From the desk of Roger Goodell…

My fellow Americans:
For too long we considered terrorism something that happened to other countries. But the tragic events of September 11, 2001 put this nation on notice that our borders are susceptible to the scourge of those who attempt to undermine our way of life. Today I am serving notice of my own, should the unthinkable ever happen again, you cannot sue the National Football League.
This country has worked diligently over the past several years to construct a shield comprised of strength, planning and intelligence to protect our citizenry. Only time will tell if this shield will prove to be as effective as the fortification I have constructed around the league’s considerable assets. Some have rightfully criticized America’s response to the threat of terrorism as alarmist and wasteful, the NFL’s response cannot be criticized in that manner. Self-serving, avaristic, short-sighted and insensitive– but not alarmist and wasteful.
And while America can never be 100 percent immune from the threat of terrorist attacks, you can sleep peacefully tonight with the knowledge that the NFL is 100 percent immune from any resulting litigation. I do this not as someone seeking glory and recognition, but as someone with a single, driving purpose—to protect the entrenched business and financial interests of the billionaires whose keep me dancing like the marionette I am.
Of course, we all hope and pray that our efforts are sufficient to discourage further acts of violence. But if the dreaded Moslem menace should strike again, we will emerge from the rubble like the phoenix from the ashes, dust ourselves off with heads held high and loudly proclaim, “Thanks to an act of Congress, you cannot seek legal redress for any damages for which we may be responsible!”
Thank you and God bless the National Football League,
Rog


Dear Rodger,
NFL, as Goodell wants to maintain, is a GULAG of sorts, a plantation, a Roman Circus, a Dog Fighting Ring, Aztec basketball — financed by the owners, fought by the gladiators (blacks and poor whites, for the most part) and governed by Herr Goodell. For those who still don’t get it, here’s a little story…
Once upon a time, Herr Roger Goodell — son of Right wing Republican senator and a staunch “merciful” Christian — wanted to set a good example for his little boy in Westchester by ruining the lives of black players but not Belichick, Matt Jones, and others.
Herr Roger: “See sonny boy, you gotta keep these n!%gers in line and satisfy the corporate boys (NFL owners) that keep us swimming in cash.”
Son: Yes, I know, that’s what momma always says when she comes back from her FOX News job and teaches me about right and wrong. But daddy, aren’t these guys human and don’t they deserve a second chance.”
Herr Roger: “Well, son, some people do (like Belichick) but our first priority is money and our second priority is to only help people who look like us and live like us.”
Son: Thanks daddy, you’re so moral.
Does anyone else think Roger would look better with a shaved head and a mustache? That kind of look says “porn star” in so many good ways.
NFL’s continued existence = LLUA continue happiness.
Now you might say, “But Lebowski, YOU might be the victim of a terrorist attack one Sunday afternoon!” Fat chance hombre. As soon as some asshole, probably in New York, invented seat licenses, LLUA was priced out of watching the NFL in person. Plus, there’s at least 25 hate-able teams in the NFL. Whose to say that even Al Qaeda doesn’t hate the Raiders as much as we all do?
Out in Detroit we’d be celebrating such an attack. No one goes to the games anymore, so all they’d take out was the team. Like we’d even notice.
In the words of the great Jon Stewart: Fuck you!!
Thank God the NFL is protected in case something causes the Sunday afternoon (or Monday night) death of 50,000 people. I just couldn’t make it through life without divine assurances such as this.
Can someone please get the video evidence of Goodell saying he’d fuck himself, then dancing naked in front of the mirror with his weiner tucked back? Because I’m now sure that such a video could exist.
Rog didn’t refer to anyone as “slapdick” and kept his love for Phil Collins well-hidden.
I’m guessing diazepam,
Sure, the NFL is run by a bunch of douchebags, but why should they be any different from every other business owner? Thanks to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, almost everyone else got a similar deal. The Act establishes a program within the Treasury Department under which the Federal government shares the risk of loss from future foreign terrorist attacks. For losses above the deductible, the government covers 90%, while the insurer contributes 10%.
Thanks to the federal government, no business need ever pay for its own errors or negligence or bad judgment. What a country!
Also, Roger Goodell has a giant head.
I believe the correct phrase is; like a Phoenix rising from Arizona.
When I took a quick glance at the pic I mistakenly thought it was Drew…whoops.
Didn’t Baltimore already get attacked by a Neo-Nazi terrorist a few years ago?
/believes what he sees
Look Rog, that’s great that you’re protected in the event of a terrorist attack. But I’m a superstitious man. And if some unlucky accident should befall me at a game, if I should be stabbed in the head by a crazed, scissors-wielding girlfriend, or if I should violated in the holding cell at the Linc, or if I should nearly drown during a fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico, then I’m going to blame some of the people in the NFL, Rog. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go watch some turtle porn.
How is there not one vulgar profanity in a letter several paragraphs long from Goodell? I smell bullshit.
Does this mean Roger Goodell will sue Jason Elam for writing “Monday Night Jihad”?
HAHAHA robot vagina
“Thanks to an act of Congress, you cannot seek legal redress for any damages for which we may be responsible!”
That is on page 1123 of the stimulus bill.
“My name is Roger. I am a robot. I have a robot vagina.”
Goodell is un-fucking-touchable. He is GOLDEN.
There is no one else that can keep Peezy fixin moufs and showing off his popcorn muscles.
Goodell needs a turtle raping.
Well, Goodell at least looks tougher than Tagliabue, even if he does do “I am a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string…..” (Abba reference, that is how I roll)
marionette = majorette?
