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".

Benjamin Watson... New NFL Commissioner!

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

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

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."

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.

Goodell should immediately implement review for calls or no calls on PI. There's no time to discuss it in committee, but that's no excuse. For once, he needs to use that power he loves so much to actually do something good for the game. Give the coaches an additional challenge per half and automatic booth reviews in the last two minutes of each half, starting with the Super Bowl. Leaving the possibility open for the same thing we saw Sunday to EVER happen again, starting now, is unacceptable. Then throw it over to the competition committee to work out a more comprehensive permanent solution in the offseason.
