Ben Watson Calls Out Goodell

Watson pens a very apropos open letter - what everyone misses is that Goodell is a glorified bureaucrat, not a Leader...

Saw this quite often growing up in a service fraternity among our adult leadership...

Ben plans on retiring... Can you imagine his career ending like this??

As I mentioned in another post, as low as we fans feel right now, can you imagine how the Saint's players feel? To have worked for decades to achieve a once in a lifetime opportunity, only to have it stolen from you seconds before the goal is reached.

Watson, it the perfect spokesperson for this crime against the sport. The man is respected in and out of football. He is passionate about things he believes in and speaks eloquently about injustices, whether they occur on and off the football field.

I hope he becomes the raven in Goodell's brain, constantly whispering, ever louder, "Never More".

It's quite possible that the filing of the lawsuit against him and the NFL effectively "gags" him.

I wish there was a button on this site to post "Hell Yeah"

Quite possible, but then he could at least make a statement to that effect. Saying absolutely nothing is basically saying "**** You and the Mardi Gras Parade you rode in on."

"From the locker room to Park Avenue" -- what Watson is really saying here is, "WE THE PLAYERS have integrity, do you?" That is actually a very powerful statement. He is going from the locker room right to the cushy and posh NFL offices of the top executive and calling them out.

I guess we will find out on the SB media days next week. He can't hide for too much longer.



Hopefully the press comes in with the hard blunt questions he deserves, no soft serve BS. I usually could care less about SB media days, but this year will be interesting.
