The media can barely contain themselves because Goodell claimed he was wrong, and there\u2019s nothing &#8212; nothing &#8212; that makes the media more orgasmic than when a powerful figure admits he made a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Well, they don\u2019t get excited when Obama admits he made a mistake.  A, that doesn\u2019t happen.  B, they wouldn\u2019t want him to make that kind of admission.  For everybody else, it\u2019s big, and what Goodell said is (summarized), &#8220;You know what? I heard. I\u2019ve been listening and I hear you, and a two-game suspension for Ray Rice was not nearly enough. So I\u2019ll tell you what we\u2019re gonna do. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new NFL policy is, in the case of wife abuse, spouse abuse, six games the first time you are found guilty of it.  The second time, you are gonna be suspended for a year with no guarantee that you\u2019re gonna be reinstated.&#8221;  So a two-game suspension wasn\u2019t enough. It\u2019s now a six-game suspension for spousal abuse the first time, and now the Drive-Bys in sports are asking, &#8220;Well, now, will the Ravens do the right thing and suspend Rice for four more games for a total of six?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_95439\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/NFLLiberalismPenaltyPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>&#8220;Because, you know, that would be the right thing to do.  Goodell suspended him for two games, but Goodell admitted today that that was a mistake, and so the Ravens, are they gonna be good NFL citizens? Are the Ravens gonna do the right thing, and are they gonna kick Ray Rice to the sidelines for six games?&#8221;  That\u2019s what the media wants to know now. &#8216;And if the Ravens don\u2019t do it, will the commissioner do it? Will Goodell call the Ravens say and say, &#8216;You know what?  Two games is not enough.  I was wrong.  It\u2019s six games now.  Ray Rice out for six\u2019?&#8221; <\/line><\/p>\n<p>The media\u2019s hoping one of those two things happens.  We have a call about this, in fact.<\/p>\n<p>Julie in San Antonio, Texas.  I\u2019m glad you called.  Welcome to the EIB Network.  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey, Rush.  A long, long, long time listener.  I got through one other time but was too late to get on the air, so.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I\u2019m glad you made it on today early.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I was talking to Snerdley. Actually, I was talking to my husband last night about this domestic violence rule, these new rules, and I was really surprised about the lifetime ban for the second offense.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No, no.  It\u2019s not lifetime.  I think it\u2019s one season.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Oh, I thought it was lifetime.  Either way, it\u2019s just pretty severe the second offense.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, wait a minute. Now that you mention it&#8230; You know, now that you mention this, I think I\u2019ve seen both.  I think I did see yesterday lifetime, and then today I read one year with no guarantee of reinstatement.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_95460\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Goodell_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  (Unintelligible) Well, either way, I said that to my husband last night, and he said, &#8220;You need to call Rush and see.&#8221;  We always want to know what you think especially on sports and NFL. We were really disappointed when that deal with the NFL didn\u2019t work out for you years ago, because we loved seeing you on there. But my comment to my husband was I\u2019m a woman&#8230; I\u2019m a strong woman, I have a graduate degree, I\u2019m a professional. I consider myself a pretty strong woman.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know, you sound like a woman who can take care of herself.  You just do.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You sound that way to me.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I think I am but I still would think if I were in that position and my husband had already maybe, you know, we had a few drinks and he smacked me and his first offense was done and now he\u2019s in this probationary area and something happens and he beats up on me again, I\u2019m gonna be really hesitant to report it if he\u2019s gonna have a lifetime ban, and here I am living in this million-dollar mansion with all this stuff.  I think that a woman. I think it puts women in a really tough position almost to where you\u2019re gonna have these closet domestic violence situations.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Do you realize, Julie, what you are saying here?  You are saying that some of these sports wives will do a comparison, and they will decide in favor of the lifestyle over justice for an abusive husband and will suffer the abuse in order to maintain the lifestyle.  I know your point.  You think the punishment for a second offense is way too severe; it\u2019s never gonna get reported.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I just think it puts the burden on the wife more than the guy.  I just think it puts a heavy burden on the wife.  I mean, Goodell made this decision in an average of what, a day? He realized, &#8220;Oh, I made a big mistake!&#8221; Did he go and talk to, you know, professionals in this area, in this&#8230; You know, I don\u2019t want to say &#8220;industry,&#8221; but, you know what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It is an industry.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  You know, did he go talk to your best friends over at NOW or whoever, these feminazis, and say, &#8220;What should I do to these big, bad football players when they beat up on their wives?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_95461\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/NFLGoodell_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Wait, you were cutting out there.  Were you asking me a question?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I just said, you know, who did he consult with to make this decision?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Oh, who did he consult?  Oh. Well, I don\u2019t know but it\u2019s clear, Julie. It\u2019s reactive.  He announces a two-game suspension.  Remember at the time the NFL didn\u2019t have a policy for spousal abuse.  They had a policy for suspensions for performance-enhancing drugs and for recreational drugs, substance abuse and alcoholism and any number of other things.  DUI.  But they didn\u2019t have one for spouse abuse. <\/p>\n<p>So they said they were flying blind.  There was no policy.  There was nothing, so they had to just make it up.  So Goodell makes it up, two games, and there was an outcry from the media.  There was an outcry from the sports media, and it was ongoing and relentless.  The league is making a big push for female fans.  That\u2019s what pink October is all about.  Wait\u2019ll you hear this. I\u2019ve got a story here about how the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/news\/press\/espn-thinks-women-need-relationship-based-rankings-grasp-fantasy-football-159786\">NFL is promoting fantasy football for women<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>(chuckling) It\u2019s hilarious. <\/p>\n<p>They are asking women to play fantasy football and imagine, and rate the players as husband quality, date quality, one-night stand quality.  I\u2019m not kidding. They are. They are using a relationship dynamic, an imaginary relationship with the players to entice women to play fantasy football.  It\u2019s all part of the push. So clearly I don\u2019t know who Goodell talked to, but it doesn\u2019t matter. Whoever he\u2019s gonna talk to about this is gonna be somebody on the left politically. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all PR. It\u2019s all reactive buzz and PR. So now it\u2019s six days.  Julie, I think you\u2019ve got a good point.  If the second suspension is lifetime, a woman who likes the life may not report it.  If it\u2019s a full year without pay, the wife may not report it.  You know the amazing details about abusive relationships&#8230; You know, we\u2019ve had movies about women that put up with it for whatever psychological reasons. <\/p>\n<p>(interruption) <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_95459\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/NFLRayRicePhone.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Well, that there\u2019s that side of it, too. &#8220;Women who want to get revenge would go ahead and turn a guy in and maybe make it up &#8212; claiming that such-and-such a player abused me, when it didn\u2019t happen &#8212; to get revenge, ruin his career, and get out of the relationship, obviously.&#8221; Well, she\u2019d have to have some evidence, or maybe not.  See, as reactive as the league is being, I don\u2019t know.  I told you, this is new, talking about this kind of stuff. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Here we are basically six days from the opening game of the NFL season, and we\u2019re talking about suspensions for spouse abuse and how the commissioner\u2019s two-game suspension wasn\u2019t enough, the media demanded more, and now it\u2019s six games first offense.  And the big question in sports media today is, &#8220;Will the Ravens do the right thing and suspend Ray Rice for six games now instead of two?&#8221; (interruption)  Oh, it is.  That\u2019s the question in the media today. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the question in the media, is: Will the Ravens now do the right thing? I kid you not. I\u2019m not making that up.  Julie, thanks for the call.  I appreciate it.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Open Line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity simply by showing up.  Back to the phones. <\/p>\n<p>Nancy in Jacksonville, Florida.  It\u2019s great to have you.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hello.  Thanks for having me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You bet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Rush, my comment is twofold.  First of all, Julie is exactly right.  Domestic abuse is already incredibly underreported for the very reason she mentioned. Whether you\u2019re wealthy or poor, you don\u2019t want the main breadwinner losing his job.  So this NFL decision makes it probably harder. I guarantee you that people are not gonna report it in legitimate cases.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay, let me refresh. For people just waking up &#8212; you know, welfare recipients just joining show today at this time &#8212; the NFL has revised its policy on suspensions of players guilty of wife beating.  They have changed it, now. It used to be two games. Now it\u2019s six games for the first offense, and a full year the second offense, with no guarantee of reinstatement. <\/p>\n<p>We had a caller say, &#8220;That\u2019s not gonna work, Rush, because woman is not gonna&#8230; She likes the mansion. She likes the lifestyle. She\u2019s not gonna get her breadwinner thrown out of the game with no paycheck; so it\u2019s not gonna get reported. There\u2019s gonna be more of it going on than anybody knows about because these women aren\u2019t gonna report it,&#8221; and Nancy here\u2019s calling to agree.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_95467\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/NFL-pink.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  Yes, sir.  Also, I think that the other side of the coin is it\u2019s gonna get abused by the really hot, crazy chicks who, you know, will threaten their boyfriends with this kind of thing. Because, if you\u2019re familiar with the Hot-Crazy Matrix, the better looking they are, generally the crazier they are. And they might, you know, use it like that lady did who said her husband was downloading porn to try to get him in trouble, but he wasn\u2019t even living in the house.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Wait, wait.  Wait, wait, wait, wait.  The Hot-Crazy Matrix?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah. (giggles)  It\u2019s kind of a thing on the Internet.  This guy comes out and explains the hotter the girl is, the crazier she is &#8212; and, you know, these are zones where it\u2019s safe to date a good-looking girl, you know?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Oh, it\u2019s a new take on an age-old philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Exactly. (giggles) Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, okay.  The hotter she is, the crazier. &#8230; Okay, folks, stand by.  Do you know what the equivalent of that was 20 years ago, 30 years ago?  &#8220;For every hot, sexy chick you see out there, there is a guy tired of her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckles)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s the equivalent 20 or 30 years ago of what you\u2019re saying now.  A hot, crazy chick goes nuts, and it isn\u2019t what anybody thinks, and she goes crazy. The hotter she is, the crazier and the more threatening she becomes and so forth.  So that\u2019s all over the Internet now, huh?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah, it\u2019s actually really funny.  You should see it.  But, yeah, I just think the decision is a lose-lose.  In legitimate cases of abuse, they\u2019re not gonna say anything, and then in cases where you\u2019ve just got somebody &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It doesn\u2019t matter. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It doesn\u2019t matter \u2019cause that\u2019s not what really is at stake here.  What\u2019s at stake here is appearances, and image and PR.  I mean, it\u2019s real simple to see what happened.  The league doesn\u2019t know what to do.  They\u2019ve got a videotape of a player dragging his fiancee out of an elevator at a casino after he knocked her out, and the media starts going bonkers.  It\u2019s Ray Rice of the Baltimore Ravens, and the media goes bonkers \u2019cause there\u2019s no immediate suspension announced.<\/p>\n<p>And then it\u2019s learned there\u2019s not even a policy for spousal abuse.  So the league says their hands are tied. &#8220;Our hands are tied. They don\u2019t know what to do because there\u2019s no manual. There\u2019s no owner\u2019s manual, there\u2019s no guidance manual here.&#8221; So finally, after media pressure and feminazi pressure and so forth, the commissioner announces a two-game suspension, and the media screams, &#8220;That\u2019s not enough.  That\u2019s outrageous!  How dare he!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And the feminist groups say, &#8220;It\u2019s outrageous!  How dare he!  How can he be so out of touch?  Only two games for knocking your wife out and dragging her out of an elevator on videotape?  How dare he!  How dare he!&#8221;  So the commissioner says, &#8220;Can\u2019t have this.  Six games.&#8221;  It\u2019s clearly reactionary.  And it\u2019s designed to appease critics.  It\u2019s not&#8230; As you guys point out, it really isn\u2019t well thought out in terms of dealing with the problem of players who beat their wives up.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  So here we are. We are six days from the opening of the NFL season &#8212; the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers at Seattle next Thursday night &#8212; and what is everybody talking about?  &#8220;Wife beater suspensions and Goodell being praised today by the media for admitting that he was wrong in the original announcement of two games as a suspension! He admitted he was wrong.  He admitted it.  That\u2019s what we wanted. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now he\u2019s changed it to six games.  He\u2019s back to being a great commissioner now, \u2019cause he listened to us.&#8221;  Okay, here is the story from <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/news\/press\/espn-thinks-women-need-relationship-based-rankings-grasp-fantasy-football-159786\">Adweek<\/a>, actually, about the NFL. By the way, I want to point out we\u2019ve had two callers on NFL football today.  Both have been women, and both have been brilliant.  Both have been right on the money on the subject.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let\u2019s go to audio sound bites 22 and 23.  This is Gayle King on CBS This Morning.  I just want to illustrate that what I\u2019ve been telling you today is accurate.  The Drive-Bys love Roger Goodell, now. They love nothing more than when now high-powered official admits a mistake. <\/p>\n<p>Ohhhh! They like it when a public person admits they were wrong.  They just love it!<\/p>\n<p>KING:  Many people say he should be applauded for even admitting, &#8220;Listen I got it wrong, and I want to change it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>TRASK:  Absolutely.  That\u2019s how businesses improve.  They look at what they\u2019ve done poorly, they fix it, and they get better.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That last voice is Amy Trask, the former CEO of the Oakland Raiders who is now part of CBS website pregame coverage on game day Sunday in the NFL.  Here is Jim Gray this morning on America\u2019s Newsroom on the Fox News Channel.<\/p>\n<p>GRAY:  Yes, they have.  Uh, Roger Goodell heard the outrage of the public, of the fans, of women across the country, of men, of everybody who coalesced and came together and let \u2019em know they didn\u2019t like the decision that he had made on Ray Rice.  It\u2019s been often said, &#8220;A wise man will change his mind; a fool never will.&#8221; Roger Goodell is a wise man; he listened.  We can only hope that some of the people in Washington are listening.  He didn\u2019t dig in.  He\u2019s gotten it right now by saying he didn\u2019t get it right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  So, &#8220;We can only hope that some of the people Washington&#8230;&#8221;  I don\u2019t know if that means Redskins or if that means politicians.  &#8220;We can only hope that some of the people in Washington are listening.&#8221;  It\u2019s gotta be the Redskins.  It has to mean Dan Snyder.  &#8220;We only hope Dan Snyder could be next and admit that he has made a mistake &#8212; and we will love him, too, if he will just admit that he made a mistake,&#8221; is the implication.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, the commissioner, Roger Goodell&#8230; The media is in love again today.
