The problem I have with this whole thing are the words "it is more probable than not." If your boss said to you you are being fired because, it is more probable than not you did something wrong on the job? Would you just go with it?. How about we are going put your kids under child protection because it is more probable than not you are an abusive parent. OK with that? How many of you would hand over your cell phone w/o a legal warrant to look for anything they could use against you.
I say the comish. must go.
You make a couple of good points with the abusive parent/job analogies. However, with the cell phone, the case against Brady isn't a legal matter, so there would be no warrants and he isn't required to turn his phone over. If this were a legal case, the NFL would already have the warrant, the phone would have already been turned over and Brady would have been suspended for a year or more.
Because he doesn't technically have to turn his phone over during the investigation, he just adds to how guilty he looks by not doing so. If he has nothing to hide, than just turn it over.
As for the commish - he is being judged on a lot of things that have had a large amount of opinion influenced by the public. The Rice issue was about as bad as it gets, but no one will ever know if he saw that initial tape. In a world where TMZ has the dirt on everyone about 10 seconds after it happens, the fact that they didn't air anything immediately, shows me Goddell may be telling the truth, at worst, it is more probable than not that he didn't see it. And than the rash of domestic abuse cases that began popping up. If he didn't act on them, than he is criticized as much or more than when does act.
You can make some of the people happy some of the time, but you can't make all the people happy all the time. Stop breaking rules and committing crimes and than you don't need to be judged by the commish.
Remember when Bud Selig was the worst commish ever and had to go after allowing an All Star Game to end in a tie?
