Do you seriously believe that Goodell recused himself from the case after all of his high and mighty gesturing? No way. He was ordered to recuse himself and we all know only the owners can do that. And don't think that Benson had nothing to do with it. And I would expect that they also ordered him to "select" Paul Tagliabue as the Hearing Officer to take over in his stead.

Goodell screwed up BIG time in this whole affair and the owners are not happy about it.

Oh, yeah -- you've convinced me. He was ordered, by Benson, to recuse himself, or else.

Or else what? Well, Benson is from Louisiana after all. He probably knows a guy.

I bet he called Goodell a rat fink, too. Maybe put him in bed with a horse's head or something.

Either that or you've been watching too many mob movies.
