Rutgers guy gets the sack.
This Giants team is disheartening. Gonna be a long year for me.
I better check the Peanut Butter shelf again.

I fucking hate John Elway because he is John Elway.
I want Oakland, SF, and Arizona with SD in a proper west. KC and Denver can go make homosex on the plains, and Seattle should or could just join the CFL since they are pretty much there already
edit- rams can also join the goat mountain hot tub party with the broncos and chiefs.

Longer video has been obtained by the AP. Instagram that Southpaw posted is in here too: http://washington.cbslocal.com/2014/09/09/longer-rice-video-features-obscenities-spitting/
First of all, I don't believe for one second that the NFL didn't see the video, but even if I make that miraculous leap, then they are still open to heavy criticism. Rice's lawyer had the video. Goodell could have simply told him to bring it with him to their meeting. The NFL also has so many former federal and local law enforcement officers working in their security department, that any number of them could have called in a favor and easily obtained a copy of the tape from the police department or casino itself. Now TMZ and the AP just get the video with ease? They are more powerful than the NFL lol.
The only plausible explanation is that the NFL purposely didn't see the video, even though it was made available. This allows the league to say "honestly" that it hadn't seen the elevator video before yesterday. To me, it's plausible deniability, to me.

But why then tell reporters like Schefter that you saw the video?
Good question. I guess their source either had some bad information, or it was purposely leaked to them.
SOURCEZZ!

Te NFL has reached and passed the point it believes it is now too big to fail.
I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL didn't already know that tape was "leaked" to TMZ and was prepared to just bury Ray Rice and assume the public would be too naive and just believe whatever they say, regardless of the contradiction. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they actually released the tape to TMZ.

Do I have the chain of events correctly?
- Rice punches out a woman
- Rice gets suspended 2 games
- Goodell comes out and says that only 2 games was a mistake and the new policy is a 6 game suspension for a first offense of something like this
- Video comes out
- Rice is suspended indefinitely
Not that I think the punishment is too harsh, but why does he get an indefinite suspension when they literally just created a rule saying 6 games is going to be the punishment as a reaction to this exact incident?

I'm okay with this one

I think you hit the nail on the head with the bolded. It is pure hubris. Goodell has displayed nothing but an arrogant disregard for the fans, the players and the media since he has been in his role. And I don't think that is because he is just some asshole (though he is assuredly that). I think he is just acting in his role as a mouthpiece for the owners in a particularly transparent way.

I really need to see at least a couple videos of this before I can really make a determination. And she needs to own up to her part in it.

I don't really like the way reading those words makes me feel, but yes, he was.

NFL will say that the incident all occurred before the new policy. Therefore, it can be lumped in under the "old policy" which was no policy and the punishment is up to the discretion of the commissioner.
I love how the crawler on espn says, "NFL says it sought video from multiple sources". The fucking casino says it would have gladly given them the video had they asked. So the nfl apparently sought the video from sources other than the source that had the video. Who were they checking with, wikileaks or 4chan...maybe reddit?

Which is going to be hilarious when a new drug policy is agreed upon in the next 24-48 hours and Josh Gordon and Wes Welker are reinstated because they would not have been guilty under the new policy guidelines.
