Graham: League correct in not reducing suspension
Some Bills fans were certain Goodell would reduce the suspension by at least one game because of the precedent set forth with Brandon Marshall prior to last season.
The problem with that theory is that the reduction backfired. Goodell tried to be merciful, but apparently no lesson was learned. Marshall was arrested March 1 in Atlanta for disorderly conduct stemming from a physical altercation with his fiancee. It was Marshall's fourth arrest since March 2006.

I am OK with the suspension ultimately, but Graham’s argument that it was consistent is pretty illogical. If Goodell denied the appeal because he recognized that his leniency on Marshall back-fired, then why didn’t he suspend Marshall for the disorderly conduct incident? He already ruled that Marshall would not be suspended for that, so…consistent? I think not.
