Gestapo Goodell strikes again: what it means

I think that this situation was greatly over blown and I would also venture to say that if Pacman played for another team and this incident had happened in another town, that it would not have rececied much if any attention. I think that the media in Dallas is sensationalistic and completely blew this up. I mean if you remember the first stories that were put out, they were all wrong. Once the actual details came out a couple days later, everything was different, but the damage was already done.

I don’t want anyone to take me wrong. I don’t feel sorry for Pacman, but I think Goodell is severely overstepping his authority and seems to be taking things to another level. No arrest, no conviction, and Pacman’s name wasn’t even mentioned in the police report. Doesn’t require much evidence I guess.

Do not make excuses for Pacman. This is supposed to be his last chance. His LAST CHANCE.

Cut him. Wash your hands of him.

with those there to protect him after being warnedanymore instances will result in a lifetime ban, gets a chance to play again and you compare Goodell to one of the most sadistic organizations of the 20th century???

I’m speechless

but for Pacman, any little thing is a big deal. Jerry knew this was the risk going into it, and Pacman has no one to blame but himself.

Good thing M-Jenk and O-Scan are looking pretty good.

He’s basically become a dictator in handing down these punishments. There is NO proportionality, NO standards, NO reasons given. “Gestapo” is a bit much, but he has taken things much further than Tags ever would have. Maybe that’s good, maybe that’s bad, but in my opinion, with no rules, there is no legitimacy (especially after the egregious handling of spygate, inconsistent suspensions for players and coaches, etc.)

That said, Goodell had another legitimacy crisis here, and I think he had to do something. He told Pacman he would have a zero tolerance policy, and he had to back it up. I didn’t realize all of the alcohol-related incident stuff when I first read about this. A 4 game suspension is probably generous, but I must say, I have serious doubts as to whether Pacman can make it through the next 4 weeks trouble-free.

how much more does there need to be!

If I was Goodell I would have banned him for life, he’s lucky and got off easy IMO.

He KNEW he was on his last straw.

He KNEW we needed him with T-New out for a month.

Da King even warned him a week prior to keep a low profile.

But guess what? He went ahead and violated his probation anyway.

Sorry fellas, that’s on P. Jones.

Play bend by don’t break defense.. We are going to have to get creative and put pressure on QB’s. I am done talking about ____________,..

Jerry made that happen because he knows they’re going to suck the next four games anyway until everyone gets healthy. That way Goodell could still save face, and Jerry got his 6 back from TEN so he could send it over in the RW deal.
