OTL reporting Ravens executives had a detailed account of what happened within hours, and denied Harbaugh's request to cut him.

Good god Rachel Nichols owned Goodell at the press conference.

I've seen "goodell is done" about 6 times in the last 30 days. I'll believe it when I see it, but I hope he gets the boot after this. Basically guarantees goodell and the NFL knew how bad it was within days of the incident. Despite claiming they had no idea until everyone else did.

The entire Ravens front office should be gone.

Ravens owner also texted rice after cutting him, to offer him employment with the Ravens in the future. POS.

There's the full Outside the Lines story. Pretty long read but holy shit does it look bad for the Ravens front office and Goodell.

In order for Goodell to be gone, would it require basically the owners to come together and want him gone? You'd think if there was someone more proactive in charge that he'd be gone.

The most important aspect of Goodell's job boils down to basically "make the NFL look good." I don't think you can argue he hasn't failed miserably at that. Not sure what the motivation for keeping him is.

RIP Rob Bironas. Dude was a great man and a great kicker.

Crazy I was at the titans game last week and didn't even know he was no longer with them until a titans fan mentioned how weird it was not seeing him out on the field.

Carlos Dunlap running down Jake Locker at full speed was impressive.

Romo has gone from a good QB to absolute trash.

I'm actually regretting not wanting them to take Manziel.

Lol same here. I was at a bar/brewery on draft night and was pretty drunk it was like 4 picks from the Cowboys pick and I was wearing a jersey so people kept asking me who I thought they would take. I said as long as it's not Manziel I'll be happy and if they do take Manziel then I'm walking home(about 10 miles).

Teddy B is looking really good right now too. Viks should have started him from the beginning.

I've pretty much always been a Romo guy too. But I think it's time to make a move.

Meanwhile, the Bengals defense is the best in the league, even without Burfict and about a 70% Geno Atkins. Jake Locker on the other hand? Awful.

And yes, seeing these Cowboys/Rams highlights and watching the first 2 Dallas games, surprisingly, their offense has been a complete mess outside of Murray. I was definitely wrong about them. Not a positive vibe for that team at all.

Yeah right now it doesn't look good. I guess we will just have to wait and see if it gets any better. If not definitely need to look at drafting someone to replace him.

It was good to see the Cowboys get some points to end the half. Now just need to take this kickoff for a TD. Also Murray needs to get this fumbling issue figured out.
