Sounds to me like Ryan Clark is spot on.  Goodell rushes to judgement on so many cases, but not this one?  Then he is able to lobby on behalf of Indianapolis to get a Super Bowl?  I know Goodell doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds him, but he has to do something.

 

 

“So when has having enough information been what Roger Goodell waits for to make these decisions?” Clark said on “First Take.” “When does a charge necessarily warrant the penalty? We’ve seen in so many cases, Roger Goodell be judge and jury when it comes to players,” Clark said. “So here we have Jim Irsay, a guy, an owner, who has history of substance abuse, who’s found in a car with over $29K and prescription drugs that weren’t in his name, pulled over for driving under the influence, and now we’re saying we need more information? What more information do we need than these aren’t your prescription pills? You’re obviously under the influence. You have $29k. There would be no questions asked if this was a player.”
