re: AP: Copy of Ray Rice tape was sent to NFL executive in April -- Bye Roger

you have media in every part of this country screaming for his resignation. I imagine if you took a poll of NFL fans, Roger isn't looked fondly upon.

yes, for saints fans there is the ADDED issue of bountygate, no question

I can't be more clear than to say it isn't the ray rice video that has people calling for his job (obviously some) It is the immediate lie that was told, and a terrible one at that since you can't undo 6 months of print from dozens of guys with the track record and sources.

Lying is bad enough, but this is the "ok, come clean you've been nailed to the wall here, we all know but you still keep lying to us like we must be fricking stupid" variety

and it pisses people off. People don't want a business they frequent to keep telling them what a devalued dumb shite they are. I think it pisses off people too because they know they can't stop watching...yet

Whenever a story comes out, no matter what is, people start clamoring for the harshest possible punishment. The media force-feeds you this idea because it is polarizing and gets people talking. Falling for that should be an insult to your intelligence, not "the NFL never saw the video".

Does this mean you retire from following Power Rankings (for the 2nd time)?

the media's outrage over the actual tape is stupid...what the frick did they think was on it

now the outrage is that he's been busted lying in addition to that

I have a problem with the rice suspension because repeat pot smokers get 16 games...again, they just turn me off both morally and ethically.

Had they said, "Yeah, we saw the tape, we thought 2 games was fair at the time, we already said we regret it...we changed the policy, and that's it" then nothing would've changed from MY perspective...today would be much like last week and every week before

but they're lying, and I know they're lying...and they keep telling me (the consumer) they're not like I'm fricking retarded


that is where the calls for termination should come from...what else has he lied about?

not because he didn't punish someone hard enough or his moral judgment has sucked, we knew that shite last month

And his rep isn't favorable because of the media spin.

do you realize what a complicit sports media the NFL has had right? That's pretty much ruined now...his rep isn't favorable with the fans and hasn't been for a long long time...with the media, his rep isn't favorable for the wrong reasons, which I've said all along. It is a PC witch hunt. However, a witch hunt is warranted because he is lying his arse of, and at every turn he's confronted with evidence to the contrary he doubles down. He deserves to go, I don't care if that is the actual reason he does go

and you haven't been paying attention if you haven't seen that roger goodell has bent the knee to the PC mob, brought it into the league and plays that game with the best of them. So I wouldn't defend him for one second as that same mob becomes his undoing

with out reading this whole thread...is he gone?

jeezums


I find it insulting to have the NFL lie to me repeatedly ABOUT ANYTHING...I've felt they've been doing it for some time, now I have confirmation, they're response is to bunker down and ride out the storm, meaning it will continue...as a consumer I feel about as devalued as you can, so I'm not watching...it's really that simple

Ended up being the public was mislead... The media never apologizes

The same media you are condemning right now where the same outlet Goodell used to push his agenda with the bounty gate saga.

The Goodell & the league office used the media to mislead millions of football fans into believe the Saints organization was running a vicious, hit squad while paying players for these hits.

While fans of other organizations had no vested interest in the situation other then what they were being feed by the media, many took what they were feed, hook, line & sinker.

So you must excuse the Saints fans who actually followed this entire story from the beginning to the end. We have been exposed to the numerous lies surrounding the entire situation. One of the main driving points Goodell used in making his disciplinary decision is that Saints had been warned before to stop but they failed to listen to those warnings. Scott Fujita along with the other Saints players were suspended because they were accused of being the ring leaders & continuing the bounty system after they warned to stop after the 2009 season. Well guess what? Fujita left through free agency for Cleveland after that season. So how in the hell could have Fujita been a part of a so called system when he wasn't even a member of the organization anymore? Those lies were one of the reasons the suspensions against the other players had to be dropped.


Now the same media Goodell used as his personal PR staff for that whole saga, is now using the same power to slander him while it appears he misled the public in his ruling of this incident? Excuse me if I don't have any pity towards to Goodell in this situation. He deserves every bit of criticism he receives. Like James Harrison tweeted yesterday, "it ain't fun when the rabbit got the gun."
