Roger Goodell spends 45 minutes dodging questions

Roger Goodell addressed the media for the first time in more than a week on Friday afternoon, and managed to dance around hard questions for roughly 45 minutes. The commissioner admitted that the NFL has mishandled domestic abuse cases and took personal blame for the shortcomings, but gave very little insight into the details of the league's recent behavior.

"At our best, the NFL sets an example that makes a positive difference," Goodell said. "Unfortunately over the last several weeks, we've seen all too much the NFL doing wrong. That starts with me. I said this before back on Aug. 28 and say it again now, I got it wrong in the handling of the Ray Rice matter and I'm sorry for that. I got it wrong on a number of levels, from the process that I led to the decision that I reached. But now I will get it right and to whatever is necessary to accomplish that.

They are deflecting the problem to the Commish for the culture of the new NFL. Vince Lombardi would have had none of this.
