the NFL is obviously too cowardly to fire roger

It's not the tape, it's that the tape adds to his shameful body of work of poor decision making and the unfairness and unevenness in which he throws around his weight.

He went to great lengths on the Starcaps incident. He and his army of lawyers pursued it to the ends of the earth, same with Bountygate. The Pats though, all the evidence was destroyed with a mild slap on the wrists. If this tape does not get out Rice is back on the field in 2 weeks. 2 weeks!!! It's sickening, more than "I got it wrong", more than just poor judgment. It's unacceptable on the same level as many of his other verdicts.

'Players should take a stand'

You mean pull together and present a united front?

That's the NFLPA which is headed by Demaurice Smith who is presently trying to get drug testing standards lowered so players can get high and hide PED masking agents easier.

He doesn't have the testicular fortitude to go after Goodell when he needs him so Gordon can play again this season and help his fantasy team.

The NFLPA looked at the present CBA, saw an increase in compensation and signed. Never gave a thought to the other 80 pages and the absolute power they gave the commissioner. Greed created this, let them deal with it.

Put me on the list of people who honestly do not give a sh** what happens to Goodell. The Rice incident has nothing to do with the Saints in that nothing that comes out of this will affect us. We not get our #2 pick back, we will not get Payton back from that lost season, and we will not get our credibility back from those who do not understand that we were made an example of.
Goodell made $44 million last year. He will never want for anything. He will not face criminal charges. He f***** us, but we will never get restitution. I really could not care what happens to him next.

Everything you said is correct and you're a good man for feeling that way.

But I get a certain, smug sense of happiness watching him squirm.

If he would have just manned up and said he screwed up on Rice's suspension the first time and was adding 4 more games to it, everything would've been fine. But he was too arrogant to admit he was wrong. So this is a scandal of his own making.

When he accused the Saints organization of hurting people for money and found them guilty of running a bounty program, he never felt he needed to show any proof.
He named Vilma, Fujita and others by name and said they were evil and that they tried to intentionally injure other men, and we all should just take his word for it.
They vehemently denied the allegations, they even swore under oath they didn't do the things Goodell said they did. They demanded to see his evidence, but he was so arrogant that he told them he didn't have to prove anything to them because he was the commissioner.
A federal judge, who got to see all the evidence called Goodell's case against Vilma "baloney". But he still hid behind the collective bargaining agreement that gave him all the power.
I don't wish any harm to the guy, but I wouldn't be honest if I didn't admit I'm kinda glad that he's being shown as a liar and that he will be remembered that way. I've had a smile on my face for a week now just thinking about it.

I'm guess I'm just kinda petty that way.

I agree with most of that, but I do wish Goodell harm. He single-handedly brought harm to all of us as Saints fans with no support whatsoever.

May the Karma Gods bend him over and thrust until they can thrust no more.

Utah & Guido:
I am all for RG getting whatever he deserves; I'm not a turn the other cheek kind of guy either.
My point was that no matter what happens, the Saints will not be made whole for what was taken away 2 years ago, and he will walk away a very rich man

A very rich man with a permanent hemorrhoid condition. I want him scarred for life. He scarred the Saints reputation with his mindless witch hunt. Payback is a *****.
