    ESPN's Ombudsman has weighed in.
    The "dare" to ESPN brass was part of the reason for the suspension -- but the biggest reason was calling Goodell a stinky lying liar without having the proof to back it up.
    Seriously?
    Every talking head at that network should've just had a chill go down their spine.

    9. I think if Bill Simmons has proof that Roger Goodell lied, then I’ve got no problem with what he said that caused ESPN to suspend him for three weeks. If it’s his opinion that Goodell is lying, then I’ve got a problem with it. How do you publicly say someone is lying and is a liar—adding profanities for emphasis—without knowing for sure?

    Peter really is a skunk- that's why he's got that broad white stripe on his hair.
