The guy who was in a fistfight with Harrison at Harrison's bar is shot with Harrison's gun near Harrison's car wash...and yet there are "no suspects" and Goodell has done nothing.Headache in a Suitcase said:reports have it that shell cassings found at the scene were fired from harrison's gun... soooo that can't be good for peyton.

Substitute "Pacman Jones" for "Harrison" in each instance in the above sentence and Goodell would have already given him a lifetime ban, taken away his pet parakeet and slapped his grandmother.
Thats exactly the point...Jones was suspended over the Vegas incident before any charges were filed against him because of a checkered past, Harrison is supposedly a good citizen (the autograph seeking kid he choked after the Pro Bowl a couple years ago might disagree), so Goodell ignores this? I mean maybe Harrison didn't fire the gun, but he has admitted to fighting the guy, and it was his gun that shot him and led to a toddler being injured...doesn't that alone warrant some league action (or at least a trade to Cincy?).phanan said:
To be fair, Jones had a long history of issues while Harrison has been a class act. That's always going to be a factor.

So what happens when Matt Walsh claims to have film of Marvin shooting the guy?

Big time double standard.
That would be a plausible argument if Goody had waited till Pacman was formally charged in the Vegas incident, but he acted on reports of his involvement...just like we have reports of Harrison's involvement here. It wasn't Pacman's gun in Vegas, but we know it was Starvin' Marvin's gun here...so culpability should be higher in this case...and if we find out Marvy was the trigger man...what's Roger gonna do?phanan said:
True, but that happens all the time, not just in the NFL. If I commit a crime with no past history vs. someone who has a checkered past, more often than not I would get some sort of a lesser sentence. That's just the way it is.

phanan said:Is anyone going to be surprised by that, though? Of course he had nothing, or else the whole thing about immunity wouldn't have even been needed.
He makes out well here. He had absolutely nothing, but got all this publicity. Watch, he'll probably write a book now.
