I'll assume the limitation period on the defamation suit is reset to zero every time Goodell opens up his mouth on this case.

Loved the line about ignorance is no excuse. Just looking at that lying slime makes me sick.

“I have a lot of respect and admiration for Tom. I know him personally,” Goodell said. “As I say, I admire him tremendously. He is a future Hall of Fame player. But our rules apply to everybody. They apply to every single player. And every single player expects those rules to apply to everybody. Every coach does, every fan does, every partner, every team does.

I agree, the rules of physics do apply to everyone. Thank you Rodger.

Can't wait until that clown is thrown in Jail.

It's going to happen, it might take 10 years but Roger Goodell will end up in prison.

Damn I thought your 1st sentence was about Hillary Clinton.

This moron is still spewing the I word. What a fraud. Why no one calls him on it is amazing to me. Everytime he opens his trap, vomit spews out.

“I have a lot of respect and admiration for Tom. I know him personally,” Goodell told reporters. “As I say, I admire him tremendously. He is a future Hall of Fame player.

“But our rules apply to everybody. They apply to every single player. And every single player expects those rules to apply to everybody. Every coach does, every fan does, every partner, every team does.”

He added: “So our rules and the integrity of our game aren’t because someone’s popular or somebody’s a Super Bowlchamp or not. They’re to be applied evenly. Our teams expect that, and that’s our job. That’s our responsibility. That’s my job. And so, no I don’t regret that. And we will continue to uphold the integrity of the game and we’ll do that as vehemently as we can.”

No regrets? Right.

Asked whether the results of the psi readings from future games will be released:

“I think the most important thing we’re trying to ascertain is that the balls in play are within the regulations that were established. That’s the core of the issue, is protecting the integrity of the game and making sure that the game is played within the rules. We’re a game of rules, and the rules need to be followed by everyone. The number one objective there is to make sure that those rules are being followed,”

So that answers that - The only reason they will check the psi is not to see if balls decreased (or increased) in pressure, but rather to keep them in the legal limit. I can almost envision the refs checking readings and 'fixing' the footballs every commercial break so as to show that footballs never deflated after a half or a full game.

I see no way they will release the psi readings UNLESS those readings support that Brady deflated footballs.

They need to ask him for a definition for the word "integrity" next time they have him at the podium.

Where's a noose when you need it ?

RobertWeathers · Oct 7, 2015

False PSI numbers, lying about testimony, destroyed cell phone.

It's all about integrity....

Archeryaddict12 · Oct 7, 2015

What an @$$hole. If I ever had a chance to meet this dude in my life, I'd have to give him a fist to the face. This puke is the definition of scum

Every time I hear him talk about integrity I think of Walter White talking about "it's for the family."

IOW, they won't be.

Basically he's admitting here that his fully disproportionate approach with Brady is 100% over reaction to criticism that the league unfairly punishes black and/or lesser players. Brady is his (sacrificial) white whale.

A real journalist asks: Didn't a third party who is completely independent, a judge, rule you broke the rules on multiple occasions for multiple incidents? How do you reconcile multiple third parties saying you broke the rules as you state "the rules apply to everyone".

I really hope someone high up (come on Jonathan!) during a cold game shows the reading of a football throughout the game on TV. I wonder if Zo would be allowed to do that, you know he'd want to.

In the original Planet of the Apes Dr Zaius held two positions in government: Chief Defender of the Faith and Minister of Science.
Goody is similar to Dr Zaius (though Zaius seemed worlds smarter). Goody is Chief Defender of Game Intergrity and Minister of Business PR.
How odd that one man holding two opposing positions means bad things ensue.....
