Roughing The Commissioner: We Want Football! We Want Football!
An article by Joe D.
I didn’t get to watch the draft last night, but the word around blogosphere is that this was the best part of the evening.
Football fans sacked Roger Goodell last night and really let him have it. The chants were so loud that they drowned out the sound system preventing Goodell to get things started.
Radio City Music Hall bellowed with loud shouts calling for the commissioner to step down, and when Goodell stepped to the podium to begin the draft he knew things were really getting ugly and that fans wanted an end to the lockout.
“We want football! We want football! We want football!”
There are now signs that Goodell has been forced into action. The NFL announced that team facilities and weight rooms are open for workouts again, and that coaches can hand out playbooks. Players can also receive treatment.
But only until this afternoon because it was just announced that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has granted a temporary stay. The players will be told to leave until at least monday when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit hears the players argument. Round and round we go and where we stop nobody knows. Getting soooo tired of this baby stuff. Just get a deal done. Looks like I’ll be into college football more than ever this season.
