Let me address this to the Goodell apologist and general troll. I remember the weekend in November 1963 when this took place. There were two leagues at that time and the AFL cancelled the games and the NFL didn't. Was it a PR mistake, yes was it on the level of this latest fiasco no. Goodell since he was gifted his position has screwed up every time he has tried to exert his authority. Regarding the camera incident, he created a mountain out of a molehill to exert his authority, leaked the tapes to hurt the Pats and then destroyed them so the truth could not be shown leaving the lasting impression of guilt. Does anybody on this board aside from you think that there was anything worse on the destroyed tapes than was leaked. By the way, the POS said he was going to conduct an investigation as who leaked the tapes to the media. I wonder what happened to that investigation. I also recall that Jets players tripped a player running back a kick, an incident that actually influenced a game unlike a picture taken from an improper location. Did Goodell take any action against the management of that team like losing a draft pick. Guess not. Next came the Saints debacle where his incompetent ruling was reversed by Tagliabue who was are real commissioner. Finally we come to this disaster, the bottom line of which is that based on the police reports, and the first tape, the POS knew that Rice slugged his girlfriend and dragged her out unconscious, and his response was a two week suspension. That is all you need to know about the lack of decency in that man. Everything subsequent is just a response to the public. He likes to hold people to the standard that ignorance is no excuse and he should be held to the same standard and the NFL will be better for it.
