Tedy Bruschi on NFL Live: "I want a new commissioner to lead my league...Roger Goodell needs to step down."
— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) September 19, 2014
Benjy from the Howard Stern Show just interrupted the NFL commissioner's sad excuse for a press conference. https://t.co/8zR8SjW9TS

Holy shit that was awesome! Oh wait, it was just some stupid Howard Stern bullshit? Dammit. Sigh.
— Roger's Own Petard (@moosedenied) September 19, 2014
Say, anybody else starting to get the feeling that Roger might be full of shit?
— Roger's Own Petard (@moosedenied) September 19, 2014
NFL ends the press conference just under 45 minutes. Other than Goodell yielding some power to new conduct committee, awful generic

So wait, NOW ESPN sympathizes with the Saints and Sean Payton? Only now that everyone else hates Goodell too, is that right?

Goodell "can't explain" how TMZ got the tape with one phone call, when asked, yet the NFL could not
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) September 19, 2014
Someone's getting fired for letting the TMZ guy in the press conference.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 19, 2014
Didn't expect Goodell to engage much on that very real dynamic of the investigation but his tone frankly surprised me there.
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) September 19, 2014
I'm still rattled and unsettled by whatever was going on out in the hall at the press conference. That was very disturbing.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 19, 2014
Goodell dismissive of idea all of the strong ties to Mueller's lawfirm and years of work with and for NFL could compromise investigation
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) September 19, 2014
Great question on why the NFL needed more when criminal complaint said that Ray Rice struck Janay with hand, rendering her unconscious.

Notice how ESPN is running only anti-Goodell tweets. Network clearly has an agenda and has lost balance.

Goodell reiterates he believes no 1 in league office saw the second tape before TMZ. says it's been made clear to him he has owners support
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) September 19, 2014
Problem with a press conference -- it's a shotgun approach without meaningful follow-up.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 19, 2014
Goodell says the initial Rice video was "horrifying." So why only a two-game suspension?
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 19, 2014
As expected, Roger Goodell says he never considered quitting http://t.co/TCZRbYiwBw
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 19, 2014
Someone should really tell Goodell that the NFL can't fix America.
— Drew Magary (@drewmagary) September 19, 2014
Goodell's reluctance to talk about what Rice said in deference to the appeal process guarantees Goodell will be testifying at the hearing.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 19, 2014
Olbermann's gonna filet this prick (again) in about an hour or so.
— Roger's Own Petard (@moosedenied) September 19, 2014
Horrible job mentioning ignorance is not an excuse & then asking about him resigning. Goodell got to dodge by saying he ain't quitting
— Ralph Malbrough (@SaintsForecast) September 19, 2014
The good news here is that nobody's buying any of it, everybody's rolling their eyes, and Roger's still sinking.
— Roger's Own Petard (@moosedenied) September 19, 2014
Hey, someone asked the Sean Payton question! And he bitched his way out of answering it!

Goodell: "I'm not satisfied with how we did. I let myself down, I let everyone else down."
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) September 19, 2014
Goodell says experts hired by the NFL will explore his role in the personal-conduct policy process. Sounds like he's giving up some power.

Keith Olbermann is gonna need a change of pants.

The Goodell press conference was a circus, with TMZ and a Howard Stern Show cast member as the star performers http://t.co/WZYPFpTM2B

Fair and balanced statement from Roger. Answered ALL the questions. Also, he's a great guy, totally not an asshole. #JeffDuncanTweets
