Re: Whitlock: Ben is Goodell's white whipping boy

the biggest problem I have with Goodell's recent comments about Ben is the timing of it, why would you want to address this issue right before the Super Bowl?

Goodell is all about Goodell, he certainly didn't have the best interests of the league in mind here.

wasn't the most recent comment on January 7th? I haven't really followed media day at the SB or any SB hype yet so I have no idea if he said anything else.

I was referring to Peter King's article which was posted on Jan. 31st in his Monday Morning QB feature...

If Goodell made the comments Jan 7 and King published Jan 31 then i dont question Goodell's timing. Unless it comes to light that he instructed P King when to publish.

Goodell is still a douche but you have to remain objective.

Re: Whitlock: Ben is Goodell's white whipping boy

Oh please. Does Goodell REALLY believe that King wouldn't use that quote at some point?

King's a schmuck, but Goodell provided him the ammo.

As a supposed commish, those comments should have never been said. I have never went to other employess, or employees of another company, to determine what punishment I was going to give one of my staff members.

That fact that he went outside the Steelers at all is the most bother-some thing.

Re: Whitlock: Ben is Goodell's white whipping boy

Thanks for posting this very well written article. I was ready to just all over Whitlock but the article really is eye opening. Goodell is turning out to be a bad commisioner. This guy really wants attention and he really dislikes the Steelers, it seems. Targeting two of our star players. He is very unprofessional. When he destroyed the Patriots cheating tapes that should have been the biggest red flag. And I vaguely remember a really pathetic excuse he gave as why he destroyed the tapes. Is their anyway to get rid of this guy. When Ben hoist the Lombardi, once again, perhaps he should find a way not to look at or acknowledge goodall. Don't shake this creeps hand.

And far too many other things.

Re: Whitlock: Ben is Goodell's white whipping boy

Goodell said these quotes to King before we played Goodell's beloved Ravens. Says here my guess is he was hoping King would publish them before THAT game. But King held onto the quote.

When they were printed isn't the issue, the fact that Goodell said that quote at all is.

There's a storm coming, too many clouds circling around Goodell and his running of the NFL.....a vote of no confidence coming?

Dan Rooney has already fired the first salvo at BADall. No 18 games season. I am pretty sure Dan Rooney still commands huge respect among owners in NFL.

I have no problem with Goodell going to other players... Whether people want to admit it or not 95 % of the players are cool with each other and aren't the sworn enemies we believe them to be.

Players don't wish harm or suspensions on each because they know any player can get accused or end up in Bens situation.

My problem is Goodell revealing his tactics to King. That was unprofessional.

and to Crash. I do think there is a responsibility by journalist to reveal when the interview took place. If we weren't in the SB this story wouldn't have been published and its odd how info this juicy didn't make the printed story.

Then you are an idiot just like Goodell is.

Yeah, ask players who would benefit from Ben sitting out for their input.

Real smooth move.
