perhaps the only punishment is that he's been placed in the substance abuse program, and therefore its confidential.

Good catch. Also, Ben said that the meeting was "productive". I am reading tea leaves but that would seem to follow what you suggested.

If Goodell only hands a substance abuse punishment down, he is going to get killed in the media.

Whitlock will be all over him.
