It just fucking sucks that this guy of all people is effectively punished with a short timeout.

I disagree with you wholeheartedly. The kid said AP put leaves in his mouth. Look at the photos (seven days later). Don't tell me that this is typical southern black household, that's an insult to country people and to black people.

So, Barkley is rationalizing this by explaining that social practices he saw in the south 50 years ago should be used in figuring out whether something is acceptable today? That might get awful in a hurry.

can't wait to hear all my friends say "what's the big deal my dad abused me and I'm better for it" while they pop pills and smoke pot all day... it's always so fun

It's hard to believe he's still in college. Those are the motor skills and timing of someone who has been playing for years.

Okay you folks of the she started it persuasion, also the it's their business not our's school of thought, and jump on board ye of the group known as I met him and he's such a nice guy experience. Gather round all of you 27's and supporters of the same and answer silly old me one question. What was that going on after…

That's under the 'Donte' Stallworth' section.

Wait, the headline changed. This is your first amendment right?

I bought that foot on-demand thing for when there are blackouts or shoes. No ads either.

To be fair, nobody can understand Saints fans, so please give America a pass.

Once the NFL owners believe their statutory anti-trust exemption is at risk, they will throw Goodell to the lions. The NFL's anti-trust exemption is their biggest asset, and Congress, having granted the exemption, has the ability to take it away. And if Congress believes the NFL is using its anti-trust free…

One owner told Peter King that Goodell has been great for the game of football.

Also, it's good with the press.

I'm going to withhold judgment until Coach Dungy tells me it's too much of a distraction.

"Information obtained outside of law enforcement that has not been tested by prosecutors or by the court system is not necessarily a reliable basis for imposing league discipline" which would explain why the leaked TMZ tape was the sole basis for the suspension.

"We did not ask the Atlantic City casino directly for the video,"

I'm not even going to try to transcribe what is said here

Uh, what? Handling this stuff and not making the NFL look bad is literally his job. Why exactly would firing him for failing to do that be ridiculous?

Except what the lady specifically called for was Goodell's ouster because he mishandled the NFL's domestic violence issues specifically. He's calling her crazy for saying that someone who has gone on CBS and admitted that he is an incompetent dipshit should be fired.
