| Brave Sir Roger Goodell Runs From Patriots AFC Champ. Game |
| 2017-01-18 |
| OK, give me one here, mods. This is one more reason people hate the NFL, a chickenshit commissioner. Way to go, Brave Sir Robin.... NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will be at the Georgia Dome for a second consecutive week, as he'll attend the Packers-Falcons NFC championship game Sunday instead of the AFC championship game at Gillette Stadium, according to multiple reports. Many believed Goodell had cornered himself into attending the Patriots-Steelers game, considering it would seem odd to visit the same stadium two weeks in a row. But Goodell apparently doesn't care about public perception, because he's skipping out on the Patriots again. Fans in Foxborough, Mass., obviously have taken notice to Goodell's ducking Patriots games ever since Deflategate began. He hasn't been at Gillette since the 2014 playoffs, and many believe it's because he's scared to attend, considering how much New England fans hate him. |

| #2 Listening to the faux outrage about cheater! Cheater! CHEATER!!1!!! Patriots on Sports Radio is getting old. If the Patriots had sabotaged the other team's footballs I could muster something other than apathy on the subject. |

| #1 I'm a lifelong Miami Dolphins fan. As such, I find it almost impossible to root for the Patriots. Without out of the way, there was ZERO reason for Goodell and company to do what they did over allegedly deflated footballs. What they did was petty, unsubstantiated by anyone who understands air pressure, and worthy of scorn. IF the Patriots win the Super Bowl, I *relish* the moment when that over-paid jackass Goodell is forced to hand them the trophy. Truth is supposed to matter. |
