Quote:That is not info I had seen or heard. I know the NFL doesn't release that info.

 

Even with that, does someone failing a drug test of a fertility drug compare to one the the supposed leaders drinking and driving and still nothing has been done? There is precedent as well, recent too. The Denver front office personnel, and another front office guy (team slips me now) who got busted for DUI were punished pretty quickly.

 

 

I certainly am not condoning Irsay's under the influence 10 mph driving spree, nor the speed of the leagues 10 mph discipline. Just clearing up a few non-factual examples that are being used to prove some form of owner favoritism before the process is complete.
 
As in most cases, the announced punishment of Irsay may be held up on appeal, the same manner in which Mathis punishment was not made public until the appeal process was complete. We have no clue if the commissioner has, or has not doled out a penalty to Irsay. We as well don't know how long it will take before Josh Gordon, or Aldon Smith's penalties are made public. Sometime after the appeal process is complete would be my guess.
 
Let's give the commissioner the benefit of the doubt here. I can't recall too many instances that Goodell hasn't levied fines, or suspensions for players, coaches, trainers, GMs, and owners when necessary. Even though the concept of punishing owners does seem dyslexic, I believe Irsay may receive a duly coarse punishment, once the process runs its course. Maybe not the instant head on the stick you were looking for, but punishment none the less.
