Really strange this is being released right now. Goodell was just on TV yesterday confirming him and Sue were in bed together and they are going for the stranglehold. He was not shy in the least about it. He knows he's working from a position of strength and leverage.
What does this accomplish? My only hope is that the NFLPA has some meat behind a lawsuit and although the NFL will take their chances, they might not really want to. Fingers crossed.
To me this feels like:
Parents: You're grounded for at least a month, now get to your room.
Kid: Ok, ok...how about I'm grounded for three weeks, no sleepovers for five weeks but I still get to go to the Jesse and the Rippers concert?
Parents: Get to your room.
