SI's Farrar just clobbers Goodell in latest piece

Some nice bon mots...

Goodell, as is his wont, was never interested in fairness. He was interested in admittance and capitulation. The NFL would only settle with Brady if Brady admitted guilt in a case that did not compel him to do so. Basically, Goodell took the NFL's interior standard of discipline to an actual court of law, and he rightly got slammed as a result. Sadly, he probably doesn't understand why.

What we have now is the end of a useless exercise which cost millions of dollars, and man-hours, for no good result except that once again, the NFL has proven that under Goodell, it's in completely over its own organizational head. Very quickly, the guilt or innocence of the defendant became a moot point, as it has been throughout Goodell's tenure.

Those are nice snippets, but it would seem he's just ANOTHER mediot who now doesn't want to "cloud" his argument with the issue of the truth that nothing happened. Some how these guys are changing their narrative to include "Whether Brady is guilty or innocent doesn't matter at this point". YES IT DOES! It's like the TRUTH doesn't matter any more. I have to ask, "At what point DOES the truth start to matter?"

Now that we have gotten the prisoner off of death row, and the warden exposed to some degree to the harsh light of criticism; ISN'T it well passed time that we get back to the original question of whether the accused was guilty of the alleged crime?????????

I LOVE that this decision is eliciting more calls to the mat for Goodell. And I am very hopeful the NFL's loss on appeal rehashes every one and maybe adds a few more. More, more, more.....

How can anyone support this turd (Goodell). Anyone who has had dealings with him hates him, the owners must hate him by now, the fans who want any players accused of any violations (except by their team) slammed with multi-game or season long suspensions must hate him. Goodell is possibly the most hated person in the US since Bin Laden was killed. I can't wait to see him attend a game or function where fans are in attendance. It should be pretty embarrassing to the league. I doubt he has the personal integrity to be embarrassed because of his failures.

Imagine this for a second: The most successful sports league in the world and the leader of that league is perceived to be the biggest f'in buffoon in sports. What a laughing stock the league, Goodell, and his cronies have made of the NFL hierarchy (imbeciles).

Don't forget some owners (*cough* Snyder) are probably dumber.

I love that closing sentence -- "It's time for Roger Goodell to go."
I hope to see this happen sooner rather than later!

Goodell has taken a beating in the courts and in the public eye.
It's just a matter of time until he loses his job.
His next Blunder should be his last!!
