    The prophecy of Mark Cuban has been fulfilled, has it not?

    No matter what he did to his wife, that punishment is too severe for Ray Rice.

    Robinson got 2 more games than Ray McDonald. Any mention of that in the next pre-game report? Anyone trying to get a hold of the criminal investigations? Where's the reporting? Waiting for Jed York to give you permission to cover the story? If the Vice President of the local Gas and Electric Company was arrested for a felony domestic violence charge, like RayMacDonald, would he be on the job the next day? Would the local paper not cover the story?

    Ray McDonald has been accused. The NFL has not punished him yet, but is it fair to criticize the league for that when the case has not gone through the legal system yet? It's not like the case with Rice, which had at least some video evidence months ago.

    Goodell punished Roethlisberger without charges or a conviction.
    There has never been any sense of proportion to these suspensions.

    Damn good point, Fart.

    No rhyme nor reason to anything Goodell has done.

    He's making it up as he goes along. That's bullshit and unacceptable. He needs to go.

    Kinja put together a list of domestic abuse cases in the NFL since Goodell took over in 2006.

    Assaulting a pregnant woman, throwing a wife down a flight of stairs over a Facebook argument, spilling bleach on wife and son, assaulting one's own mother, the whole megillah.

    Well, one would assume McDonald will eventually be suspended. I'm not sure why Hardy hasn't been.

    I am finding this whole thing damn entertaining. Now, how about this:

    http://deadspin.com/bill-polian-disagrees-with-bill-polians-insider-opinion-1633593081/all

    Bill Polian is on Sportscenter talking about how the NFL *he* knew would never ever let something like this video slip through the cracks... Goes on and on.

    Then, there is a technical snafu, and he's gone for twenty minutes. When he comes back --- hey, this can happen in any bureaucracy!!

    Has Michael Strahan been brought up in any of the domestic abuse discussions? Only accusations but his ex-wife accused him of pretty nasty stuff. But hey, he smiles a lot and is likeable so I'm sure it's okay.

    They must have reminded him of the possibility (probability) that Marvin Harrison is a murderer.

    NFL should ditch the pink and recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
