Around the League: Week 2

I think the NFL's lack of a stringent policy on suspending players involved in criminal matters is hurting them on this one. In the past Goodell hasn't even waited for a guilty verdict to suspend a player. I think he just picks and chooses which ones to wait on and which ones to act on. In a case like Hardy's it's definitely making him look bad, he's already gone through trial and the NFL hasn't done anything yet. Since when does the NFL wait for an appeal to be over before they act on a player?

Since Jerry Richardson probably asked for a favor. They all like their money, until it costs the NFL something to address domestic violence and have a consistent policy.. doubt anything changes.

Bad timing for Richardson in my opinion.
