When did this occur?!

The AEI’s entry into DeflateGate is important, because the institute was a major factor in righting the Goodell-driven injustice in BountyGate back in 2012.

The commissioner went all hanging judge on the New Orleans Saints, suspending several officials and players for a supposed bonuses system to injure opponents between 2009 and 2011. But then AEI analyzed injury data — something that surely the commissioner should have done. The AEI found that the Saints injured fewer opposing players than all but two teams in 2009 and all but one from 2009 to 2011. After AEI’s report was presented at an NFL hearing, the suspensions were vacated.

As Brady appeal nears, Goodell is stuck in a corner of his own creation

"A Veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life."

No he's not. We've pretty much already seen he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants to do it.

And by the way foreverfan, "Those bastards!"

Glad Goodell is in the entertainment industry and not in something like politics or some Government agency. He would cause an enormous amount of damage to people.

Uhmmm...........he has destroyed a lot of lives already. It's a damn good thing that he doesn't have to run for reelection.

Beastmode

Oh yeah, he has destroyed lives. It could be much worse though if he was a Senator or Governor is my point. Somebody like him, no telling what he is capable of doing. I don't think he has a conscience.

Stuck in a corner? I wish he was stuck in his seat belt as his car turns over upside down in a lake.

What the hell is that AEI stuff? I don't remember hearing anything about that playing a big role in suspensions being vacated. Was that kept hush hush to help Roger save face?

I'm still p/o'ed about the differing standards Rodger Goodell applied to Coach Payton for Bountygate and then to himself, Steve Bisciotti, Ozzie Newsome et al NFL/Ravens executives in the Ray Rice Rumble in the Elevator Fiasco AND the subsequent lack of transparency thereafter...
