with all the enemies goodell has made, the players could use this to demand some action and open a move against him. i know there have been a few players requesting that the owners meet to investigate, but this could be their chance to crucify him. it looks really bad now that the video has come out and if they can link that video to the nfl office, heads will roll.
So does goodell start to get the squeeze on the ray rice fiasco?

I would say no. As long as Goodell continues to do what he has done up to this point to grow revenue for the owners, I don't see them pushing him out. It's money over morals in the NFL.
I had a couple sentences typed out to back that up, but my iPad locked up on me losing what I had typed up and I'm too lazy to retype.

I hope he is. Is there a rule at an ex player being commissioner or is that what the players association is for? It would seem like someone with former ties would make a better fit and be better overall for the league.
He's worked for the NFL since the early 80's. Doesn't seem like it though with some of his decisions
Condoleeza Rice would make a great commissioner. She grew up in the South (actually played football with her brothers in the backyard as a kid), knows and loves football, has been an administrator before, and would make a good face for the NFL.
That, and make Jerry Jones say something racist, so he'll sell the team to Roger Staubach. Staubach is only worth $600 million, but I'm sure that between his Naval Academy connections, Cowboy connections, and good old fashioned Texas oil money, he can scrounge up a consortium with him being the head. Staubach as the face of the franchise is MUCH better than that old Arkansas inbred hillbilly.

You mean after she finishes making sandwiches**
She has publicly stated being the NFL Commissioner would be her dream job.

I don't understand why the tape matters. We knew what happened before the tape came out. She walked onto the elevator and was dragged out.
it matters because it leaves nothing to the imagination. i agree on your premise that it shouldnt matter, but hearing about the kennedy assassination and seeing the zapruder film evoke different emotions of sadness vs brutality. same deal here, its just more evidence and shockingly violent evidence at that. ray's story to the nfl was that he did it in self defense. clearly, it was much more than that. all that said, i agree that enough was known without the elevator film.
the vice is tightening. reports coming out that the NFL office has seen the video...and there is a voicemail message....the plot thickens. i think goodell is done. its getting worse rather than better.
casino security also stated that the video has been seen by an NFL "executive"

Goodell woud have been better off sticking to the original suspension. By changing the suspension he's admitting that the evidence shows his initial suspension was wrong. That works if evidence changed, but not if the evidence remains the same and is just now public.
