Anyone else really impressed with the way this guy has started out as NFL commissioner?

With the suspension of players, the meeting about a conduct policy, and now this.

He wants to shorten the amount of time that teams have to draft players after the longest first round in history this past draft.

A bit more information coming too light. Basically that points to a perversion of the truth on the Rice case and a big misdirection of information. In other words, the Ravens ownership, front office, hell - maybe the coaches, might be saying bye bye.

Haven't seen it, but from what I have seen he's one of the few not trying to sugar-coat it now with misinfo.
His crime seems to be lobbying for his player -- I'm kind of split on that. On some level, you expect the team to have their players' back and play the role of a defense attorney. On the other hand, Harbaugh's opinion should have carried forward and cut him when it happened.

Ozzie was a childhood hero for me along with Metcalf and Bernie, so I'll admit I'm biased... and always found it hard to accept how successful he's been over there.
Metcalf seems to be the only one that's remained clean.

Wow. What a cluster. The coach suggests MONTHS ago that they cut the player. Owner gives coach the finger and keeps the guy. They end up cutting the guy anyway and then try to offer the guy a job.

I am so waiting on the 60 minutes interview with Rice that I see coming in the future, LOL

But after Ravens offensive lineman Jah Reid was arrested March 8 in Key West, Florida, and charged with two counts of battery for his role in a bar fight, Harbaugh, according to several sources, again went to Newsome and advocated that the three Ravens players arrested in the offseason -- Rice, Reid and wide receiver Deonte Thompson -- be released.

Newsome, according to what Rice was told, bristled at the recommendation, saying he was the decision-maker in the matter, not Harbaugh, and he believed in second chances. Newsome believed if the team had weathered the controversy in 2000 when All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis was charged in a double homicide after a Super Bowl party in Atlanta, and had endured the criticism after running back Jamal Lewis' guilty plea to cocaine trafficking in 2004, it could certainly weather the controversy surrounding this trio of arrests, too.

Not only are they telling us that Ray Rice lied, but they're saying that Harbaugh is a liar as well.
