ROGER GOODELL LIED: Law Enforcement Source Says It Sent NFL The Ray Rice Video In April

The AP is reporting that law enforcement sent the NFL the Ray Rice video back in April. This means that Roger Goodell, who said that the league didn’t see the video until Monday morning, lied their faces off.

So what you’re telling me is that the shady commissioner of the most powerful professional sports league on the planet who makes $44 million a year is a scumbag? Color me shocked. Via the AP:

A law enforcement official says he sent a video of Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee to an NFL executive five months ago, while league executives have insisted they didn’t see the violent images until this week.

The person played The Associated Press a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number on April 9 confirming the video arrived. A female voice expresses thanks and says: “You’re right. It’s terrible.”

The law enforcement official, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, says he had no further communication with any NFL employee and can’t confirm anyone watched the video. The person said they were unauthorized to release the video but shared it unsolicited, because they wanted the NFL to have it before deciding on Rice’s punishment.

..

The league says it has no record of the video, and no one in the league office had seen it until Monday. When asked about the voicemail Wednesday, NFL officials repeated their assertion that no league official had seen the video before Monday.

The person said he sent a DVD copy of the security camera video to an NFL office and included his contact information. He asked the AP not to release the name of the NFL executive, for fear that the information would identify the law enforcement official as the source.
