4 games is a steeper penalty than what was originally handed down to Ray Rice, from the NFL Commissioner.
ICYMI: Rice knocked his [now] wife unconscious in an elevator.
How do those meetings go, that determine suitable disciplinary action? I picture a large oval mahogany table, leather chairs… 10-15 super important rich guys shootin’ the shit, eating expensive snacks.
As my imagination starts getting extra creative… I picture them all cackling, their old-rich-pretentious cackles when they start getting down to business.
…It’s not cooperating with the big guys upstairs […not Jesus].
Detroit Lions defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh stomped on Green Bay Packer’s quarterback, Aaron Rogers ankle and ended up having his one game suspension reduced to a fine.
The Atlanta Falcons were streaming in fake crowd noise during home games – ultimately trying to gain an advantage over their opponent & were handed down a punishment of the loss of a fifth-round draft pick in 2016, and the team was fined $350,000.
Are you telling me Roger Goodell, that Matt Ryan had no knowledge of this? Not even possibly?
The Minnesota Viking’s were caught heating up game footballs during a cold game in November last year… They received a warning.
[Roger Goodell Is A Shit-Eating Moron]
I’m not a Patriots fan, and I have never cheered for Tom Brady… but, Roger Goodell is lower on the totem pole.
In my own [and Yahoo!’s] perfect world…
This is just another example of the hypocrisy of the NFL and sports, in general. I could go on forever about both. I’m a sports fan and have been my entire life but the things that have gone on, or should I say, been documented, have given me reason to reconsider my investment in this. I’m a Giants fan and have had season tickets for forty years but I haven’t been to a game in two years. They’ve taken the enjoyment out of it for me and let’s be real, Goodell works for the owners and Kraft is a major influence in any decision he makes. There is no rhyme or reason for decisions or discipline. The league is run by greedy thieves and played, in large part, by criminals. And yet, we watch and pay while they all laugh as they make their bank deposits. I don’t like the Patriots and I take enjoyment in knowing that the only losses Tom and Bill have had in a Super Bowl is to the Giants.

The hypocrisy is large, and yet I can’t stand Tom Brady, so I’m okay with him being suspended.
