Goodell will still make him sit for the opener.

Still need to see if Roger suspends him or not.

Hopefully this helps Shady's case.

A violent altercation occurred and McCoy was present. Even if McCoy didn't do anything wrong it still brought negative attention to the league so Goodell is going to make him pay for that.

I have to agree - there is no evidence (as of right now) that McCoy instigated, or was even really involved in, the fight. I have to say im not surprised. Many rumors of the officers being highly intoxicated, a former Eagles player in a bar with them in Philly...I have to say I am not surprised with this outcome.

Of COURSE this was announced today. Most of Philadelphia is only thinking about Nova being in the finals tonight...

Has Goodell ever punished players for crimes when the charges were completely dropped? Not just pleading down to a lesser charge or paying off your accuser, but when the prosecution completely drops the case?

Ben Roethlisberger sat six games over the incident in a Georgia bathroom, but he was never formally charged.

He won't be suspended. Ill bet money on it.

If this report is true, he definitely shouldn't be suspended.

If that's accurate, he did nothing wrong.

I can see goodell going either way. one, he's gun shy from the brady fight or 2, he wants to assert his authority, especially after he gives the pats their pic back and makes a couple ridiculous player suspension calls.

Good point, I forgot about that.

I'm pretty sure that Nigel Bradham's marijuana possession arrest resulted in all charges eventually being dropped, but he still got suspended for a game 14 months after the arrest. I think some other players like Pacman Jones have gotten suspended just based on reputation of being a repeat offender without actually being charged with anything.

The fact that this incident involved violence is bad for McCoy. Goodell took a ton of heat for not being tougher on players committing violent acts, so I think he's more likely to lean towards suspension whether it's fair or not.

wonder if the cops will be suspended
