I was partly wrong, he can appeal the suspension, but Goodell also hears the appeals, so it might not do any good.



Players should be self-accountable, but when you do everything you're supposed to do and try to turn your life around and then get kicked in the nuts for it, it's not right.

And, actually, that's what Goodell has been doing lately. Thurman's lawyer, and even all his teammates, say that Thurman has been obeying all of his requirements and that there was no sign that he would be reinstated.

How do you know he's done everything he was supposed to? Are you his lawyer? Are you in his posse or something? You ASSUME he's done everything he was supposed to. Again, Roger Goodell doesn't wake up one morning and decide to suspend people on a whim. He hears from the NFL investigators who have thouroughly looked into every matter Thurman was involved in.

As far as the situation in Georgia goes, just because the people dropped the charges, doesn't mean it didn't happen. With what Thurman had on the line, I'm sure those people are driving a nicer car or wearing nicer clothes now as opposed to before that happened. Again, these are things the NFL investigators check into and report back to Goodell with.
