    Didn't have any reason to doubt it... if he's not a lawyer, he's certainly sleezy enough to be one.

    Personally, I think the French Revolution priest drowning scenario would provide the most compelling reality TV though... and isn't that what Amerika is all about now, "reality" TV??

    Let's look up his CV and see what we find

      There we go... seems papa was "connected", lol...

      Was appointed to the U.S. Senate by Nelson Rockefeller (a more contempible sleeze never lived - and that's saying a lot, coz there's a lot of sleeze in this world) when Robert Kennedy was assassinated.

      A "moderate" (code for a man with no principles), he showed his allegiance to the Establishment by going off the rails and voting the Establishment Party line, i.e. all things big government.

      So daddy was pure scum.

      Roger graduated from Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania with a degree in economics. Strange, considering that papa was Ivy League - but, W&J is an elitist institution in its own right. $40k/year tuition, and highly ranked amongst the intelligencia.

      Seems to have been rather innocuous as an employee within the league - strange pick for commissioner. I never really knew much about the guy... heard he was a lawyer, had no reason to doubt it.

      Still, it makes sense that he wouldn't have a moral compass or any genuine sense of right and wrong, given his lineage.

      I still vote we duct tape his hands and feet and give him the French priest treatment

          Some days but not today. Nice work on the background check, showing Roger's connection to the Illuminati. Looks like the old man was an attorney too.

            Attending the session at 345 Park Avenue were Mike Singletary, Willie McGinest, Roman Oben, Eddie Mason, Matt Birk, Patrick Kerney, Robert Porcher, Charles Way, Scott Turner, Tony Paige, and Marty Lyons.
            Singletary was in town anyway taking a Stephen Covey course: The 8th Habit: Dropping Your Pants To Succeed.

              Kudos to Goodell for leaving Ray Lewis off the list.

                  What really gets me is the overarching arrogance, cynicism and hubris of the NFL. They've got this product for which there seems to be a endless demand for. Given that, they treat the fans like sheep to be shorn. They cynically apologize knowing we'll forget about it and keep consuming their product.

                  The whole Mueller thing is a great example. "Oh look, the director of the Eff Bee Eye! It must be ok!" Is what they expect us to think, knowing the whole thing will blow over and we'll get distracted by the drama of the season, our own dramas in our own lives or the latest and greatest from the celebrity train wreck of the week.

                  I could diatribe for a good long while but the lack of accountability for the owners, the networks and the league is galling.

                    At one point during owners meetings in Dallas, Giants owner John Mara and Steelers owner Art Rooney cleared out all NFL employees and team executives and spent about 10 minutes in an owners only meeting, updating the 30 other owners about the pending Mueller report as it pertains to the NFL’s handling of the Ray Rice domestic violence incident, per sources. Neither Mara nor Rooney offered specific details about the investigation. But their message was that former FBI director Robert Mueller III is being thorough, has interviewed every female employee at the NFL office, and is getting closer to releasing the report. One league source estimated the report would be released “sooner rather than later”, but neither Mara nor Rooney provided a specific timeline in their update. This represented the second time Mara and Rooney – who are overseeing the report -- have updated NFL owners without the presence of NFL executives, the first coming at a league meeting in October in New York.

                    Why is it important he interviewed every female is the League office? He isn't investigating assault charges against Goodell, he is investigating whether the League lied about the thoroughness of its own investigation.

                        Perhaps he feels the women have information on what the NFL knew, but have been left out of any decision making process. He may even want to know if they felt theirjobs were threatened if they talked about what they knew.
