Goodell and the league will now embark on an effort to sell a slickly packaged three-hour slice of Sunday violence while simultaneously “doing no harm” to its players. Can NFL doctors serve the league and uphold the Hippocratic Oath? Doesn’t take a Mayan calendar to see that this will not end well.
