we've got this all wrong, the NFL is just doing its part to save women.

 

And ESPN plops a Jason Whitlock article on the front page saying to stop showing the video. I mean [expletive].

[jersey cubs fan]

AP reporting law enforcement saying they sent video three months ago and that it was received by the NFL.

they'll probably say an intern signed for it and never notified anyone else.

[SouthSideRyan]

That was Robert Goodell they delivered it to

[Wilson A2000]

Goodell going to lose his job over Ray Rice. Why is he doing this? "To my knowledge, we never received the video." All he has left. Time to fire the NFL mail room person he'll say.

[ctcf]

The person played The Associated Press a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number on April 9 confirming the video arrived. A female voice expresses thanks and says: "You're right. It's terrible."

 

Man I hope Goodell goes down for this

Damn, he has to at this point

[jersey cubs fan]

"we have no knowledge of this..., we are not aware..., we will look into it."

[davell]

Yeah, he's done.

Dan Snyder must be pretty happy

Goodell's words to Saints about bountygate......"ignorance is not an excuse"

[UMFan83]

I was about to post this...from the Deadspin comments:

 

GOODELL: Hey, how bout that Redskins name controversy, I'd love to talk about that now. I say, let's change it! Who's with me??

Unless she passed the video up the chain and Goodell won't admit he saw it or knew about it still. But who is going to stick their neck out for that between the woman and Goodell?

ABC News @ABC

Ravens ignored tip that Ray Rice's lawyer had key video, sources tell @ABC

 

Hahaha whoops

[ctcf]

Also fun:

 

ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk

As @RossTuckerNFL just pointed out during @PFTonNBCSN, Roger Goodell told Saints leadership in bounty case, "Ignorance is not an excuse."

ABC News @ABC

Ravens ignored tip that Ray Rice's lawyer had key video, sources tell @ABC

 

Hahaha whoops

 

They knew without the tip. The Ravens' team lawyers aren't stupid.

[Wilson A2000]

Goodell said this yesterday in his letter: "As the New Jersey Attorney General's office said yesterday, "It would have been illegal for law enforcement to provide [the] Rice video to [the] NFL.""

 

Guess not.

[Sammy Sofa]

Rather ironic that the NCAA likely pulled the Penn State punishments when they did because of all the heat coming down on the NFL.

[abuck1220]

why did this stupid dolt risk his career to spare ray [expletive] rice a few games? unreal.

[davell]

The more I read, the less confident Goodell is gone. I seriously doubt he'd just up and resign from a 44 mill a year job, which leaves the owners needing to oust him. And this group of owners? Starting to agree with others, just can't see them doing it.

 

I think the only real hope is for some big sponsors to pull the plug.

We knew Mike Rice associated with Rutgers is a bad person.

We knew Ray Lewis associated with the Ravens is a bad person.

 

It should be no surprise that someone named Ray Rice associated to both Rutgers and the Ravens is also a bad person.
