Writer and commentator, Bill Simmons, of ESPN finds himself in hot water once again for not being able to keep his comments to himself. ESPN has suspended Simmons for three weeks after taking shots at NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, on ESPN’s ‘Grantland’ podcast. Simmons firmly believes Goodell had been aware of Rice’s violent actions, even calling him a liar as expressed, “And for him to go in that press conference and pretend otherwise, I was so insulted. I really was.” Jump on this story and click the link below to see what else Simmons had to say about Goodell and the Ray Rice incident…

“I just think not enough is being made out of the fact that they knew about the tape and they knew what was on it,” Simmons said. “Goodell, if he didn’t know what was on that tape, he’s a liar. I’m just saying it. He is lying. I think that dude is lying. If you put him up on a lie-detector test that guy would fail.”

He added: “And for him to go in that press conference and pretend otherwise, I was so insulted. I really was.”

Simmons challenged ESPN to discipline him for his words: “You leave me alone. The commissioner is a liar, and I get to talk about that on my podcast.”

Maybe this suspension will allow Bill Simmons some time to cool off…
