Did anyone else notice this?

I may be reading too much into it but Goodell announced our pick as the 'New England Patriots select...'

Instead of referring to us as the world champs. I'm pretty sure last year (and every year) he said The World Champion Seattle Seahawks select...

Seems disrespectful to me.

Hard to believe he would disrespect our team.

seattle didn't have a first rounder last year. they traded out as soon as we took Easely. in the second round walter jones announced th pick, not goodell.

Considering how much money he makes and how little the job entails, he could at least pronounce the players' names correctly. He sounds like Mayor Menino at times.

The NFL has had record profitability and popularity under Goodell's tenure. Even WITH all the controversy. He's far from incompetent. His job as commissioner is first and foremost, is to increase the value of the NFL brand. Even with all the negative issue the NFL has faced, it benefits from the fact that rarely in these cases is there such a thing as bad publicity.

I was thinking the same thing last night, but as TommyBrady12 points out Seattle traded their 1st round pick last year. I found the Ravens selection in 2013 on YouTube and Goodell didn't mention "Super Bowl champs" or anything like that. For the 2012 & 2011 selections (Giants and Packers), though, he did mention that those teams were the champs. I guess, like his disciplinary decisions, you can't expect much consistency from Goodell.

You're confusing correlation and causation.

It was a rough night for Goodell. From being booed all night to announcing the Titans selecting Marcus Moreyoto, he was under fire all night. I will give him a pass.

The owners could have put a sock monkey in place as Commissioner and they would've enjoyed similar record profits. Hopefully they realize that at some point.

Any accusations regarding Goodell's incompetence are purely speculative and mostly sour grapes. Any person that is able to put themselves in a position to be commissioner of the NFL and achieve the earning power he has can never be considered incompetent.

That was inexcusable. Has he never heard of the guy before? He could've been practicing for the last nine months if it was important to him to pronounce people's names correctly. Sadly, it appears that it is not at all important to the arrogant prick.

Goodell changed a Hawaiian player into a Japanese player....

He's just trying to open up a new NFL market in Japan.

Any defense of Goodell's competence is purely speculative and mostly insane rantings. People are often competent at one level and incompetent at the next level.

Did anyone else notice Danny Shelton hug Roger Goodell and lift him off the floor?

Was anyone else thinking "OK now body slam him?

Me neither......

I also noticed that he got booed mercilessly anytime he came anywhere near the stage. I wonder if the owners noticed that. Of course, maybe that's part of the design.
