NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the rest of those who have been saying the league never saw the video of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching his then fiancee in the head before could soon have a lot more explaining to do.

TMZ is promising to release more information on Tuesday to prove what the NFL “did not do” about the Ray Rice video.
However, before we get to the big news that is being teased for TMZ Sports on Tuesday, TMZ co-executive producer Charles Latibeaudiere appeared on Monday night’s edition of FOX Sports 1’s “FOX Sports Live” to provide even further insight on the troubling situation.
According to Latibeaudiere, there were NFL employees who went to the Revel Hotel Casino to watch video of the incident.
That directly contradicts the statement that “no one in the league office” saw the video before today.”
“We have spoken to multiple sources at Revel Casino, which of course is now closed, but we’ve spoken to people who were working there at the time. And we are assured thatsomeone from the NFL — it wasn’t Roger Goodell walking in, we know that — but there were people from the NFL who came and saw the video,” Latibeaudiere said, as transcribed by The Big Lead. “So now the question becomes how much of that information got back to Roger Goodell, and did he ever see an actual copy of the video?
“We don’t know who it was,. We just know that employees of the NFL were at the casino to see the video.”
It is going to be interesting to see whether or not TMZ can find out who those employees were and what tomorrow’s news will be.
If it is damning evidence that proves the NFL dropped the ball even more than imagined or simply ignored the video evidence that was out there, the cries for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to resign will be even louder.
