You realize that Thomas is an employee of the Cleveland Browns, NOT the NFL. That his bosses are the head coach of the Browns, who reports to the GM of the Browns, who reports to the owner of he Browns, who reports to NO ONE. Goodell isn't Thomas's boss, directly or indirectly.

It wasn't until the video of him dragging his unconcious wife out of the elevator was made public, then he got the indefinite suspension... Goodell saw the video and was fine with a slap on the wrist and total minimalization of the entire incident...until public outcry forced him to do something more severe. AM I RIGHT??

But since what JT said is absolutely true, it's best for Goodell to just keep his trap shut and bury the story with something juicer for the public...just like a little microcosm of all political bukkakes.

Yeah, Wilson was probably in on throwing the game...the guy who won't even **** his hot girlfriend because they aren't married and that would be a sin. Last edited by cosmo20002; 08-25-2015 at 10:50 AM.. |

I didn't want to believe it at first - I LOVE football, and the Chiefs were such a huge part of my life...but as the evidence stacked up, and I talked to a few (now former) employees in the aftermath of the Pioli housecleaning, put 2+2 together and found out that it was more than former employees' sour grapes - there's something to it. From then on, it's all been deductive reasoning, logic, and cognitive recourse that have presented me with the evidence that has been under my nose the whole time. If you're constantly wowed by the product, you aren't looking for the 'man behind the curtains,; pulling the strings', so to speak. It's called "suspension of disbelief"...and for many people, when presented with something that goes against what you believe to be true, it causes what is known as "cognitive dissonance", as you try to come up with ANYTHING you can to dispute the evidence that is directly in front of your face that the NFL is absolutely as rigged as the WWE.

I don't think it was. Calling out his owner would put him in a more accurate analogy of what you are trying for. And even then it's not always true. There are plenty of employees in plenty of companies that get leeway because of their value. To be honest, in a lot of spots, I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
Now I'm not trying to say that athletes and celebrities don't play different rules at times. I just don't think this is a good example. |

Who governs the game? Who disciplines players/coaches that break rules? Who decides where/when/who games are played? Goodell is the representative of the group of owners who are in charge. He insulted that representative and should get suspended until he makes a public apology. You want to dance around and make shit up, go ahead, it's still bullshit. employee at McDonalds insults the entire company he still getting fired I swear people will defend teh NFL players to the death. They can do whatever they want. no rules for players ... ever

Joe Thomas: 8 Years in the NFL. Never missed a single SNAP. Not a game, a SNAP. 8 Pro Bowls 5 1st team All Pros, 2 2nd team All Pros. Ranked in the top 28 top NFL players for the last three years But if he says boo about Goodell, he'd be fired. Yeah, that makes sense. Put aside his contract, and the salary cap ramifications of cutting him, and the fact that some other team would immediately snap him up anyway, in Laz's world, the Browns should cut him for saying something bad about the Commish. Only in LazLand...
