Goodell keeps getting hammered (1 Viewer)

Did the NFL actually ever say how many balls were under inflated. My impression was that it was an ESPN report (from a leaked source). If the NFL never officially released that information, why would they correct the report?

I hate Goodell as much as the next person, but if what I stated above is correct, then that is all that he needs to say. Now, it would be interesting if the judge asked him if he was aware that the NFL leaked that story to ESPN. That would open up a whole new can of worms and it would become very interesting. If that were to happen, then I could see Goodell getting fired as the NFL would need a scapegoat.

It's believed, without evidence, but based on past reporting, that the NFL passed that info to ESPN, much like they did with Peter King during bountygate.

Florio, who wrote this article at PFT, is the one person who--after looking at everything, such as the dearth of actual evidence and the use of silly bits and pieces as so-called "evidence"--is the one person who started questioning Goodell and his motives during the bounty scandal. He's at it again. My guess is there is no love lost between these two and Florio is out to have him replaced eventually.

I disagree with some that are saying Goodell's days are numbered. I believe this is wishful thinking. He is making the owners a lot of money, and that's what he is truly the commissioner of--their bank accounts. On that front he is doing a remarkable job.

I agree. In the Navy the Executive Officer's main function is to be the "bad guy" and make the Captain look good. Goodell has this down pat. He's the perfect puppet for the owners, and as you pointed out, they're making more money than ever. Hell, he even looks like Howdy Doody.

I've often wondered that about Duncan too. He didn't, as SP would say, "Do his job." Things might have turned out a little differently if he had.

Safe to say his career has paid the price for it though.

Which is hilarious, because his behavior during that time period was so clearly a gambit to get the national media to pay attention to him and give him a gig. He thought by telling them what they wanted to hear they'd throw him a bone, but he got nothing out of it.

He's a zero talent.
