Goodell Presser Today 3pm ec(b)

[93henfan]

You know that the political spin machine is turning when a press conference is scheduled for 3pm on a Friday.

I hope there's a question and answer and the reporters there have the sack to ask the tough questions, like when he plans to resign.

[93henfan]

Goodell evading, as expected. Refused to divulge what exactly Ray Rice told him happened in the elevator. Hiding behind the appeals process.

[93henfan]

Refuses to provide detail on the voicemail from NFL offices about receiving the video.

All of his answers are "we're assigning Robert Mueller to investigate that" or "we're forming a new committee to address that".

[93henfan]

I'll be damned. He actually gave one firm answer to Peter King. Says that nobody in the league office had seen the video before August.

[SDHornet]

Dodged the question about the comments from sponsors.

"You'll have to talk with the sponsors."

[93henfan]

WTF was that? Dude just flipped out on the side of the stage!

[SDHornet]

Some commotion. I think someone got booted.

[SDHornet]

"Please, don't take me down there! Don't take me to the elevator please!"


WTF.

[93henfan]

Rachel Nichols rightly pointing out conflicts of interest in the investigation team. Goodell getting uptight.

Yeah...and my local radio channel pulled away from the interview.

Best question of the day from TMZ.

We were able to get the video with one call. You have a whole legal department. Why couldn't they get it?

Goodell: You'll have to talk to them.

[93henfan]

Goodell looking very bad now well into the questions.

Pompous, arrogant, and defensive.

Goodell: You'll have to talk to them.

I think he said "you explain it".

Holy fuck, that ownage. Somebody better check poor Roger for a distended colon.

[SDHornet]

Race card is out!! OOOOOOhhhh!!!!

[93henfan]

He must have winked at the MC because they cut off questions. He was taking a beating!

Yeah he was.

[93henfan]

He came off very well while he was reading the prepared portion but boy did he flop under questioning.

He's still maintaining that Rice was ambiguous about what happened in the elevator when numerous witnesses are saying Rice was not ambiguous.

So over under on him keeping his job?

[93henfan]

Gotta hand it to Rachel Nichols. She is shining in this whole scandal. She's a shark in chummed water right now. Fun to watch.

Unless the owners feel some heat, he's staying. He serves at their pleasure.

I say he stays unless multiple sponsors leave the league.

Goodell would have made the world laugh if he had copied Tosh.
