Goodell awfully quiet about arrests
 

But Goodell hasn’t played judge, jury or executioner on any of these dubious black-eye incidents? He’s been invisible, really. Twenty-seven arrests. And not a peep. Perhaps the commissioner is letting the court of law (and court of public opinion) play themselves out instead of acting prematurely. Or, perhaps Goodell’s remaining quiet and out of the crosshairs of all things off the field because he’s been busy laying the hammer down on the New Orleans Saints’ on-the-field issues.

Roger Goodell awfully quiet during players' arrest-laden offseason - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN

Well, there is less risk of lawsuit as opposed to the supposed bounty pay-for-injury situation.

I was going to ask what would happen if a DUI player, Lynch), hit and killed a pedestrian; Then I remembered Donte Stallworth already did exactly that AND STILL GOT TO PLAY!!

And he only got under a year in jail for it, most people would be looking at 5-10 years for manslaughter

Maybe normal people arent rich enough

Small potatoes compared to a multi-billion dollar class action, brought on by multiple ex players with brain or contact related injury, I suppose.

He's been awfully quiet since the March ESPN inverview. I can't find one interview, just general statements written by his lawyers. I think his days of speaking to journalists are pretty over.

This is why Vilma, the NFLPA, and the fans HAVE to keep the whole thing going. Roger is banking on it just going away. This cannot be allowed to happen. This is the perfect time to push for a change to the way he does business.

Whew! I thought some Saints were busted when I first read the title. Why the hell would rg be talking about wrongdoing by players from some other team? Still, them doing that'll get Sean another year's vacation somehow, some way.

If I was Sean Payton and the NFL told me I had to sit out another year, for whatever reason, I'd leave pro football for the single biggest job in college football and wait for this tyrant Goodell to finally get CANNED by the NFL or forced into jail.

You are soooo right!!:biggun:

He suspended Mikel Leshoure (DET) for two games but has yet to suspend the other 2 Lions arrested in the offseason ... part of it may be because there's something in the NFL about if multiple players from one team are suspended, said team has to pay a portion of their salary to the league, so maybe he's doing some 'calculating', :lol: ... don't know why he doesn't jump on some of these guys, there's been 30+ arrests this offseason.

Really interested in what he does to Dumazz Bryant.

28 NFL players have been arrested this offseason, but Goodell is permanently attatched to Vilma's crotch. Go figure.

It was an off the field issue and a matter of the court. When they are found guilty they will get their suspensions. At least that is the way it is supposed to be. With the black eye the NFL is going to get over this bounty gate stuff they want to make sure not to look like they are suspension Nazis.

Here is what I want to know. There were rumors floating around that Dez Bryant's mom was a prostitute at one point in her life. Maybe she went back to it and Dez is acting as her manager. She may have "gotten out of line", so he pimp-slapped her. Gotta keep that pimp hand strong, Dez.

Maybe, just maybe he'll wait and see the evidence first before he does anything.

Why would he start now? :o/

Add K.Britt to the list.

why don't they get close family to d. drive for them. they all beg for cash, put them to work and save thereself.just don't get it.

Or wear condoms, or buy an indoor basketball court, or make stupid real estate investments, or start a dog fighting enterprise...you could go on and on. Having money doesn't exempt you from stupidity.

That's not just football players either. You'd think a some point, that Lohan girl would hire a driver.

:lol:, you guys are cracking me up, :lol: ... chalk up a few more ... another Detroit Lion, although technically he was arrested last offseason and just didn't report it until now, :rolleyes:, and Dez Bryant beating up his mom ... beating up his mom? ... for crissake, when did the NFL become the NBA?!?!
