Saints QB Drew Brees Causes Waves, Says NFL Players Don't Trust Roger Goodell

When Drew Brees speaks, many people listen. And not just in New Orleans. After a training camp practice this past weekend in Metairie, the Saints quarterback fired the latest salvo at NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "Nobody trusts him. Nobody trusts him," Brees said when asked about players' attitudes toward Goodell. "I'm not talking about a DUI, or using a gun in a strip club, which are pretty clear violations. I think there're too many times where the league has come to its decision in a case before calling a guy in, and the interview is just a façade. I think now if a guy has to come in to talk to Roger, he'll be very hesitant because he'll think the conclusion has already been reached." While two current and two other former Brees teammates with the Saints await word from a New Orleans federal court whether their injunction to block suspensions by the NFL from the 'bounty' scheme claims against the team, the court of public opinion to be stirred by more questions about whether Goodell has used his power fairly in this case.

preach.

 

The quicker the NFL gets rid of Goodell, the better

 

Definitely the truth. Some of the Steelers players already had issues with him. Goodell is a joke.

 

While I agree, good luck with that happening.

 

The owners' opinions are the only ones that matter in regards to him, and the NFL is more profitable than ever, so...

 

And as we all know, $$$$ is the bottom line.

 

be seen
dont be heard

 

That's coming from a pretty big "face" of the NFL...that'll make some bigger waves than James Harrison saying it...lol.
