And yes, this is a banner year for irony in the NFL. Starting mid-season you fine guys like crazy for hits that, while illegal, happen in the context of the game, but you basically slap Johnson and Finnegan on the wrist for an out and out fist fight on the field. On top of all that you say that the increased fines are an attempt to make the game safer for players but then you start pushing an 18 game season down everyone' throats. Seriously, Goodell is a total idiot IMO.

No way would the NFL suspend Johnson cause he was going to be playing on the NFL Network game tonight. He was trying to do some serious damage with those punches. You're correct. Goodell is a idiot.
