Goodell canceled his speaking event tonight. The NFL main office is circling the wagons.
Ray Rice's attorney said he had a copy of the damaging elevator footage in the first meeting they had with NFL/Goodell investigating this attack and they never asked him for it. They did not even ask if a video existed. Plausible deniability.

The irony in all of this is two years ago, Roger Goodell told the Saints that ignorance was not a suitable defense in the Bountygate scandal. In the wake of the second Ray Rice video, the NFL commissioner is using that same defense. His credibility is gone.

Check out the votes in Louisiana.
