SF player investigated for possible sexual assault

Second time he has been under investigation this season. He was being investigated for domestic assault and battery early in the season.

This guy appears to be scum.

Gonna be right interesting to see how this one plays out. If Goodell balks, then hopefully he's a gonner and the league can find someone with at least a modicum of ethics.

The man in the Journal profile is purposeful, but also seemingly a bit dim and definitely implausibly, laughably cosseted. The paper follows him from one important lunch— always with powerful men, always in private clubs—to another; a brief moment spent listening to a call on a domestic violence hotline leaves Goodell in need of "a stiff drink." The impression left, throughout, is that of some chromosomally atypical late-Hapsburg Princeling very suddenly confronted with the need to assume a difficult military command. Goodell delegates everything, and understands shockingly little; he is assertive and confident, but almost poignantly ignorant. He's in charge, and nothing else.

Over and over again, Goodell seems unprepared for and startled by not just his own league's startling upreparedness to confront complicated problems, but by everything; the entire non-NFL world is somehow a troubling surprise. We might as well assume that Goodell wants to do good work in making the NFL, as he put it in October, "a leader in the domestic-violence space." But as he appears only to have noticed that domestic violence exists sometime during the preseason, this may take a while.

the 49er released him.

the 49er released him.

Funny how they stood by him when the season started, now that they are out of contention, they find their high horse and release him. I guess the second allegation of sexual abuse is the bar for the 49ers.

They should get no credit for releasing him!!

Huh. Reminds me of someone else in a very important job. I know, wait a minute, it'll come to me. Wears mom jeans and golfs a lot, IIRC. Hmm... who could it be? Who could it be?

As much as we would want him gone, fact is, he serves at the pleasure of the owners. That includes our own, Mr. Kraft. As long as he makes them money, he will continue to be commish, regardless of what we and the media think.
