I don't think the NFL understands how "evidence" works.

Here’s Tyreek Hill getting a pass...

And here’s the ravens CB Jimmy Smith getting 4 games for “evidence of threatening and emotionally abusive behaviors by Jimmy toward his former girlfriend”, which is exactly what the Tyreek Hill tapes show.

The NFL, of course, reserves the right to punish Hill later on if the public find out what they swept under the rug. They learned that lesson when they tried to punish Ray Rice again when the video of him punching his girlfriend got out.

1. Time to remind ourselves once again that the NFL's punishment department is not a court of law.

It's a damage control outfit.

Nothing more.

2. They seem to actually have more evidence against Hill than Smith,

And Hill has already plead guilty to assaulting his ex. Rather than say they didn’t have enough evidence, they should have said “we believe we can sweep this one under the rug, so we’re going to try to do that. If it doesn’t work, we’re going to pretend to be outraged and bend to public pressure.”

4. I thought audio tapes had him denying it

Based on what I read.

5. It had him denying he broke his son's arm, but he and his ex

Discussing (both of them) beating their child and him threatening her.
