Also, Ray Rice's suspension was overturned, as was Adrian Peterson's. So yeah, your knowledge of the NFL is really quite fragile. And no, this isn't a defense, it's more about Goodell and their Lawyers inability to adhere to the CBA and Labor Law (which is why they retooled the domestic abuse and PED's penalties shortly after getting destroyed in court). It's not about defending bountygate either, it's acknowledging the fact that the NFL abused it's authority. This case was only a shining example of how stupid Goodell and his cronies are. They had every opportunity to accept a 1 game settlement out of Brady, and they lost, because they're idiots and couldn't read the tea leaves.
As far as guilt? lol, most legal analysts who've viewed the Wells Report, the Wells Report in Context and the AEI Analysis see the NFL using adverse inferences wherever possible to come to a conclusion of 'more probable than not'. To say nothing of how badly the appeals transcripts damaged Goodell's credibility, but I'm sure you haven't read that either. It'd be tossed out of court without even a trial. That really should tell you something, but it does require a measure of impartiality, which is clear you are not viewing this case through.
Yeah, I'm a Pats fan, but, I'm certainly not above admitting someone broke the rules...if in fact the evidence is there to support it. The NFL's shit show, was evidence of nothing but their own incompetence.
So, any more claims I can demolish in a 3 second search on google?

In his defense he did claim to not really watch it any more. Maybe he missed Bountygate and all these other suspensions.

Yeah, Bountygate was the first example I came up with, the AP/RR cases were just more examples. His response was hilarious though:
"so you're lumping him in with Ray Rice, the saints, and AP? Works for me!"
As if that's the point that was being made, and not that he wasn't aware of any other player who took a suspension this far lol.
