Roger Goodell.
What I would look at if I were a team considering that guy would be whether this severe lack of judgement (being a highly ranked player with a promising career video taping himself doing that) would continue to play out as he got older...ala Manziel. I doubt any team is naive enough to think they wont have a multitude of potential draft picks that have smoked a little weed during college, but to be stupid enough to film it, would raise a lot of red flags for me.
Production trumps everything. Unfortunately we live in an era where everyone has an instant video camera, so it doesn't necessarily mean a dude was stupid and filmed himself it just means somebody did, and probably with an eye toward making some bank down the road. Jameis Winston got caught out yelling "fuck her right in the pussy" in a college lunch room, didn't affect his standing at all in the long run. And Cam Newton was and is sketchy as fuck with the stolen laptops and payoffs to dad and whatnot, but his ass just played in the superbowl. And people were practically anointing him the return of Jesus. Manziel's crime was being cocky and stupid AND shitty on the field. The one unforgivable sin.
Meanwhile, Goodell better watch his own backside, people have reached a tipping point with this Brady thing and he's alienated a lot of the owners who used to be his support. He may find himself irrelevant to the NFL soon.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
