If you were the commissioner, what would you punishments be?




If I were the commissioner I wouldn't have dug myself a hole by forcing myself to arbitrarily hand out suspensions as if it were possible to fairly compare different offenses in a way that would also play well in the public media.

What he should have done is maintained a policy where the NFL only punished players if and after they pled or were found guilty of criminal offenses. Goddell's arrogance in believing he'd be able to consistently walk the lines between fairness, consistency, and pleasing the media and public now has him splashing around in the hot water he boiled.

I agree

Say the Ray Rice elevator incident happens this weekend and all the tape releases/criminal proceedings play out the same way. That means you've got three months of him playing even though you basically know exactly what happened in the elevator based on the 1st tape. That wouldn't be good.
