Goodell has taken forever to act on this. Irsay is hardly a virgin for such events. If he was a player, he'd be suspended already. NFLPA Director DeMaurice Smith is 100% correct to be outraged.
Josh Gordon got suspended for a year for a second pot infraction. Mathis got six games for taking a fertility drug to get his wife pregnant and she did get pregnant during that period.
Irsay has had other problems in the past. For Goodell to have any credibility Irsay should be suspended for a year, but that's not any real hit to his pocketbook. If Josh Gordon can lose all of his pay for a year for smoking pot twice, Irsay should have the same penalty. He should lose all NFL TV and shared revenues for the year.
I think he should also lose at least a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick.
