Goodell Can't Resist

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell appeared on the Mike and Mike in the Morning radio show.

One of the Mikes asked Goodell about Troy Polamalu's comments regarding fines doled out to teammate Hines Ward where Polamalu called the NFL a "pansy league". Below is a verbatim transcript of Goodell's response.

"Well, I...I couldn't disagree w/ Troy more, I think anyone who calls the NFL game a pansy game is obviously misguided...and it's not...not an accurate statement, and I think that was indicitive... unfortunately, Troy was hurt last week, in a pretty significant hit"

You know he's never been happier to see an NFL player go out with an injury.

"Not such a pansy league now, huh? Is your pony-tail ok?"

Mike and Mike RIPPED Goodell this morning (11/7/08) on their show for Justin Tuck's fine that came down today.

Golic just blew up at the NFL for fining Tuck on what was clearly just a good form tackle. It was pretty funny to hear.

Goodell is ruining the league..how about giving bonuses for stopping celebrations like Brandon Marshalls? Just a thought...
