Just a short time ago, TMZ, who originally leaked the video on Monday morning, claimed that they have hard evidence that Roger Goodell and the league has in fact seen this video before, and they plan to release that on Tuesday.
Well it didn’t take long for the NFL to issue a response, and once again, they are in full denial mode.
In response to TMZ's vow to drop a story tomorrow proving NFL turned a blind eye to Rice video, league reiterates they didn't see the vid.

They just had better hope and pray that they really did not see this video. This entire situation has already given the league one of its biggest black eyes in history, and consistently lying about having seen Rice striking his wife will only make matters worse going forward.
But I guess that we’ll all have to wait and see what exactly this evidence is that the league claims to have.
