Goodell's press conference game thread

[DJnVa]

I'm assuming he'll say nothing meaningful and will dance around tough questions, but you never know....
 
Also, will Peter King be there and will he cry if Goodell admits a mistake?

Nice of him to wait for the release of the iPhone 6 to have a press conference.

Better yet, 3 pm on a Friday. Because that's when people are most tuned in....

 

[DJnVa]

Do you think this lady on the ESPN panel had to introduce herself to the other ESPN employees?

 

[Seabass]

I'm shocked that they're doing this at 3 on a Friday. Shocked. 
 
 
Nothing he says now will change public opinion of him and the league. 

 

[DJnVa]

When should he do it? He's not the President breaking in to primetime coverage.
 
 
Seabass--I believe he could say something that hurts himself or the league. But nothing he says will make this better.

I think this just about nails it. It's the equivalent of having a boss spring a "you're fired" meeting for the end of the workday on Friday. There's a very real reason it was scheduled for this time.

 

[Corsi]

Late for his own presser?  Must be wrapping up lunch with Peter King across the street.

 

[rembrat]

Yea, what the dick. 10 minutes late. If you don't know your canned answers by now you'll never know em.

 

[Seabass]

Seabass--I believe he could say something that hurts himself or the league. But nothing he says will make this better.

 
You're completely right. For some reason I was thinking he couldn't make things worse. Obviously, I'm not terribly bright.

Eh, it's the NFL--we're coming up on the 3 days of the week most people pay attention to sports this time of year. Sat through Mon has lots of eyeballs and page hits on NFL news.

 

[ifmanis5]

He's on Obama time?

 

[DJnVa]

I just wish Peter King would go ahead and finish him off so this could get rolling.

 

[Leather]

Three days where actual sports are played.   The biggest news days for non-game related stuff for the NFL are Wed-Friday.  

 

[ifmanis5]

And we're on the air...

 

[ifmanis5]

"I got it wrong"

 

[Corsi]

Roger Goodell 3:16 says I just whooped your ass!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why is he blaming himself for NFL players doing dumb things?

 

[DJnVa]

DID YOU SEE THE VIDEO???

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Fuck her right in the pussy.

 

[rembrat]

Why is he blaming himself for NFL players doing dumb things?

 
People in charge tend to publicly take the fall for things? I mean, when they have job security of course.

 

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

Why is he blaming himself for NFL players doing dumb things?

 
Probably yet another power play to crack down on them EVEN HARDER. GINGER SMASH.

 

[DJnVa]

Boilerplate shit.

 

[Ed Hillel]

There's really nothing of substance in any of this.

 

[mascho]

This is amusing on many levels..
 
@BillSimmons  5s
Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah. Blah by blah.

 

[Ed Hillel]

"I know this, because we will make it happen."
 
Well, that's stellar.

 

[DJnVa]

At least he hasn't said "domestic violence space" yet. Yet.

 

[dcmissle]

Fuck her right in the pussy.

Well done

 

[Corsi]

god, i thought peter king got the first question. heart jumped.

 

[DJnVa]

That's a Mike Dukakis debate question!!!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Look at those blinks per minute when the Ray Rice tape issue comes up.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Answer the question doofus.

 

[mauidano]

It had to be a woman with the first and follow up questions.  Had to be.  Peter King is queued up and ready though.

 

[riboflav]

There's more work to do.
 
There will be more press releases in the future.
 
There might be another PC in several months.
 
Thanks for coming, everyone.

 

[riboflav]

That's a STUPID question.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

"Hi, 411? This is the NFL, can you give us the Ray Rice tape? No, kthxbye."

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Man this is bad.

 

[Ed Hillel]

He is so clearly lying about the Ray Rice tape issue.

 

[rembrat]

That's a major league question right there.

 

[mauidano]

He is so clearly lying about the Ray Rice tape issue.

No back tracking for sure at this point.  Gonna live that lie to the bitter end.

 

[Ed Hillel]

"We have results to show for it."
 
Right...

 

[mauidano]

 

[riboflav]

Everything is on the table except for my resignation.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Wow the men are asking horrible questions

 

[Scriblerus]

I'm hoping someone asks about the recording of an NFL employee admitting that not only did they receive the video but commenting on how terrible it is.
 
The question about the Bountygate response was nails, and he looks like such a hypocrite.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Remember when Goodell told Sean Payton "if you didn't know you're just as guilty cuz it was your job to know" then suspended him for a year?

 

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

$44 million a year doesn't go as far as it used to.
 
The owners should be incensed.

 

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

Remember when Goodell told Sean Payton "if you didn't know you're just as guilty cuz it was your job to know" then suspended him for a year?

 
BINGO.
 
Of course the coaches couldn't appeal. No wonder he hit them hard. SUCH. A. DOUCHE.

 

[riboflav]

The women are killing it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Oh boy! That's a good question!
