I'm glad people are jumping on this.
But more importantly, there's seriously someone named "Damon Amendolara"? I thought I just had a stroke or something.

He used to be the evening host on Sports Hub before getting a national gig on CBS Radio.
So the competitive advantage factor is secondary to the violation of the rule?
How are those things not the same thing? Otherwise, why have the rule?

Mr. Burns, your campaign has the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?
Paraphrasing: the integrity of the game is possible meaningless rule enforcement. No idea if it actually matters if the ball was at 11.5 PSI but it's important.
"It's not unusual for me to be at Kraft's house." Right, but does it look proper?
"Those 'independent' investigators we're paying have the highest integrity and would never fudge anything." Right, but does it look proper?
I feel like either Goodell can't understand, or the reporters can't make him understand, that it's not just about the outcome, it's the appearance of propriety.
This is why judges recuse themselves. "It's not unusual for me to be officiating the prosecutor's daughter's wedding. Don't worry about it."

What was Nichols' question?
I had just missed it and only a few of the answers were posted in here.
Thanks.

She asked about there being a conflict of interest w/ the NFL paying the investigators and in he ended his response with "unless you want to pay for it, Rachel."

He could have just said, "I always attend the party for the AFC Championship at the host owner's place."
Nichols asked if there were conflicts of interests in these situations where the league is paying the independent investigator and the owners are paying him and so on.
He told her that his rich buddies are beyond reproach and maybe she would like to pay their salaries with her piddly CNN reporter salary.

The Mexico reporter has to be loving this. London: You're the best, we love you. We love everything about you. Mexico: You suck, and your stadiums suck, and fuck yourself.
Rachel Nichols as the Doctor, Goodell as Harriet Jones, Mara or Rooney as the assistant.

I can only paraphrase, but he said that "we are a league of rules," the 32 teams all agree to them, and what goes on inside the lines and the rules can be remedied with penalties, fines and suspensions. Whether or not there's a competitive advantage is "secondary" to me.
They should play taps when he leaves the podium. If it's not over for him now, it will be soon.
The media pile on continues...

"I'm available to the media almost every day of my job professionally." Goodell has rejected every interview request I've made since 2012.

.@nflcommish If you truly make yourself available to the media daily, why did you turn down my interview request during the Jim Irsay case?
Um... "Jim Trotter" was the name of the D.A. In "My Cousin Vinnie", amirite?

Hannah Storm: He did not mention sexual assault or domestic violence until 21 minutes into the press conference.
If there's a violation of the rules we'll take that seriously especially if it has to do with the integrity of the game and the rules....
Ergo any rule violation will henceforth require investigation by expensive law firms
