Quote:One of the big issues to me is the length of time between it happening and when some sort of action is taken. No clue what the punishment should be, but it should not take this long. It's pushing two and a half months. The league hit Mathis in what, a week, less then that ?

 

They should have delivered something rather quickly to a figure with such influence in the league.

 

quick edit: Regarding the Mathis situation (again), he took fertility drugs. Irsay endangered the lives of hundreds if not more yet Mathis has already been given a punishment.

 

Goodell was probably waiting to find out what Irsay was being charged with. You, apparently, would have applied penalties without knowing the legal charges. That makes little sense.

 

Goodell has waited to find out what someone is being charged with before. Other times he didn't see the need. Now that Irsay is not being charged with a felony (and I'm waiting for someone to accuse Goodell of controlling the legal system in Indiana) I assume Goodell will soon come up with some form of punishment.

 

I still don't see a reason to be perturbed with the amount of time this has taken. Are you upset with the amount of time he's taken regarding Ray Rice?

 

The Mathis case has nothing to do with the Irsay case. Apples and oranges.
