On Tuesday, ESPN commentator Bill Simmons had some rather harsh words for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, with regard to the Ray Rice press conference, on his podcast, B.S. Report. In his rant, Simmons said this:
"It's such f**king bullsh*t. It really is, it's such f**king bullsh*t. For him to go on the press conference and pretend otherwise (that he didn't see the extended version of the tape and know what happened prior to the public), I was so insulted. We know you're lying... I really hope someone calls me or emails me and says I'm in trouble for anything I said about Roger Goodell because if one person says that to me, I'm going public. You leave me alone. The Commissioner is a liar and I get to say that on my podcast."
As of last night, ESPN suspended Simmons for 3 weeks...
Isn't that ironic? Initially, the NFL suspended Ray Rice for 2 games for domestic violence charges. Later reports showcased that it was quite likely that Roger Goodell and others had seen the extended version of the tape prior to suspending the former Baltimore Ravens running back. Bill Simmons calls the commissioner out on this, and winds up getting suspended for 3 weeks.
Let's break this down a bit further:
Ray Rice punches fiancee in the face: Suspended 2 weeks
Bill Simmons (likely) accurately calls out commissioner Roger Goodell for lying about the tape where Rice punched his girlfriend: Suspended 3 weeks
I guess if Simmons wanted a lesser suspension, he should have just assaulted his wife. If that's not bass ackwards, I don't know what is...
