At a three-hour meeting on Sept. 23, former Chicago Bears star Mike Singletary slapped his hand on the NFL shield in the middle of Mr. Goodell's conference table and said: "Why isn't anyone eating this pizza? Can I have some of this pizza?"

Yeah what a waste of time. What the hell do they think they are, culturally relevant?

Too many variables, I think. You would need to point to the specific game(s) Donaldson took off, look at their outcome, and show exactly where Donaldson could have been a factor.
