For about six hours, it felt like a same-old, same-old, "NFL gets it wrong again" kind of day. Another ugly Friday for a league that never can seem to get out of its own way when it comes to investigating bad off-field behavior by its players. A video surfaced of a star player in a physical altercation with a woman, hours went by, and the league put the player on the commissioner's exempt list -- a nebulous move that barely resonates with a public that doesn't fully understand what it even means.
Then the Chiefs announced they were releasing Kareem Hunt.
