Because I can’t stow it. He’s infuriating. For the $70 million or whatever Goodell’s annually paid by the NFL, he has the credibility of a snake oil salesman and the on-the-job courage of the Sheriff of Nottingham. He’s so demonstrably full of it you’d be torn between demanding a polygraph exam and sending him to his room without dinner.
And the media, which share his fear of indisputable truths, continue to pretend that he represents the best interests of the sport, thus Goodell’s urged on by silence.

The Chiefs may be down another quarterback.
