Yeah, I've been a Panthers fan since the beginning but my days may be numbered. He wasn't at practice today and Rivera scheduled a 3:30 press conference, so I was really hopeful they were getting their shit together to do the right thing (even if for completely self-serving reasons, given how well "wait and see"…

I feel like Mexican should leapfrog Sidney and Wild at a minimum.

From his cell at the Harnett Correctional Institution, Rae Carruth breathes a sigh of relief.

And by hoo boy, I mean 95% of the league's fan base won't give a shit, and the rest of us will post snarky comments but ultimately change nothing.

So a couple of nights ago, TMZ folks were making the rounds reporting they had legit evidence that NFL higher-ups had seen the video. Then... not a word. Now, is it possible this was just TMZ squeezing every last ounce of publicity out of this? Of course. But at this point I'm thinking it's equally possible the league…

So are you saying it was wrong of the Patriots to cut Aaron Hernandez before he was convicted? Or are you just saying that domestic violence isn't a serious enough crime to warrant the same treatment?

Fuck that. You're right that society has a domestic violence problem. But the NFL also uniquely has a domestic violence problem because of the highly public implicit claims it makes about how much domestic violence matters. This has been brought up ad nauseum, but when Josh Gordon gets 16 games for smoking weed while…

Morally, I think it's worse if they DIDN'T see the video. Consider:

I've heard a few people argue it doesn't really matter whether the league saw the video or not. I'd take it a step further. I think it's worse if they DIDN'T see the video. Consider:

I'm struggling with this too. I don't have cable. I don't go to games or buy merch. I watch NFL games on streaming sites, mostly for gambling/fantasy purposes at this point. I guess I get some moral high ground if I quit altogether, but I'm not taking a dime out of the NFL's pockets. What do I, a proverbial drop in…

It's a good question... will be interesting to see, but I think the NFLPA might be willing to step in. There are a few domestic violence cases pending around the league currently, and it seems like there are a handful every season. Goodell just unilaterally instituted the new domestic violence policy, so the NFLPA…

Oh I totally agree. This should have been the response to the first video. Having video evidence makes it much more visceral, which is probably why the public outcry was so much greater yesterday, but the facts of the case didn't change. Except for the spitting. The spitting was a new wrinkle that for some reason…

I've been seeing all over reddit and Twitter tonight that TMZ is planning to release evidence tomorrow that Goodell & Co. had seen the video. I hope that evidence is something more concrete than "our source said so." No way that's enough to oust Goodell.

What about a deadspin staff beer mile with chill ass prizes for the winners and penalties for the losers? I'll be happy to do some pre-race handicapping based on what I can extrapolate from the photo of all of you trying to hide your boners from Kaepernick.

Panthers fan since day 1. I thought it was wrong to have him out there yesterday. He should be suspended during the appellate process. Suspend him with pay if that's what the CBA requires, but he shouldn't be wearing the uniform when he's essentially admitted his guilt. Great player, big contract, don't care. Not a…

Mortensen just reported on Twitter the Ravens have terminated Rice's contract. He's done.

Especially when you factor in that this is the Browns, so kicking their punter is like kicking the QB on a real team.

Hadn't thought about it from Davis' perspective, and I do agree that's a fair point. She's had a pretty incredible month and if this tarnishes that at all for her, that sucks.

1. Samantha Gordon was 9 when she was relevant. Davis is 13. Athletes Davis' age get recruited. It's obviously rare, but Davis is a rare talent.

What about this? Say the top US team wins the LLWS, and their star player is a 13-year-old boy. Crazy talent and an absolute physical specimen, looks like he's got the tools to be an elite college and perhaps professional athlete a few years down the road. And throughout the tournament, we learn that his first love is…
