Goodell must be really desperate because it appears that the strategy that he's going to use to save his job is to accuse Ray Rice of lying when he met with him. Surely Goodell must know that not only does he have to discredit Rice, but he must also discredit everybody else who was in that room who all support Rice's version of events, including Ozzie Newsome.

quote:

The letter, signed by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and obtained by ESPN, explains that the league concluded Rice's original two-game suspension for assaulting his now-wife, Janay Palmer, should be indefinite because video released by TMZ Sports on Monday showed Rice in the act of striking her in an Atlantic City hotel casino elevator.

"This video shows a starkly different sequence of events from what you and your representatives stated when we met on June 16," Goodell wrote, "and is important new information that warrants reconsideration of the discipline imposed on you in July.

"Based on this new information, I have concluded that the discipline imposed upon you in July was insufficient under all the circumstances and have determined instead to impose an indefinite suspension."

One thing that's certain is that no player will ever met with Goodell again without a tape recorder and multiple witnesses.

Oh so it's because rice lied and goodell believed him because Janay admitted culpability...with an eager left hook just feet away. The first video was all he needed to know what happened

He misjudged public perception, and that's all he cares about

Basically, Goodell is going to employ a scorched earth policy to save himself. He's accusing a lot of people of being liars.
