#DFG: Canceling the Noise

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Has his head always transitioned straight into his neck like this, or is this new?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Someone ask why the NFL was so OK with its players beating the shit out of women before the country told them that wasn't OK.

 
Awareness, man, awareness!

 

[Van Everyman]

If this guy had any vision whatsoever, he'd say that the state of the sport is very strong but that it is going through a transformational period and is at something of an inflection point in its history -- that the world is changing and for football to continue its success it will need to find ways to change with it.

But he can't say that for some reason.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

 
This boy needs some A B Cs...
 
a) Not a $1M question. Probably more along the lines of a $1.50 question, or something that a minimum wage stringer could come up with in 10 min
b) The NFL doesn't "have" to tell you jack. Heck, they haven't told AN OWNER WHO THEY'RE SLANDERING jack.
c) What GregHarris said

He's trolling. Every 2nd or 3rd twitter reply states the obvious reason. He doesn't give a shit.

 

[Tito's Pullover]

Now I get it; hitting women is bad!

 
But it's a complex issue.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Now I get it; hitting women is bad!

 
But not the kind of thing you would think is bad unless people clue you in on it.

 

[E5 Yaz]

"the NFL has had a bad year, but more importantly, its been a tough year for me"

 
Did he really say it was more important how bad his year was?

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Rachel Nichols, hard hitting journalist.

 

[Tito's Pullover]

What a condescending asshole.  Ugh.

 

[Section15Box113]

"Humility" is the first word I would use to describe Roger Goodell over the past year.

Love the references to himself in the third person.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Whoa, daring Nichols to volunteer. keep pushing him.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

What did he just say about paying investigators and whether Nichols wanted to pay for it?  What the fuck was that?

 

[Morning Woodhead]

What a dick statement, "unless you're volunteering to pay them"

 

[Three10toLeft]

No love lost between ole' Rog and Rachel Nichols.

 

[Corsi]

what a fucking scumbag re: nichol's question

 

[Corsi]

wow "unless you're willing to pay them, rachel"
 
condescending fuck

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

What did he just say about paying investigators and whether Nichols wanted to pay for it?  What the fuck was that?

 
Consultants are expensive. He just cried poor.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Did he just throw a hook to Rachel Nichols' jaw?

 

[8slim]

Please, the players are cattle to Goodell.

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

Someone please ask about the current status of his relationship with Kraft.

 

[Harry Hooper]

No love lost between ole' Rog and Rachel Nichols.

 
 
That merited an Animal House "asshole" chant from the rest of the room.

 

[RIFan]

It's especially telling he looked away from her most of the time he was answering her question.  He seems to be looking back at the others when he answers their questions.

 

[BroodsSexton]

Did he just throw a hook to Rachel Nichols' jaw?

 
I hate to cry sexism reflexively, but he didn't attack the guy who asked him about whether he'd be forced to resign.  It became a joke.

 

[BoneForYourJar]

All balls were carefully inspected prior to gaining access to this presser to ensure they met NFL standards

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

The directv contract alone was 11.5 billion dollars.
 
Gotta be some slush fund there for consultants.  What a fucking dick.  She's going to kill him over the next few years.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Let me be clear: Goodell wouldn't have spoken to a man like he just did to Nichols.

 

[8slim]

 
Well, not exactly.
 
 

 
Yes, that was the joke.
 
Ben says hi.

 

[E5 Yaz]

All balls were carefully inspected prior to gaining access to this presser to ensure they met NFL standards

 
Reporters balls were deflated, which is why Nichols has had the largest thus far

 

[Marciano490]

Did this dude just ask if the nfl considered using social media to get more fans as opposed to losing them?

 

[Three10toLeft]

Who in the fuck is interested in hearing an answer to half these questions that some of these idiots are asking???

Dear God.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Let me be clear: Goodell wouldn't have spoken to a man like he just did to Nichols.

 
Will this gain any traction in the press?

 

[Tito's Pullover]

Let me be clear: Goodell wouldn't have spoken to a man like he just did to Nichols.

 
That was my gut reaction as well.  I'm glad someone else picked up on that.  I hope many more.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Let me be clear: Goodell wouldn't have spoken to a man like he just did to Nichols.

 
At least he didn't knock her out and drag her out of the room. Progress.

 

[BoneForYourJar]

The response to Nichols revealed the cowardly bully he is

 

[CaptainLaddie]

OH GOOD KID REPORTER

 

[Ed Hillel]

I believe in hitting the gym.

 

[8slim]

Bobby, do you like gladiator movies?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Play60 kid with the ultimate softball. Come on dude.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Hard hitting Play60 question.  So glad they let that kid in there.

 

[mauidano]

Bring on the kids questions!

 

[McBride11]

Hey that guy clearly had an original question that he had to stumble over while reading.
 
Now kid asking him how he exercises.  Btw is that Polamalu's kid.

 

[E5 Yaz]

 
Will this gain any traction in the press?

 
No

 

[Three10toLeft]

Wow.

Roger's workout routine is now being disclosed. Nice.

 

[weeba]

This kid has to be a plant.

 

[Corsi]

this fucking kid?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Oh fuck.

 

[dirtynine]

Hard hitting journalism from Bobby! 

 

[Three10toLeft]

Bring on the kids questions!

It's the same level of question as these supposed journalists.

 

[Section15Box113]

Philly guy: ignorance is no excuse. Suspend Belichick!!

 

[BoneForYourJar]

OMFG
