NFL policy may be changing a tad...

First....great win and feels good.Bring on the Lions for win #2. Check out the new TMZ sports video of Rice cold cocking his now "wife" on the elevator camera.She hit him first,then he throws a haymaker to the head. Tried to link it but could not get it to work.Posted this on the football central site,but also brought it here since it relates indirectly to a Panther player..The NFL says that it will take all cases on an indivual basis and dole out punishment as they see fit, so they may be backtracking on the mandatory 6 games..Once this goes viral the NFL will have to give Rice 6 games.Hardy may only get the 2 since his case is he said/she said even if convicted by the jury.Hope we cold cock the Ravens like that P.O.S did to that woman...hit first or not.

Further proof that Goodell is a fuging idiot.  Obviously the video was going to get out eventually.  How can you justify a two game suspension when there is ocular proof of an NFL player spitting on his woman and then hitting her with a left?  Of course Goodell had to backtrack after that. Rice should have been hammered.

If Goodell were to retroactively increase the length of Rice's punishment, after already dealing it out, everyone would come after him. Rice's lawyer, his agent, the Ravens and the NFLPA. I recently heard the Executive Director of the NFLPA do a radio interview, and when discussing the Rice case, he sounded exactly like the piece of poo lawyer everyone would expect him to be. Goodell would have a total poo storm on his hands.

 

In other words, it would take brass balls to make the decision and say, "Not only did I get it wrong, but when confronted with this evidence, I have no choice but do the right thing, do what society demands, and extend the term of the punishment." Everyone is expecting Goodell to cover his ass and leave it the way it is. Now is the time to prove he won't be held hostage by the NFLPA and lawyers, and he is in fact the law and order commissioner he claims to be. Let's see.

    • I have a hard time imagining us making any changes mid-season no matter how bad it gets. Tepper is impulsive. But a) there's nothing to be gained by making a change 3 weeks into a season, you're already signaling your season is over. Is someone really going to step in at this point and turn things around? Anyone in the league? Or even CFB, because I don't think Bellichick could step in and right this ship. So the best we could hope for, is someone like Wilks to step in, boost morale enough to win a few meaningless games and ruin our chances at a top pick, and then have the wheels fall off again. And b) Tepper has proven that he is capable of learning some lessons. We really haven't heard much out of that clown recently. Certainly not as much as we used to the first few seasons. And by this I mean I think he knows he has a reputation. And no quality coach wants to go and work for the impulsive, meddlesome owner who repeatedly fires coaches midseason. We've already got to be the least attractive landing spots in the NFL with the absolute dearth of talent, conditioning, and playing surface that will keep players healthy. So the best thing to do is at least pretend that he's ready to stay out of the way. So either way, IMO the smart play is you let this play out all season.  Let these suckers go down with the ship, and if a regime change is needed, you wait til the end of the season to make a change.
