Goodell: "I understand the public misunderstanding of those things and how that can be difficult for

[Rusty Coupe]

Goodell, who is in London for Sunday's Giants-Rams game at Twickenham Stadium, even seemed to blame fans for the outrage over Josh Brown's weak one-game ban.

"I understand the public misunderstanding of those things and how that can be difficult for them to understand how we get to those questions,"

Roger Goodell suggests fans simply don’t understand the issues

Mouthpiece for group of Billionare owners is out of touch with the public, shocking!

 

[ViperGTS]

What an as*hole. How this guy is still in charge on anything other then the fry station at McDonalds is beyond me.

Corruption knows no bounds it seems. Even in modern day sports.

So, we see he learned nothing from the Ray Rice fiasco...but he DID learn from Defamegate; specifically that, when confronted with the facts, double down on the original incorrect decisions and assumptions.

This is what you get when you put a not-so-bright crusader personality in position to be

judge
jury
executioner
king
PR flack

all at the same time. But it's ok owners, right? After all, 9 billion isn't enough money. You've really got to get that up to 9.01 billion.

Goodell is scum. Plain and simple. If he and his front office of meth-addled crap flinging monkey boyz like you, then you're in like Flint. But if you are getting to uppity, like, say, some team in new England that refuse to "learn it's place" and let other team win, then, well, you're on your own and even the most minor of infractions will result in draconian measures being taken against players, coaches, and the organization.

Goodell needs a present for Christmas. Might I suggest a gift from Patriots fans everywhere of a nice warm coat made from hot tire and chicken feathers, each liberally applied.

Great point, Roger. Man, the NFL should really hire someone to be the public face of the league whose job includes clarifying this stuff, explaining and applying the rules in a consistent way, and building credibility with the public. Maybe he could be called a 'commissioner' or something.

Derrick Rose just recently was charged and cleared of rape while having many unsavory details come out about the incident. Somehow this doesn't give the NBA a black eye, or even the Knicks as far as I've heard. A domestic abuser in Aroldis Chapman being the Cubs closer isn't impacting the World Series at all. Somehow it's just the NFL shooting itself in the foot over and over.

This guy is slime

 

[sambam94]

sounds like an elitist politician....

 

[MitchKumstein]

So rog is saying that we're too stupid to understand why the nyjfl continues to support and enable wife-beaters

 

[Bill Lee]

As Tom E Curran wrote, the problem isn't that the NFL is stupid, the problem is that the NFL thinks you are stupid. That is the height of arrogance and it is not sustainable.

 

[woolster22]

I can understand Roger's misunderstanding of why 2 Bohemia way was burned to the ground.

As Tom E Curran wrote, the problem isn't that the NFL is stupid, the problem is that the NFL thinks you are stupid. That is the height of arrogance and it is not sustainable.

The problem is Goodell is too dumb to know that he's dumb so he assumes everyone else is. He has a complete lack of self awareness.

 

[Clonamery]

It seems to be working for the DNC as well....

Really? Why, why, why? Self-ban for bringing politics to this thread when the hate/frustration/dismay is clearly focused where it should be. Get thee to a grip and grasp it.

Disagree, my friend. He knows exactly what he is doing.

The guy in charge of the fry station could do a much better job managing the NFL than Roger.

They probably had to cut the interview short because his nose was growing too long.

 

[RobertWeathers]

You can easily argue that it is Goody who does not understand the PC policy.

 

[aluminum seats]

That's actually really funny.
