Everything you said is correct and you're a good man for feeling that way.

But I get a certain, smug sense of happiness watching him squirm.

If he would have just manned up and said he screwed up on Rice's suspension the first time and was adding 4 more games to it, everything would've been fine. But he was too arrogant to admit he was wrong. So this is a scandal of his own making.

When he accused the Saints organization of hurting people for money and found them guilty of running a bounty program, he never felt he needed to show any proof.
He named Vilma, Fujita and others by name and said they were evil and that they tried to intentionally injure other men, and we all should just take his word for it.
They vehemently denied the allegations, they even swore under oath they didn't do the things Goodell said they did. They demanded to see his evidence, but he was so arrogant that he told them he didn't have to prove anything to them because he was the commissioner.
A federal judge, who got to see all the evidence called Goodell's case against Vilma "baloney". But he still hid behind the collective bargaining agreement that gave him all the power.
I don't wish any harm to the guy, but I wouldn't be honest if I didn't admit I'm kinda glad that he's being shown as a liar and that he will be remembered that way. I've had a smile on my face for a week now just thinking about it.

I'm guess I'm just kinda petty that way.
