I also didn't say I anything about CP in particular.
This situation has been completely overblown on the national level from the very beginning, like nothing I've ever seen before. If he indeed gets 8 games, I do believe it is a reflection of that.

There have been comparisons to the Jet suspension but there are a number of differences. The main thing is, Rice is a much more known player, especially after the Super Bowl. This has caused the media to notice is more and make it a bigger deal. Hell, most everyone around here, including myself, even know about the guy on the Jet's.
Suspensions are usually due to "damage to the shield". In this case, the damage to the "shield" is much greater due to that higher exposure. I still would be surprised at more than 4 games.
