No I don't, however it can be seen both ways. Big Ben was obviously in places he should not have been, but if he was recognized the women could have tried to take advantage of his fame, which I would imagine was part of his appeal on suspension. Dumerville did apparently threaten someone, but at the very least was not utiilizing good judgment at all. Goodell's personal opinions and the fact that he doesn't like the league being seen as consisting of "thugs" will be against Dumerville for sure. Maybe 4 games appealled to 2? It seems most everyone acknowledges though that regardless of the legal ramifications, league ones will be enforced, but when and how much is the question?
