Roger Goodell caught in a lie about false Deflate-Gate leaks


When you tell the truth you don't have to have a good memory.

That is a saying that Roger Goodell needs to put on a post it note and put it somewhere he can see it before he makes any sort of statement. Because lately, every time he opens his mouth, he is digging the hole deeper and deeper. Which is good for Tom Brady and the Patriots because the NFL's lies are starting to come out.

Yesterday at the NFL's press conference announcing the draft will stay in Chicago next year, Ben Volin of the Boston Globe asked Goodell why the NFL didn't respond to the false leaks from ESPNs Chris Mortenson.



To borrow a quote from the 90s classic Billy Madison, Mr. Goodell, at no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Essentially, Roger is saying that he delegated to Ted Wells the responsibility to address the false leaks. But wait just one minute here! The NFL had told Wells in February that they would investigate the matter internally and Wells told the Patriots this.



Seems like Goodell had forgot that some 5 months later. Which goes back to the opening statement. The truth doesn't change so you don't have to try and remember what story you told last time.

Me? well i thought you'd never ask. well i'm around 25 years old, give or take, i mean the only way to tell for sure is to cut me open and count my rings but for now i'm content to say i'm 25. i'm freakin funny, and if you disagree with me i will stab you in the jaw. i love to just chill with my friends, they are awesome, they laugh at my jokes, sure, it took some jaw stabbing but hey its not always easy. i haven't quite mastered the whole think before you speak program, apparently, if you start a sentence with "now don't take this the wrong way" people still take it the wrong way. i know, i know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but it happens. twice while i was fishing, i've seen beavers with paws the size of frying pans that could rip a mans face right off! oh and i hate bears, its just terrible what happened to those two hikers from the czech republic. terrible. i really like to go fourwheeling, i like to work on cars but i'm way to lazy to actually do it. i cant wait to go snowboarding this winter, i'm pretty good, steve once said i looked like a train wreck, he's borderline pro, so that really made my day. oh and once i had a dream.
