Just a couple things since you brought up football. A couple things about the NFL. You know, Goodell had his press conference on Friday, and do you know what we learned, by the way? We learned that the sports Drive-Bys know how to conduct a press conference. The news guys have forgotten how, since Obama became president. The sports guys know how to do it.
The sports guys want Goodell's scalp. I'm telling you, it's amazing. I have been listening to some of these sports guys. I have been reading some of these sports Drive-Bys. Even some of the former players. They want this guy canned. They want Goodell gone. It is amazing to hear. It is so knee-jerk. Some of it's filled with literal hatred for the guy, and they are not gonna stop until they get the guy gone.
I don't think he's gonna go anywhere. The league is making too much money. Anyway, I'll get into the details of that in a second, but they did a press conference on Friday. The way press conferences of presidents used to be. Here's a guy in authority, in power, and these sports Drive-Bys hit him with every hypocritical thing he's said. They hit him with everything they think is a lie.
They tried to trip him up every which way from Sunday, and it was not a good performance for Goodell. I'm watching this and I said, "You know, we haven't seen one of these since George W. Bush was president." Well, we haven't. We have forgotten what a genuine media press conference, White House press conference used to look like. Now they are just fawning, bootlicking sessions.

With a 40 million dollar a year salary, I could be convinced to take a package to leave. It would be a little pricey be doable.
He didn't have to -- he knocked her out with ONE punch. Boxers don't throw punches after their opponent is on the canvas, either.
Seriously, threatening her while she cowered in the corner is worse than rendering her unconscious?
But it is a textbook operation. If some of us here could coordinate a campaign like this, Joe Biden would already be president (assuming that's a good thing).
No I didnt say threatening her is worse than hitting her. I said there was a fight and one quick punch. He did not do any of those additional things which would have made it worse. I ALREADY knew he punched her and knocked her out. Do you understand that he could have been “abusing” her in about a hundred additional ways besides the fact he hit her one time? The video had no additional information yet everyone acted as though the video is what made it worse.
I said clearly he committed a crime. I doubt he had much remorse, just my guess. Do I think he hit her any other times? Hmm well since she advanced across the elevator at him I’d say she did not expect to be hit. Again, just a guess.
Interesting, isn’t it that I had first heard it was a female prosecutor. But the stories all identify a male prosecutor. Then at the bottom of one story they recount a female prosecutor who said she felt she could have gotten a conviction without the wife’s cooperation.
They also say they went lenient on him because he does a lot of charity work and they had 30 impassioned letters from charities saying he is the greatest guy in the world.
I think everything about this case and its treatment is divorced from reality.
Once in bed with the ideologues of the left where is there to go but down? -

No pity from me for Roger.
ESPN said Friday that the 3rd degree felony aggravated assault charge that the grand jury indicted Rice on could’ve led to a prison sentence of up to 5 years.
The prosecutor lied about that.
Logically any sane person would assume that a vicious physical assault against anyone in any state can lead to serious jail time. How could the laws not provide for that?
In fact the MINIMUM sentence for what Rice was indicted for was 3 YEARS. The max is 5 years. This was all reported back in March.

And as far as needing the victim’s cooperation, they had the freaking thing on video! Total baloney from the prosecutor.
