Certainly didn't take long:

49ers' Ray McDonald in jail on domestic violence charge

It's put up or shut up time now...

It begins.

Wonder if Goodell will take the "We'll wait until the court case plays out" approach, or act unilaterally right now.

I'm almost certain it'll be the second choice, because the wait-and-see approach would draw scrutiny from the media - and if there's one thing Roger Goodell does, it's act without thinking to put on a show any time the media is on his case. You can practically set your watch by it.

I wonder whether this will be the one he gets wrong ... pressure's on you, Roj, don't fuck it up!

You can't make this stuff up

Somebody on tv said the 49ers were going 8-8. They might run out of players before Week #10.

They should sign Michael Sam. At least if he hits someone, it won't be a woman.

Well, he's going to have to come down harder than his 6 game for a first offense. The woman is pregnant which Goodell said would be punished more severe in his letter to the owners some days ago. (Actually pregnant women & where children are involved)

Effective immediately, violations of the Personal Conduct Policy regarding assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault that involve physical force will be subject to a suspension without pay of six games for a first offense, with consideration given to mitigating factors, as well as a longer suspension when circumstances warrant. Among the circumstances that would merit a more severe penalty would be a prior incident before joining the NFL, or violence involving a weapon, choking, repeated striking, or when the act is committed against a pregnant woman or in the presence of a child.
A second offense will result in banishment from the NFL; while an individual may petition for reinstatement after one year, there will be no presumption or assurance that the petition will be granted. These disciplinary standards will apply to all NFL personnel.
