I was as surprised as anyone that Tyreek wasn't suspended, but I wasn't in the room for 8.5 hours. I don't know enough about Reed to know if 6 games is too harsh. I just wish people were more comfortable saying, "I don't know, so therefore I'll trust the people who do."

Everybody demands transparency these days, too. Yeah, it'd be nice if the full truth was always available, but sometimes it's just not, and then people get outraged if they can't view the full play-by-play and critique every step of the process.
Even Mike Florio. The guy has OBVIOUSLY invested a lot of his time into observing the events unfold in this Tyreek Hill situation. Yet he goes, "Ummm excuse me, Goodell! You missed something! Tyreek threatened Crystal on the recording!!"
No, they didn't miss something. They knew it was there, and in the hours of investigation they completed in which they obtained information that Florio nor any of the public is privy to, they determined that comment was not a physical threat. They didn't twirl their mustaches and go, "Curse that Mike Florio for sharing the truth with everybody! But how do we proceed with our evil plan to make sure peoples' fantasy teams don't have to suffer without Tyreek Hill for any stretch of the season????"
