I'll get to the Goodell presser in a moment, but here's one which probably went under all the radars.
The Ravens have massively aided in the cover-up of the Rice incident from the night of February 15, 2014, when the punch-out happened.
Outside the Lines has investigated, and found that, the night of the incident, the Director of Security of the Ravens actually spoke with some of the security at the hotel -- one of whom identified himself as a Ravens fan.
This was the beginning of a systematic pattern which all but proves Keith Olbermann's rant from about ten days ago or so: Complete cover-up by the Ravens and the NFL, complicity on all other relevant parties.
The team president (Dick Cass) and GM (Ozzie Newsome) knew and tried to downplay the incident, praying for leniency on all fronts -- criminal and NFL.
The NFL was nowhere near insistent enough on evidence collection, up to and including that infamous interview with Janay with league officials, the NFL officials, and the same team officials complicit in the cover-up present.
You really need to read this if you want an understanding of how far the fraud -- both on the field and off -- goes. This is probably the most comprehensive view of the "fixers" of the league and how they "fix" "problems" which might prevent maximum entertainment and manipulation of and through the contests that most people still have no problem seeing every Thursday, Sunday, and Monday.
This, even though a majority of those polled do understand that the amount of this conduct has reached epidemic proportions.
This is probably the first real comprehensive timeline as to how the NFL would've been able to successfully "fix" this "problem" had it not been for Harvey Levin and TMZ.
Just read this -- if you have an open enough mind to understand how far this has gone.
EDIT TO ADD: ... not to mention, as my anonymous friend points out, that this is most certainly a violation of state and probably Federal law. And, if Federal, probably talking RICO here.
