Deflategate: Roger Goodell Went Too Far, Still Isn't Done

We're approaching peak Goodell.

Let's be blunt. Roger Goodell is being too much Roger Goodell, and it's worrisome.

The pendulum swings between unnecessary leniency (see: suspending Ray Rice for 2 games for assaulting his fiancee) and overkill (see: Bountygate). There's no knowing how Roger Goodell will respond to any situation because he doesn't respond based on his own assessment of a situation. There's no organic response to stimuli with the Commish. Every possible response must be tested and gauged to see where it falls on a scale of acceptability among all parties. Common sense need not apply.
