Deadspin is quickly becoming my favorite news source. They have been relentless with this and I love it.

I'm agree.

But I'm still not sure Goodell will survive. Trey Wingo tweeted out part of his statement to the Saints during the bounty shit...

"...ignorance is not an excuse."

You are fucked Roger...
"No one in the NFL, to my knowledge, and I had been asked that same question and the answer to that is no. We were not granted that. We were told that was not something we would have access to. On multiple occasions, we asked for it. And on multiple occasions we were told no. I understand that there may be legal restrictions on them sharing that with us. And we've heard that from attorneys general and former attorneys general."

Now it's being reported that the Ravens knew what was on the tape and knew Rice's lawyer had a copy, but didn't ask him for it.

The funny thing is it's Goodells ego that's gonna get him. If he would have not changed their stance when the video was released and just admitted the NFL didn't have a policy and based on the leagues history 2 games was the norm. He then decided it was wrong and wrote a much tougher policy. Instead he couldn't handle the criticism and when the video came out he saw that as a chance to look good to the public.

Hopefully when Goodell is canned Gordon is completely fucked and doesn't get reinstated until a new Commish comes on board.

A bit late but the NFL has to make an attempt to cover their ass. Just like I stated in a previous post, someone fucked up and needs to be held accountable.

What a load of horseshit. Goodell is a POS and should be out. Plain and simple.

I don't understand why that is horseshit. Didn't you think this was coming eventually?

How did anyone not know what was on the tape? Everyone knew he hit her, what did they expect to see?

I have read and heard that Rice and his wife told the League and the Ravens that basically he pushed her and she fell and hit her head. Not that he straight up punched her.

But let's be honest; if you believe their story, then you're a dumbass.

Some intern/low level person will get axed for not passing along this tape...even if she did or not, and receive a large severance pay for playing along

Lol@ James Harrison giving goodell/nfl shit for this on twitter right now.

That POS beat the hell out of his gf and didn't get any suspensions or fines.

He has no room to join this conversation.

His body slamming of a fan who ran onto the field gives him immunity!
He was never a guy with high character or morals. He was never a guy you wanted to run across in a dark alley. He was just one mean, bad son of a bitch.

And he was a piece of shit. Why can't steelers fans ever man up and call a spade a spade?
