quote:

Steelers, Giants owners say their role in the independent NFL ... Washington Post (blog)-21 minutes ago There is no telling how long the NFL's independent investigation headed by ex-FBI Director Robert Mueller III will take.

At least USA Today put it in quotation marks like it belongs

My money's on March and Goddell's punishment will be he won't be able to announce names at the draft.

if this is considered a win, then they're really screwed.

investigations take time, so it sounds like they're going to ride out the storm, but what if another AP story comes out, one even more damaging...then this will backfire

You may have actually won the $1,000,000 prize for caring least about this had you not posted this message which indicates that you do care in a way.

Well obviously they're banking on people not giving a damn about this in a few months, which if history is any indication, they won't.

Of course they think that. Goodell is their man. They're going to protect him to the extent possible.

That old rich peoples' club is a tight knit one.
