Quote:Sal Pal was on ESPN and seems pretty confident a ruling will come down today and it will be in the NFL's favor.

 

I wouldn't be so sure. Someone yesterday was predicting reduction to 2, 1, or none.

 

Was there last minute drama to galvanize the case against the NFL?

(And, if he did, he could have shared his knowledge of the situation directly with Judge Berman.)"

That's one of the biggest flaws in Goodell's lack of objectivity.  There's no consistency to his investigations or rulings.  They have the appearance of being arbitrary based on public sentiment.  The tail wagging the dog.  Some investigations appear to be token in nature, just to check a box that he "looked into the situation," and other times (such as this) appear to be little more than a witch hunt after he didn't find what he wanted to find.
