Truthful answer regarding accessibility of the Commish would have been, "I'm available 24/7 to my selected media toadies."
I actually think the Philly guy's question was a good and important one. Especially the second part.
Note: there are people on both sides of this issue that hate Goodell. That he's terrible at his job is an opinion with bipartisan support.

You didn't think Goddell's answer was the right one there? He basically said, in so many words, "whoa, back the fuck off, the bounty thing was something where they were on clear notice, and here we don't even know if there's an infraction." I think that's a positive answer (both for reading tea leaves) and the right answer.
Commish: "We don't know enough to know who is responsible or in fact if there is even an infraction."
Well, imagine if he's uttered those words 10 days ago.
Can we add this quote to Shep's Ballghazi piece?

You suspended the Saints HC even though he didn't know what was going on, will the same standard apply to BB.
At least he somewhat stated that Bountygate was a real thing, and we don't even know if this deflated football thing is.

Basically, he wanted to know if the "ignorance is no excuse" reasoning for suspending Sean Payton would apply to Belichick if there was any findings of wrongdoing on the Patriots' part. Rog more or less said yes IF anything was found. Of course, the media will ignore the IF part.
Roger Goodell; "We don't even know if there was an infraction" in Deflategate. Sounds like the league is really walking back this "scandal."
I'm telling you, he's laying the groundwork to bury this a month from now. These fucks have nothing.

Did you ever measure football pressure during any other game so you have a frame of reference.
Reiss: Have you ever before tested footballs in the middle of the game?
Goodell: Do you mean in the middle of the game? WTF
Reiss: Correct, ya know halftime.
Goodell: I was QUITE clear we tested at halftime during the AFC championship.
Reiss: Right, but what about other games.
Goodell: Oh I have no idea.

Basically, does the NFL routinely measure the air pressure of footballs at halftime. Goodell said he doesn't know.
"Do you deserve a pay cut, considering the year you've had?"
"That's up to the owner's. They evaluate me"
"That's up to the owner's. They evaluate me"
He asked if the league had ever done in game testing before.
Gdell answered that they did it in the AFC champ. game.
Reiss followed up with the other-than-then question.
Gdell said Wells is looking into it.

He might not have known the answer 10 days ago, but he definitely knows it by now.

This is the best quote of the press conference. Posting it to facebook now.

He didn't know the answer and said Wells would tell them.
It's incredible the idiot questions these people ask. You get one question and want to know why Arizona?

.@nflcommish If you truly make yourself available to the media daily, why did you turn down my interview request during the Jim Irsay case?

What was the first part of your question? I'll answer that and ignore the second part. Dick.
Oh man, he avoided the second half of the Arizona reporter's question, which was the much better one -- do you think the ballgate thing has detracted from the game.

Goodell has proven he's really grown as a person through this difficult season by belittling & patronizing Rachel Nichols. #ClownCommish

is it impossible for Arizona to have a camera that doesn't shake? It was the same thing with Blandino's press conference
Also, I'm not sure many people thought the world was flat back then, given that Aristotle had demonstrated that it was round 17 centuries prior. That's more of an 18th century myth. Sort of like the myth that the Colts' balls didn't change pressure on game day.8slim said:
