It is already being pointed out that this is longer than Rice's suspension for knocking out his then-girlfriend

Stephen A. Smith says abused women shouldn't provoke men. 1 week. Simmons says Goodell should resign. 3 weeks. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 24, 16:35 5
- To be fair, this is Simmons' third or fourth suspension. -- nm - David Sep 24, 16:50 4

    - I think he just knows he has enough sway that he can actually speak his mind instead of just towing the company line. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 24, 16:59 2

        Without getting fired I mean. Heck, at this point Grantland could be its own thing without ESPN. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 24, 18:03

- fwiw, I would guess it wasn't speaking ill of the nfl, more espn -- haven't they been mostly against goodell about this stuff, though? - b. Sep 24, 16:35
That's an odd thing for an independent media organization to do... -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 16:20
him and Cousin Sal were really vocal in their displeasure in their last podcast -- nm - Beaker Sep 24, 16:15 1
- They really were. And even said stuff along the lines of 'come after me, I don't care. It's ridiculous." -- nm - Volnelk Sep 24, 16:32
