Goodell has no doubt been a moral calamity in all three of these high-profile domestic violence cases, but the owners have arguably been even worse. With Rice, the Ravens issued a statement in which four important members of the organization said they knew that Rice had hit his wife in the head with his hand and left her unconscious, but they thought it was an open hand rather than a fist.

Hurley’s Picks: Soaking In The Historical Sweetness Of Tom Brady-Drew Brees Matchup
