Bill Simmons got suspended by ESPN for 3 weeks for calling Goddell a liar... heh @ it being longer than Rice's original punishment.

Further proof that when it comes to the NFL, $$$ talks.

Seriously. Bill said he was going to "go public" if he was suspended, I'm waiting to see what that entails.

I came here to make that very comment. An interesting wrinkle in all of this is that Simmons has recently developed a pet irritation to what he terms the "moral majority" of Twitter et al, though how much this was just contrarianism for the sake of constrarianism is anyone's guess. His own Grantland pieces have had comments disabled for a long time, about a month ago comments were disabled throughout the site. Simmons is of course famous for his mailbag pieces where reader comments (that he selects) play a large part, and now it looks like a groundswell of reader support could have a significant impact on this (utterly absurd) suspension. It's an interesting power dynamic, and I wonder if he'll revise his thoughts should the support have tangible results in his favor.

That scenario just now in the Giants/Redskins game...the Redskins receiver quite apparently put his head down to charge, and the defenders got penalized for it. I can't imagine anyone watching the replay could see any malicious intent on the part of the defenders...yet they were penalized. WTF.
