The announcement came hours after the NFL said it was looking into an Associated Press report that a law enforcement official sent the league a video five months ago of Rice punching his fiancee in the head and knocking her unconscious...

‘‘The law enforcement official is an unattributable source.

The NFL has kind of brought it on themselves.”

Torrenzano said the reaction to the Rice incident has followed a pattern he calls a crisis predictability arrow and applies to not only sports, but business, religion or politics.
