Ben Volin actually asks Goodell a tough question and Roger answers with jibberish

[Rob0729]

To Ben Volin's credit, he actually asked Roger Goodell why the NFL didn't correct the incorrect information that was in Chris Mortensen's report. Goodell's response was a long rambling non-answer about how they hired Ted Wells and he did an independent investigation and they are now in litigation.

BTW, the title should be jibberish. I screwed up there and hit the wrong keys. Can a mod fix that?

Rob I think you can fix it since you created the post. Go to thread tools and you should see an option to edit thread title.

Does Goodell even read what his lawyer put out in their reports? How come Volin didn't follow up with a question about them not having to be independent?

How many times does this guy have to outright lie before somebody calls him on it? FFS.

I am beginning to think Roger Goodell is not a very bright man and just a puppet for the people in the front office.

Goodell is um er untruthy re Wells investigating leaks/*independent* investigations &/or hasn't read his lawyer filings. #integritude

Who knew til Goodell's press conference today that among Ted Wells' powers was to investigate false leaks. I think that's what RG just said.

Only allowed 1 question no follow up , no other reporter was smart enough to call him out about the NFL filings saying Wells not being independent.

If the judge asks Goodell these questions tomorrow and he answers in the same manner, exposing the fact that he is ignorant of the facts and the positions that his attorney has taken, I suspect that this judge will tear him a new @zznozzle.

what took you so long lol? i knew this years ago. all you have to do is listen to one of his interviews to know he is stupid.

 

[Rob0729]

BTW, the NFL did not allow any reporters to ask any follow up questions. #transparency

I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he was just an arrogant a-hole.

I kept on waiting for someone to ask Him about the contradiction of Wells's role. No one did including Jason Cole whom I thought would certainly do so.

Goodell asked if he’s willing to settle with Brady: “We’ll allow the judge to handle the process from there.” Is that an answer?

So the independent not so independent investigation is independent again now? Best tell your lawyers Rog, because they're arguing it doesn't need to be!

Clown.
