    It seems the story they're going with is "Yes, we know she was knocked out. But Ray led us to believe it was by some other means besides a punch." Lame I know. But they're at that point where all they can do is keep telling the same ridiculous lie and hope that by some miracle the public buys it. Pretty much a hail mary pass.

    At this point I don't see how in the world Goodell could possibly survive this. At worst he was an integral part of a deliberate coverup. And at best he was asleep at the wheel and didn't even attempt to properly investigate the matter. And we all know the latter is not Roger Goodell's M.O.

    If I were him I would try to retain some modicum of honor/respect and just step down.

    Well Ray Lewis is on one of the networks as an analyst, so why does this surprise anyone.

    One of the questions said that he told Sean Payton ignorance wasn't an excuse after bounty gate, and if he thought he should hold himself to the same standard.

    He dodged that one, obviously. But after that, I would have just straight up asked him if he was a liar or a hypocrite. Or both.

    This is awesome.

    Goodell makes his mark as the guy who's going to clean up the league with his revamped personal conduct policy. Now a coverup about a guy beating his wife is going to do him in.

    I'm loving this.

    Janay really took one for the team. :biglaugh:

    What's ****ed is the fact that Rice isn't even the biggest scum bag involved in this story.

    He is. But, his career is over. Goodell makes over $40 million a year, and, basically looks like an enabler. This is the first NFL season that I cant wait til the pink in October, and seeing how many of those groups don't want to be associated with the NFL. Goodell overlooked it (the Huffingtonpost has a timeline of it all http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/19/ravens-ray-rice-cover-up_n_5852978.html?1411174473) Apparently Harbaugh was the only guy wanting Rice cut months ago, but got over turned by the Ravens and NFL brass.

    He is finished. It wont be this season, but I bet he doesnt survive the offseason. When was the last time a commissioner didnt present a championship trophy in any major league? I dont see how Goodell can present the Super Bowl trophy this year.
