To be fair, it's at least plausible the NFL higher-ups made an intentional decision to only have a description of the video's contents relayed to them so they could later claim they never saw it. Not that that's going to do anything for them in the court of public opinion.

The NFL, which possesses a security apparatus that is staffed by former federal agents, would have you believe that it couldn't get its hands on a video that was reportedly being shared among NFL players like a World Star clip.

Normally—and especially now—I take Schefter with a grain of salt. He's a shill, albeit a very highly paid one. This though...I'm not saying his motive couldn't be that he's covering his own ass after he made himself look like a complete clown with the "was Goodell lenient enough?" comment, but I'm inclined to…

That's the thing I don't get. Say the NFL was pissed enough to go nuclear. ESPN is a monopoly and FS1 isn't changing that, so it's still the WWL, and controls the NFL's narrative. The NFL...well they could take MNF away. Horrors. Or, keep ESPN from any scoop ever...further enraging a multi-billion dollar PR firm over…

Serious question: Is anyone else getting the feeling that ESPN is starting to be of the opinion "given the money we pay the NFL, we're not the monkey who dances when we're told to — you are, Roger and company"? They've been awfully aggressive with this story....

I'm actually more angry at the Vikings than the NFL. They're the ones who employ AP. The Vikings have a history of releasing or suspending players with any kind of serious criminal charges. Not convictions. Charges. But when it's the franchise guy, everything changes. It's easy to have principles when you can…

Roger Goodell is following the American corporate "cultural tradition" of barricading himself in his office and having minions answer for his mistakes until the shitstorm blows over.

Jeez, Roger, does it take that long to compose a letter of resignation?

I think the part that's even worse for me in this whole thing is that these kids aren't living with Peterson full-time, or even the majority of the time. They're visiting for small stretches of time, during which they're being beaten. This hits the exact point Drew is making; these punishments are likely the…

The Humane Society advises against using choke chains.

When people say "it worked," it didn't. Just because you whacked your 4-year old when he pissed on the wall, doesn't mean that he hit the bowl next time because you hit him. It means he's 4 years old and he thinks his dick makes a mean firehose. You can laugh (because he's 4 years old and that's one of themany funny…

Pretty sure he makes his living, writing adult material for adults. Get over yourself.

More than half of America and definitely more than half of the world think you're dead wrong when it comes to slavery. It's sad you're so unaware of how arrogant you look by proclaiming all slavery is bad and does not work, because you have "studies" to back your claim. Sorry, you're convincing NOBODY with your…

Being funny, and occasionally serious. The nerve of this guy. And this article is funny AND serious! Who does he think he is !?

Half the world thinks evolution is a myth. Many people can be very wrong.

That's the thing about those "studies," though: they aren't opinions.
