Goodell keeps getting hammered

Goodell avoids question on league

That’s a lot of words, none of which directly answer the question. It’s obvious that the league doesn’t want to answer the question, because there is no good answer. But that doesn’t excuse the chronic failure to address the situation directly, or to investigate the leak that became a report that turned a curiosity into a hashtag.
Here’s some free legal advice for the NFL. If Judge Richard M. Berman asks Goodell or one of the lawyers that same question tomorrow, Judge Berman will keep asking it until he gets a direct answer.


Personally, I have such mixed feelings about this whole thing. It makes me mad that nobody stuck up for the Saints during Bountygate the way people have this time. But on the other hand this Judge Berman isn't letting Goodell squirm out of the tough questions - I really think Goodell's time as commissioner is growing short.

I remember posting on SR during the height of Bountygate whether Goodell and the NFL front office had adopted the STASI (the dreaded East German secret police who operated during Cold War times) handbook As their employee manual. The STasi were famous for putting out disinformation to discredit their enemies, and for their relentless control of all media. Very Goodell-ish and Pash-ish.

Of course since Bountygate Goodell and his bosses have been exposed for who and what they are and nobody believes or trusts them anymore. I wonder if Peter King and Jeff Duncan and others like them feel any remorse or shame for allowing themselves to be used by Pash and Goodell to print all the lies they were fed. I feel for Brady, but not for Kraft. He helped create the Goodell monster.
