Well I guess the NFL/Ravens claims that she "provoked" him or whatever are total horseshit. Thanks for making that a thing Peter King, Steven A. Smith, et. al.

Chokes McGee posted:You'd be surprised. That's twice now Goodell has been hit in the face with his own stupidity (replacement refs, the original Rice incident) and, after a couple of weeks of intense negative press, had to walk back or surrender on his position. That's never going to happen. Goodell makes them money hand over fist with his idiocy, he has a job as long as the money rolls in. And the money will continue to roll in because a) most NFL fans aren't Ravens fans and b) the season's already started so this will be buried once MNF happens tonight.

No Butt Stuff posted:I really doubt that Goodell reopens this. He should, but I'm sure there's some poo poo about it in the CBA. Goodell pisses on the CBA all the time for pointless reasons. But no, now it's time to make a Principled Stand and uphold the CBA.

Garbo posted:you forgot the amen it doesn't count Yeah especially since Adam Shcefter is basically just the "reporting on injury and transactions" guy. So it's not really his job to go off on this while this is totally within Peter King's realm. Another entry into Why_Peter_King_Sucks.docx

Kirios posted:Also the NFL are lying sacks of poo poo for saying they didn't have access to the video prior to today and I hope none of you believe them for a second. I hope we're all cynical enough now to not trust the NFL when it comes to anything that could damage The Shield.

Industrial posted:Why the gently caress would Roger Goodell risk his job by lying to protect loving Ray Rice? Something doesn't add up here. What did he have to lose by handling the tape from day 1 the way he did on Monday if he had really seen it? He had to protect The Shield at all costs. The Shield is never wrong. Ergo they never saw the tape because The Shield would never stand for that if they knew the full truth.

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:Firing a woman as their scapegoat is going to go over really well. This is pretty much what's gonna happen. It's almost too perfect with the way everything else has gone. Firing a woman for all this is probably the only thing that can somehow make it worse, unless they reveal that Goodell also has a domestic assault arrest/conviction under his belt.

Quest For Glory II posted:I think Wilbon put it best (in a rarity) when he said that "either he's lying or he's shown he has a lack of institutional control, and either one means he has to go" That's the same argument people used for Chris Christie and his bridge shutdown debacle and he's still governor. This is like when the owner gives the coach a vote of confidence right?

So Deadspin point out something buried in Peter King's column today. Namely, Peter King was directly lied to and manipulated by either the NFL's general counsel, the VP in charge of Labor Relations or by Goodell himself. http://deadspin.com/peter-king-is-a-goddamn-embarrassment-1665259136 Deadspin posted:SI.com's Peter King, the most powerful NFL writer in the business, sees his job as flattering other powerful people so that they'll allow him to uncritically pass on whatever they'd like to have passed on. He's very good at it, as the incredible correction buried a couple of thousand words into his latest column shows. If Peter King was an actual journalist he'd be screaming about this from the rooftops, not burying it in his column.
