Has there ever been a string of punishments/non-punishments more baffling than Roger Goodell's recent run?

MMA Fighter Has A More Racist Fantasy Football Team Than You

Why The 1991 Saints Dropped Their Lame "Cha-Ching" Catchphrase
The New Orleans Saints won their first division title in 1991, which is weird both because the Saints had been around for more than two decades before that point and because the 1991 Saints were a weird team.
