    If the NFLPA put even a little bit of pressure on the owners, they would do something at this point.

    Why should Goodell even get to choose who "oversees" the investigation anyway?

    While we are uploading news stories here.....

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-if-investigation-shows-egregious-misconduct/

    Basically the story says that while the owners support Goodell now, they will determine an appropriate action if the investigation reveals that Goodell is guilty of "willful and egregious misconduct".

    It sounds like he will get a pass if it cannot be proven that he was aware that the office had the recording. Basically, IMO some lower level manager will take the hit on this it appears. It will be interesting to see if this manager's identification will be made public, and if the manager will be able to speak publicly about the incident.

    It would amaze me (to my limits of credulity) to find out that a recording like that would be put in a drawer without the highest levels of management knowing about it. That is the story that I have been hearing though.

    Goodell has irreversibly lost credibility. This loss of credibility will spread to the owners if they don't distance themselves from Goodell. He will be exonerated of willful misconduct and then resign "for the good of the league". He will receive a severance package. This will occur after the Super Bowl unless the public/media's interest escalates.

    So apparently a lot of Raven fans, men and women, were still sporting their Ray Rice jerseys last night. That's a classy fanbase I tell ya.

    I know I've told this story before but during our last playoff game against them there was a Raven fans next to me in the bathroom who was bragging about Baltimore's high murder rate.

    My favorite jersey film clip from last night was a couple walking to the game hand in hand...one in a Rice jersey and the other in a Lewis jersey. That cracked me up.
