I didn't know Goodell was a potential juror.

With the stuff that flew in court, is it much of a stretch at this point to argue it?

Article 46 says he can do what he wants. Juror, judge, attorney, whatever.

Sad thing is, these are the people who usually *do* get selected for jury duty. It takes a special type to be so clueless about the murder which was a huge news story that went beyond the sports pages.

Ray Lewis killed a guy, Goodell aquitted him. That's all I understood from this thread.

"Sad thing?" For crissakes, ideally you want people who know nothing about the case on juries.

The problem comes when lawyers on both sides omit the "about the case" from that statement.

Yes but what kind of bleeping moron who lives in the local area doesn't know anything about this case??? It was HUGE NEWS, even beyond the sports pages.

To you and to me it was huge news. But, those for whom it was not huge news are automatically "morons?"

Its frightening that there are people that stupid who serve jury duty and decide the fate of people's lives lol

In the case of Hernandez, that's an obvious slam dunk.. but man

To any intelligent human being living in the extended Boston metropolitan area with even a slightest clue as to what is going on in the world around them, it was huge news. It dominated the media cycle for weeks. Helicopters were swirling around Hernandez' home providing live coverage on all 4 networks.

Sure, many citizens don't care one bit how it impacted the New England Patriots' 2-TE offensive schemes, but the story itself was literally impossible to avoid for any individual who so much as glances at a newspaper or puts a radio on in the car.

In our world, yes. In everyone's? Not necessarily.

It made me think of the O.J. documentary. One of the jury question was (paraphrasing): "Will your life be negatively affected from a sequester lasting several months?" I mean, seriously, what kind of person can answer "No" to that question??!?

Gimme a break. It was major local news outside just the sporting world. Your sad denial of that fact does not change it.

OK, Goober, whatever you say...

Now now... no need to be so butthurt. It's not my fault you look so silly.

AH was responsible for Defamegate. He could have killed a clown.
