So there was an incident and a video. Awesome. Can't wait to see how Goodell deals with this.
2011?
Even if what they claim happened actually did, you can't go retroactively punishing guys for stuff or you're opening a huge can of worms there.
Bryant has come a long way since then and hasn't gotten in any trouble at all in the last 2 years, so that has to count for something.
My guess is that a tape will be release to someone, but Bryant won't face any real punishment for it.
I agree that's how it should go, but we all know the Commish plays by his own rules. If something starts to get a massive negative spin like this situation, he's going to respond.
With all the shit hanging over his head after this disastrous year he just had, the last thing he should be doing as acting like the judge, jury, and executioner as he had before.
My guess is he won't be so quick to be publicly condemning people as he did before, but we'll see.
Didn't Goodell get pulled off of player discipline after the Ray Rice thing? Or am I misremembering?

So who is it that is asking for money? Dez seemed to imply it was someone close.
Deadspin came out and said they will buy the video if it's out there. So far nothing legit. So it's not for a lack of buyers that it's not out yet. Makes you wonder.

Actually there is still no mention of an actual video. The incident report with the officer made no mention of a video so that means the officer probably didn't even check into video surveillance of the parking lot.
I still think this is just someone jacking Dez around but doesn't actually have the video. They would have sold it to someone by now if they had the video. Reality is they probably don't have a video and were trying to get hush money by claiming that they did. Someone like Dez may have paid that. TMZ doesn't care, they would want the actual video.
It says the NFL was already in possession of relevant evidence. That wouldn't be referring to the police report as that does nothing but confirm Dez and multiple of his cars arrived to the scene.
Word is it happened at a Walmart parking lot showing a black male dragging a female from 1 white mercedes menz registered to Dez into a black cadillac escalade also registered to Dez. Police were called but when Dez showed up with the alleged female, the cops let them go. Story has some holes and doesn't seem like much of a story to me.
That story could be as simple as Dez removing an unwanted passenger from one of his vechicles. What if the party took his Mercedes and he drove his Escalade to recover it then had to forceably removed the person from his Mercedes. That's just too vauge an account to indicate a real serious situation happened.
