Goodell (1 Viewer)

[Trump Tight]

Wow, just took the stage in RCMH and it took him at least a minute to quiet the crowd.

It was probably a good decision to come out 20 minutes before the draft started and hope that the crowd gets its ire out. Not as many people watching now than will be at 8:00.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Pretty classless from the fans.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

[hammerva]

I HEAR YA

I HEAR YA

Then do something about it instead of posturing like a condensending #####

 

[HellToupee]

WE WANT FOOTBALL!!!!!!! WE WANT FOOTBALL

I hear ya

 

[metoo]

I'm pissed with the half of a second moment of silence.

Agreed. It was OK to boo for a few seconds but to continue it as long as they did was classless IMO. Especially as he tried to calm people to pay respect to the tragedy in the south.

Meh, I think its pretty apparent that Goodell went out as a ploy. He gets some of the venting out of the way before the draft starts and he used a tragedy to try to play against the anger of the audience. There is no reason the person announcing the HoF class couldn't have made the same announcement.

I thought they should have kept going. How can you say it's classless? Fan don't give a crap about the labor situation.

No one knew that was why he was coming out to announce something. Does he normally announce moments of silence before the draft?

So in other words he can't win. If he hadn't done it and some "nobody" did people would be saying he doesn't care.

[Hoart Petterson]

Not to mention Goodell & the NFL are the #1 reason we can't play online poker right now.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Classless? Wat? F*** these greedy bastards.

####, we're all greedy. I don't even know why he got booed.

 

[shader]

Classless? Wat? F*** these greedy bastards.

Exactly. Classless to boo millionaires for fighting and threatening to screw up the league? I'd still be booing.

Come on. As is it wasn't obvious as all get out. I'm sitting here watching on TV and could see all the Alabama and Auburn personal lined up behind him. It was also a dead give away that he tried to say like 5 times he wanted to take a serious moment.

Took all of 2 seconds to figure out with guys from Alabama and Auburn up there why he was there. Guess we can assume the idiots in that crowd aren't too bright.

Yeah it was so out of line for them to boo. Are you serious? I guess the crowd should have known what he was gonna say about the south. Sounds like some owner lapdogs

 

[BigSteelThrill]

That was the wrong damn time to try and "have a serious moment".

They knew what was coming when he was gonna take the stage.

A ploy, nothing more. Users.

Yeah from the second level the crowd should have noticed. You guys have to be kidding me

Or, like most New Yorkers, the crowd is generally following Big East and Big 10 football. I couldn't have picked those guys out of a lineup.

Would have been stellar if they just did it all night. 30 seconds of chanting was pretty lame. Fans getting gouged and screwed here.

Great point. He knows he's gonna get slammed so he plans a moment of silence. Talk about being disrespectful toward a tragedy

Doug Hogue to the Bills at #3 overall Kiper's got him projected as a RB/LB hybrid, playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.

They are die hard NFL fans attending the draft and this happened only seconds after all the players where introduced giving their name and school and yet remarkably they don't know who any of those guys are? Riiiight.

 

[shader]

Exactly bigsteel, it was a ploy. That moment of silence was designed to stop the boos.

BTW I am a huge Bama fan living in a county affected by tornados. I'm glad the NFL recognized it. But they chose that moment for a reason.

Agree. If we hadn't had the southern tornadoes, dollars to donuts there would have been a call in # for Japan.

How the F do you say thats classless? Screw Goodell

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

Everytime the crowd gets out of hand, those 6-7 players + Sabin will stand behind Goodell.

 

[Skeletore Eh]

Classless? Wat? F*** these greedy bastards.

Thank you. My goodness. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

 

[BigSteelThrill]

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!

expecting some more. there may even be some direct anti-Goodell chants.

 

[Chadstroma]

Anyone that is taking either side is ignoring a certain amount of facts. Suffice to say, it takes two to tango. If you boo one side, then be smart and boo the other as well.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

There are FAR MORE reason then just the damn work stoppage to boooo Goodell.

Anyone who doesn't understand that is assuredly missing the facts.

As soon as I find out who this Gooddel you speak of is, I will find the facts and consider whether to boo him or not.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Goodell is the ###### of a commish the NFL currently has, regardless of how bad my typing is (and my typing is bad).

And it not surprising you could not figure it out. Keep your chin up buckaroo.

 

[Carolina Hustler]

Godell was given his position by the owners, why wouldn't he side with the owners here?

[Chadstroma]

It is not 'siding' with the owners, it is doing what he thinks is best for the league. Just as the union is doing what they think is best for the players and the owners are doing what they think is best for the owners. As much as some people would love to make one side or person the devil in this, it is a situation that is brought upon by mutual disagreement. It will not end until there is mutual agreement. That is all.

What world do you guys live in? The owners do not want to stop football! They lose money if that happens. Seriously, you are making yourself into an ADM poster.

The players and coaches are the league. The owners, own the league..My point was that he answers to the owners, so he gets boo-ed on television for the decisions they make....He's their guy, none of the hold out has anything to do with him specifically. And he can't resolve it. He can't side with the players... Why is everyone on his case? He's doing what he has to do....

Which is a tactic to get a new deal. They do not want to stop football. If you believe that, then I have no choice but to question your intelligence.
