Bill Simmons and Dan Van Netta Jr. discuss Goodell's hypocrisy re: Bountygate
Posted on 12/2/14 at 5:42 pm

Anthony Hargrove's career ended due to a misquote that the NFL trumped up ("Pay me my money" - he never played another down after Bountygate broke), Goodell's hypocrisy in Ray Rice in regards to how he handled Bountygate, leveraging Bountygate to try and curry favor in respects to public relations with the head trauma issue, etc.
Sportsguy drops the hammer on Goodell suspending Sean Payton for being "ultimately accountable" yet not taking the same responsibility for his (Goodell's) own botched handling of both Bountygate and Ray Rice.
Great listen (but then, what would you expect from the legendary Bill Simmons)?

Bountygate was such bullshite, but this
is ridiculous. Hargrove signed on with multiple teams after that. He just wasn't good enough to make it on the field in the regular season.

The packers released him due to the suspension.

Dude is really hit or miss, but he definitely nailed it here. Goodell is a terrible commissioner, and I understand people wanting to give him a second chance, but honestly he is a joke. He has no idea how to use his power correctly, and thus things like these domestic violence cases get out of control.

I believe this is what happened.

Nope, it's backed up that he was released and blackballed over inaccurate attribution to Bountygate.
Money Bill Simmons quote: "The people who should be the most upset about this are the Saints and their fans. They lost a whole season."
Simmons again: When you see the preferential treatment that Goodell gave to Kraft and the Patriots - one of his angels that helped him get the Commissioner job, and the preferential treatment that Goodell gave to Biscotti and the Ravens - one of his closest allies... The real question is that if Bountygate had happened to the Giants or the Patriots or the Ravens instead of the Saints - would the punishment have been far less?

The punishment would have been:
Bill fined 500k
Pats fined 250k
Pats lose 2012 1st round pick (31st)
Sounds about right.

And then the Cowboys have him a chance.

I'm starting to really love Bill Simmons

Can't stand Simmons. I I'll take your word that it was a good listen.

The Saints didnt just lose a season. They are still hurting bc of this. Saints lost two 2 rd picks (cheap potential starters) as a result. The effects of this are on display this season for sure.
