Nope.... If you hired a contract killer and put a bounty on Goodells head but there was a whistle on the play, you would still go to jail for conspiracy to knock Goodell out of the game.

Sorry to nerd it up, but evidence of mitigation following the act can't be used in favor of or against in a law suit. But it WILL poison the jury pool. By the time it goes to trial, years from now, jurors won't remember that all this cracking down happened AFTER the lawsuit was filed.

Their bottom lines are tied directly to kissing the ass of the NFL. The league could make has been hacks out of just about every sports "reporter" claiming that job title. Not all, but damn near all... Clayton is a hack beat reporter without his "insider" info. Yasinskas is flipping burgers. King is reviewing movies for some east coast paper. Those guys have to be VERY careful, and you can better believe Goodell knows it. |

If this case were in a court of law you could certainly argue that "threats of intention" do not match the evidence of outcome.
Key word here is "If". But in a dictatorship the *despot decides the outcome. And if the despot concludes that his minions have not fully cooperated with his inquiry in a matter that may lead to sanctions on his politbureau, then the dictator must punish the subordinate minions in full view of those who might impose sanctions in an attempt to avoid a monetary penalty on his kingdom. *Goodell |

Also, it is a show for the benefit of those in Congress who poked at the NFL in 2009, so they don't come back asking what's up.

It reminds me of an old Gene Stallings quote...
Don't evaluate someone by what they say they're going to do, evaluate them by what they've actually done. |
