You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
A little something called the NFL beat down.
Wednesday’s breaking news was decisive and stunning, like an ice pick in the eye.
Good morning sports fans, a little battery acid with your Starbucks?
The news heard around the world yesterday was the dagger blow to the heart that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell struck against the New Orleans Saints.
THUD!
That’s the sound of the Saints collective head being lopped off.
Everyone expected the punishment to be harsh, this is criminal.
It’s a street mugging. It’s a battery in a sock- whack to the melon. It’s like turning Jason Bourne loose on your granmother.
Goodell went Freakin off!
In case you don’t know what’s happening,the Saints were accused of putting bounty’s on players, trying to hurt them, knock them out of the game.
The commish felt he was lied to and he went all Joe Pesci on their ass.
The penalty was crazy. It was unprecedented. Head Coach Sean Peyton was suspended for the entire year without pay. Without pay! That’s like a 6 – 8 million dollar hit. Ouch. This has never happened before in the history of the leeg.
If that didn’t send a message, then this did: Former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely. Indefinitely!
The commish said you all F with the commish, the commish will F with you.
BOO YA!
Getting suspended indefinitely. This is like the teacher putting the bad kid in the hall. Then the hall monitor sending the kid to the prinicpals office. Then the principal sending the kid home. Then the school superintendent telling the kid he never liked him anyway so he should move to another school system. And finally that kid’s daddy putting him up for adoption in a Chinese Orphanage.
Man that’s harsh.
“Clearly we were lied to,” Goodell said knowing that he is judge jury and executioner . “we were told it was not happening. it happened for 2 more years. we got credible evidence and we identified significant information from multiple sources this was going on.”
This was the NFL version of the Spanish Inquisition. This was the black knight riding into your village and setting your hut on fire. This was a motorcycle gang from East L.A. tieing their colors on your mailbox and daring you not to wet your pants.
The Saints took their medicine and cried like little school girls, issuing a public apology to their fans to the NFL and the leauge: “we off our our sincere apology and take full responsibility for these serious violations.”
Commentators sat on the set jaws agape.
“Unprecedented”
“severe”
The NFL network equated Goodell to the hammer and the saints were the head of the nail.
the NFL is a lot of things. It is America’s favorite game. It is a billion dollar industry. And now it is clear it is a dictatorship that makes Moamar Khadafi look benign.
and that is crazy.™
