[WhoAmI?]

Well, this just came out!!

Goodell is looking more and more like a lying sack of sh*t, which I always knew.

Oh lord, the House Judiciary Committee is starting to weigh in with their two cents. The situation is already ugly enough, but to make it a true cluster fug, you need to get some self-aggrandizing politicians involved

[Mr. Scot]

It's already happening.

EDIT: er, wrong tweet.

 

You were looking for this one.

 

I just received an email that the Senate Commerce Committee will conduct an executive session tomorrow, agenda to come.

Anyone still wanna say "no big deal".

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

he was in Wake Forest today (town just north of Raleigh) talking with high school football players about bullshit programs. I would have loved to have been there and see if he heard this bombshell while talking about it

[scpanther22]

As mentioned, that was before the video came out.

 

And as of today, you've got NOW lobbying for Goodell to be out and ESPN giving blanket coverage of this story.  They're repeatedly playing the interview where Goodell says "no one in the NFL has seen it" over and over.

 

Don't be too shocked if you see politicians from both sides calling for Goodell's ouster shortly.

 

This isn't just going away.

 

it's time for the pile on.

 

Organizations we've never heard of, politicians from all over will unite to take a stand on this

 

of course my cynical side is saying most of this will happen because it's an easy way for politicians to score brownie points with the press and public looking for someone to stand up for them

Are you serious?  That report is the very basis for this now 4 page thread.

 

Lookout guys!  We have a real sleuth on our hands here!

[Mr. Scot]

Congress controls things like the NFL antitrust exemption.

Of course it is. Elections are like 6 weeks away. That's why I said he's going to be fired/forced to resign, because there's going to be a ton of politicians come out of the woodwork screaming for his head.

It's true.  Mid-term elections are coming up.  It's gonna be a dogfight amongst the politicians to see who can get the most face time on this issue.

[Fiz]

This is such a good thing and I'm really glad he's going to be forced to resign.

 

I hope his 200 million dollar golden parachute and guaranteed k street job will cheer him up

Meanwhile the NFL is trying to protect the blackout rule.

 

This couldn't come at a worse time for them.

You are kidding me right? The opener between SEA and GB was the most watched opener in history and this was after Rice had been suspended. I'm sure you're outraged by the act but you are still watching football. Viewership = bottom line

Actually, sponsors=bottom line. If top sponsors get enough "I refuse to buy your product as long as you are supporting the NFL while RG is commish" type feedback, RG &/or the owners are going to be pressured for his ouster.

 If he was caught lying and orchestrating a cover up - he's done. He hurts the brand and the "shield". The court of public opinion is very powerful.

Oh, I'm so hurt. Whatever will I do? Only little b*tches talk like that.
