Yet no one is calling for Newsome to resign or Bisciotti to sell the team.

No doubt, plenty of blame to go around. Goodell is just the easy target.

You are? You only need to look at our elected officials to show you how stupid the majority of the public really are.

This is fitting since today is 9/11 and goes along with the theme here.

Keith Olbermann actually called for everybody to be fired (including Ozzie) so I'll give him credit for that much.

I just watched this episode yesterday!

KO is always calling for people to be fired all the time, it's become hard to take seriously

Very true. Which is why I generally don't watch him. He's over the top on about everything.

Him and Glen Beck are the same person. I cant sit through 2 minutes of either of them.

People want to say something about Jerry Richardson and the Panthers in regards to Greg Hardy. I don't think you'll see too many owners break down during a speech like Jerry did here. You can tell it bothers him, which is definitely something Goodell (and Bisciotti) are lacking.

Greg Hardy excused from Carolina Panthers practice to meet with lawyer - ESPN

The Panthers (and the NFL) are right to allow the legal system to play about before coming down on Hardy. There isn't any video in this situation that shows us the facts or events. Due process should be allowed to happen and then punish the person if convicted. It needs to be done because there are a lot of false allegations put on men by women, and there are a lot that are legit. Let the legal system do its thing and then act.

NFL Network will be hosting a three hour discussion and seminar on domestic violence this evening. The seminar will be interrupted periodically with updates from a football game being played in Baltimore at the same time.

LOL. Seriously, it's way out of hand. The media is in a frenzy over this.

I'm tired of this already. I can't stand Goodell and he may be lying, but I really don't care. He's not my dad or anything. People get so bent out of shape over things that really aren't any of their business. Rice got away with hitting his wife and he got what he deserved football wise. The law messed up, so did the NFL, they'll get it right if there's a next time. But this media onslaught is ridiculous.

Really? What makes you think they will get it right the next time? There will be a next time.
I am also tired of all the people jumping on their soap box and running their mouth and being over judgmental. I think the wealthy & famous people that get away with a slap on the wrist for serious crimes is not going to end. If you are famous and rich the rules are not the same for regular folks. Ask Justin Bieber or Chris Brown.....etc. etc.
I also think the NFL culture protecting their own may not come to an immediate end with out them being embarrassed enough to create change. The change will only happen if it is made a big deal.
If you are tired of it turn it off. It is that simple.

Well, it's getting out of hand b/c (1) of the visceral response to the tape by everyone; (2) the "WTF" factor - how could this ever have been just a two game suspension; (3) Domestic abuse and violence against women is a hot button topic recently; (4) the appearance of a cover-up.

Frankly, I think, but for No. 4, this would begin to slowly die down. As someone said earlier, if it looks like your covering something up, all you do is heighten scrutiny (rightfully so in my opinion). Goodell & the Ravens screwed the pooch on this one initially and now their stories as to why they did so are looking like a pack of lies. Not good for moving on from the story.
