    Bill Simmons suspended 3 weeks...
    ...for speaking the truth about Roger Goodell

    Ray Lewis was suspended 2 weeks for knocking out his fiancee.

    That is all.

          That's what I get for reading an article about Ray Lewis discussing how the NFL covers things up right before I read the Simmons one.

          Ray RICE.

              “Goodell, if he didn’t know what was on that tape, he’s a liar. I’m just saying it. He is lying. If you put him up on a lie detector test, that guy would fail. For all these people to pretend they didn’t know is such [expletive] [expletive]. It really is, it’s such [expletive] [expletive]. For him to go into that press conference and pretend otherwise — I was so insulted.”

              A number of ESPN personalities, from SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm to NFL analyst Cris Carter, have shared their own powerful views on the state of the NFL over the last three weeks. Mark Schlereth nearly broke down in tears discuss

                      I see now.

                      I like how they "punish" there own for publicity. Better Homes and Gardens just suspended an editor for a month because he doesn't like lillys. WGaF. Right up there with the stupid ESPY's. Circle jerk central.

                            He is 100% right, they are insulting our intelligence. Good for him for speaking out, he had to know he'd be suspended though.

                              I don't think he got suspended for calling Goodell a liar even though ESPN will say that's why. We all probably think Goodell is lying but Simmons came out and dared ESPN. You can't go out and publicly dare your employer. Of course ESPN had to suspend him.

                                  Who is worth more money to espn...Simmons or NFL?

                                  When they sign your checks and finance your brand you better check the fine print. His hits to Grantland will go up so espn wins both ways. Assholes.

                                              Hopefully Simmons can channel his inner McBain.

                                                  isn't he the one who talks like he's overdosed on sleeping pills during nba telecasts?

                                                  im betting this was the first time he's actually been awake.

                                                          Sports media needs more guys with an actual set of nuts....This whole Goodell/Rice shit is stunning to me.....Never seen a case where the over whelming public majority simply will not buy the bull shit that continues to be force fed down our throats.....Usually the general population are sheep about it all, but not this time

                                                          Goodell will never recover even if he keeps his job

                                                            i hope Lions wins it all this year and the fans burn the place to the ground

                                                            Goodell will be out and poster Smoke will be mayor of New Detroit City
