A subject header of "More NFL BS" I now realize is so elastic as to invite infinite contributions. I hesitate to continue piling on, but add here for the record a nice summary of the BS inherent in the announcement last night of former FBI Director Robert Mueller to conduct an "independent" investigation of the NFL's handling of Ray Rice's violent behavior.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/09/11/how-independent-will-robert-mueller-be/ Muller is a senior partner at WilmerHale, the law firm that handled the most recent multi-billion dollar contract between the NFL and DirecTV, has represented Dan Snyder, the owner of the NFL team in Washington DC, and from which several attorneys have gone on to high placed jobs in the NFL, including Dick Cass, who worked at WilmerHale for 30 years before assuming his current position as.....wait for it....president of the Baltimore Ravens. and Muller's supposedly independent investigation will be overseen by two of the oldest NFL families - Mara (Giants) and Rooney (Steelers). Unless they have already decided to hang Goodell out to dry, and wants to show its most die hard supporters that even those sucking at the NFL teat have concluded Goodell must be fired, this is shockingly cynical and disgraceful, even for a corporation with the pockmarked moral culture of the National Football League. Literally nothing Muller says in any final report that is positive about Goodell or the NFL can be taken seriously. They have guaranteed before it starts that this will be a complete and total waste of time, and merely confirm that assumption that the NFL is a cynical and exploitative organization only concerned with its own profits and covering its own ass - again, unless the owners know they are in real trouble, and are just trying to lay the groundwork for firing Goodell. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
