Even if he gets a second chance his road is a long bumpy one and he has no shot to have the type of career if he would of had he just closed the door behind him.

And your point on the video, do you really think a multi billion dollar orginization doesnt have their own people who look into situations such as this, i find that etremely unlikely.

I did watch the video, a few times in fact. That’s how I formed my opinion.
It takes two to tango. It always has. Both displayed very poor judgement.
Hunt, most likely, will pay massively for this.
How much will the woman pay, for her lack of good decision making? Therapy to get over this traumatic situation. Hmmmm, late night at an NFL players hotel...methinks she probably isn’t a stranger to this type of lifestyle.
Nothing good ever happens after midnight!

Statement from former Chiefs’ RB Kareem Hunt to ESPN: “I want to apologize for my actions. I deeply regret what I did. I hope to move on from this.”

This whole statement sounds like he made it up to me, Hunt, not Schefter.

Hunt isn’t writing any statement. That’s his agent.
Rule #1 during Damage Control: Don’t say anything!
Rule #2 during Damage Control: Lay low and let the fires burn out.

This is why you don't go do things at 3 AM while you're drunk, guys.

It was being reported here on the radio both the NFL and the team had access to the video, my timeline may be off as to when but it was definitely before week 12 of the NFL season. Maybe it was during preseason when the owner made his comments stating the NFL would do nothing so why should he. The NFL did nothing and waited until it leaked which is preposterous, had they just suspended Hunt, or dropped him on the exempt list until the situation was resolved this wouldn't be another Ray Rice issue.

The whole thing just screams Roger Baddell incompetence

Probably not. But look at the bright side, if Crooked Tags was still in charge he would’ve done one of two things:

1) conducted some shady backroom deal to sweep it under the rug
2) ran away

They knew about Ray Rice in the elevator and did nothing till it became public. They made a pariah out of Zeke, which is still biting them in the ass. All eyes on the Reuben Foster and Kareem Hunt situations.

Zeke was a the make up call for the Rice fumble. We don’t know all the facts about the Hunt case, and what does Foster have to do with the Commissioner?

Reuben Foster is a Redskin for now but the thought is he's going to get suspended for at least a year, so he probably gets cut. If not, fans and league owners are going to think the NFL is getting too soft on what should be considered major violations. Well aware Zeke was scapegoated, also in part due to Jerry's crusade last year against Baddell.

As I’ve said numerous times, the Commissioner is hired by the owners to work for 32 bosses. He will do whatever is in their best, collective, interest.
The league prints money. The Commissioner is doing his job.
You don’t like the Commissioner but help him out by your continued support.
Maybe you should be mad at yourself?
Try to be a big picture guy and forego the knee jerk reactions/childish names...or don’t.

I've never liked Roger Goodell, always thought he was too soft on big issues like domestic violence. Aware of where his power comes from, which is why he survived Jerry's crusade against him last year.

He appreciates your continued support, and will be looking forward to that nice bonus check!

I don't buy NFL merchandise and I don't go to NFL games.

Lol, I was almost going to queue this predictable response in my previous post.
But you tune in and watch, which helps ratings which is the biggest bonus for the Commish.
Wait let me guess, you steal satellite/cable signals and bypass the ratings demographic?
Thought you had posted about buying merch way back...eh, I don’t care to search. You know yourself better than anyone else.

I...used a gift card from the official Cowboys forum to buy myself 2 jerseys and a new hat, didn't use any of my own $. Other than that, I haven't bought NFL merchandise since 2011.

I don’t believe that to be the case from reports I have read. If there is another please link me to it, I may just not have seen it. From what I’ve gathered the police and NFL both knew there was a video. The police were trying to get the video without success during the investigation. The NFL were in contact with the police regarding the situation. No charges were ever filed due to lack of evidence and alleged victim wasn’t very forthcoming.

Oh ok, but you did support the Commish in 2011....he thanks you for that!
And you continue to support the Commish in a big way by watching. Good on you.

Alex Collins was placed on injured reserve today, per Schefter. Gus Edwards about to take over that backfield.

Private, for profit colleges and to a lesser degree "non profit colleges" are the big scam. That's where the bulk of student loans go to and where the bulk of loan defaults occur. I'm talking scams like Liberty University and University of Phoenix. Default rate for students who attended a for profit college is 43%, versus just 10% for public university students.

Public universities are largely worth every penny for most students. It sure as hell was for me. High paying blue collar jobs, like manufacturing have become zombie industries in the U.S., increasingly outsourced and/or automated. Unless you're really good at sales or specific trades college education is almost a requirement unless you want a McDonald's job. Even trades often require some college.
