If only ESPN weren't so far in bed with the nfl (and had some journalistic integrity) them we might actually get someone to investigate this further. Guess well have to settle for tmz and deadspin. Will be curious to hear Bill Simmons' take on this he straight up hates Roger.

Espn was going in on the nfl this morning for lying about seeing the tape. They aren't in bed here.

Is it wrong to think that if TMZ only now got hold of this video that perhaps the NFL and Ravens hadn't seen it either?

I can't believe that there will be anyone who'll believe Goodell and his bullshit after he destroyed all the evidence in the Spygate scandal and told everyone to move along, there was nothing to see.
Dude is a straight up slimeball.

Its kinda awkward that his girl still married him. I wonder if she'll come out and speak up for him

This is by far the worst. It had around 800 retweets this morning.

Quacks like a duck from 2008 to 2010 (that we know of), it's probably a duck.

Well she did a have a role, what if her rag doll physics body damaged the elevator?
I mean it did file for bankruptcy, can't the casino sue them for irreparably ruining their image?
They deserve NO credit.

Ok, so if the NFL will add new punishment, maybe he doesn't come back and play this season.
Though, what the fuck? The NFL didn't see this video already?
Probably already mentioned, but he's also been suspended indefinitely by the NFL

It's probably wrong to think that. Goodell is a chump that only cares about the image of the league. I'm about 95 percent certain that they saw this video and assumed that they could keep the lid on it.
Fuck that guy. I hope he loses his job.

I get being happy that Ray Rice got his comeuppance, but praising the Ravens for running a risk-reward analysis after this latest TMZ video ramped up the blowback exponentially is hilarious. They didn't do this out of any social responsibility or to take a stand against domestic violence, they did it because keeping the past-his-prime running back on the roster officially became more trouble than it was worth.

Damn, I'd seen this tweet so many times and never noticed until now that it came directly from the Ravens.
There's going to be some serious repercussions for their management after this.

Incorrect punishment from the NFL seems to be a point of discussion in this thread....

I'm enjoying the massive backpedaling from the NFL and Ravens. There is no way that they didn't see this video before.
okay, this got me
I'm pretty sure it's the producers' decision.

I think the prospect of them not seeing the video and rolling with the 2 game suspension because they figured the video would never leak is equally as bad as seeing the video and still coming to a 2 game suspension. Also, its not like they didn't know he knocked her out when this story first hit. The alternative to him not knocking her out is her knocking herself out on some Fight Club shit.

Fair enough. I consider myself a casual football fan and don't know much about the inner workings of the league or history in circumstances like this.

Worth noting Richie Incognito was suspended indefinitely/released for being mean to a teammate and calling him names.

They got away with ignoring and undermining the CTE scandal, this too will just blow over because of US consumerism. The best we can get out of this is laughing at the egg on their face and little more.

That is so fucked-up that it's hard to believe it's even real. Like who the hell would think that's a good idea to post something like that?

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Wow. Good the original suspension was laughable.
What bothers me even more, is that the NFL and other leagues still has this guaranteed money bullshit. Can we draw a line somewhere, that states something to the effect that if you beat your wife, or rape someone, or kill someone and are then released from the team they DONT FUCKING GET PAID. I mean seriously, how the fuck can anyone agree they are still owed money when they get cut for reasons like this.

LOL, what a clown
the only difference between what we know now and what we knew then, is the images of him punching her(assuming lol, NFL didnt see the in-elevator footage then).
We already knew what he did.
I thought it was a 6 game ban for the first offence?
Don't worry guys the White House is on top of this.

So I have a question: is there any precedent for having Goodell removed from his position as commissioner should it come to light that the league attempted to hide the fact that they had seen this video?
What would that process be like? Would it be up to the team owners to move forward?

FYI, the NFL burned videos related to the New England Patriots spying on opposing teams and fined the head coach $500,000 and the Pats lost a first round draft choice. I'm sure they thought they could do the same here (i.e., keep the public eye away from the damning evidence).
