Goodell vows to review Cam situation. Says he will talk to Cam about it.

About damn time.

[Mr. Scot]

Possible outcomes...

The league determines everything is okay, nothing changes and teams continue to tee off on Newton while opposing players and talking heads label him a crybaby.

Or...

The league directs officials to be more protective of Newton resulting in the Panthers getting more calls but opposing players and talking heads label Newton a crybaby because of it.

The reaction part of this is gonna happen regardless, so I'd prefer Option B.

If it was anyone but Goodell..........

Where's the Players Union in this?

Appealing the fines of the guys who hit Newton in the head.

Sad but true.

Some one higher up should have said something for cam.  He is again in a huge no win situation.

I hate it for him.

This is his league MVP. He better talk to him about it and seriously consider everything Cam has to say. The evidence is there. 

[Carl Spackler]

Cam did the right thing, speaking up about it

But if little has been done now there's reason to believe little will ever be done

[motocross_cat]

He did do the right thing for himself.  Unfortunately all i see coming from this is cam went and told daddy.

People are going to really regret not taking action and standing up for Cam if Cam's career gets cut short due to injuries. Fan or not, everyone will regret that a once in a life time player's career is cut short over something that was totally avoidable

Theres no way the league doesnt know what has been going on with Cam.  Since the season opener, the hits on him have made national news and been the subject of mainstream discourse at least three times.  Goodell already knows what it is.  I just dont see anyway this backfires, because now that he's acknowledged it, how does it make Goodell and the league look if it happens again and goes unpunished?

I mean they kind of have to. They don't really get to pick and choose what they appeal.
