With Memorial Day weekend representing the news flow low point in the locked out NFL offseason, Jets coach Rex Ryan’s book has given us all a small gift, with the help of Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe.
Bedard points out, at page 174 of Play Like You Mean It, Ryan brags about the con he pulled on receiver Santonio Holmes after Holmes was traded to the Jets in April 2010. Specifically, Ryan asked Commissioner Roger Goodell to meet with the two men — and to rip Ryan in front of Holmes before ripping Holmes in front of Ryan. The coach’s goal was “to bring Holmes closer to me,” by allowing the two men to commiserate after enduring a mutual ass-chewing from the Commish.

What's your opinion on ex-Jet employee Goodell's conduct in this matter?

Dont hold either Ryan or Goodall in any esteem. NFL needs a governing body, not one commissioner. Less power to the owners, and a non-aligned central committee to oversee the good of the game itself. On account of Rozelle's do not come along often enough.
Obviously not going to happen.

I think Bernie Maddoff would be a good choice for commissioner.
