Oh I've posted the list a couple times in various threads.
Bottom line is that the
actual precedent for this kind of thing is 1 game, 2 games tops.
And the league with all its butt-****ery will probably give Rice 4 because...Reasons. Hunt will take it and both Rice and his attorneys will contritely claim they've grown and matured from the experience and the world will keep turning.
But even 4 doesn't have an established basis. Just Goodell dropping the bomb on his good soldier owner Clark.
I still wonder if his willingness to eat shit on stuff like this is what got him the gig as head of the finance committee. I just can't understand why a now established owner from a respected NFL family constantly gets whacked around like a red-headed step-child by the league. And just does it with a smile on his face.
