Mark Cuban: Roger Goodell handled Deflategate 'masterfully'
Later in the interview, Cuban was asked if Goodell has too much power.
What a db.
"As an owner, it was obvious to me that it was up to Roger Goodell to take the heat and take responsibility," Cuban told reporters at TD Garden before Wednesday's game. "And he handled in masterfully. The fact that it all got reversed and all that is irrelevant. The NFL always loses their court cases the first time. Always. And then they end up winning when it doesn't matter, but you can't — I don't know if (Tom) Brady lied or not, who knows, with the whole phone thing and everything — but the reality is it's all about the good of the game and that's what Roger's responsible for and that's what the owners pay him so much money to do. And he's going to do to the best of his ability what he thinks he can, and I think that's what he did. It's not about Brady, it's not about anything else. It's, 'How do you manage the golden goose?' That's what he's trying to do. I give him credit for taking all of the bullets."
Later in the interview, Cuban was asked if Goodell has too much power.
"No," Cuban said. "Nope. He's got 32 bosses. It's hard to have too much power when you have 32 bosses. Trust me. I mean, I don't know the NFL and I'm just guessing, but he ain't doing s--t without getting feedback from all the owners."
What a db.
