Bill Simmons was a guest on the Dan Patrick Show today — and I have to give him credit, because he won’t let up on Roger Goodell one bit.
Simmons and Patrick agreed that the NFL is gauging public reaction to the Wells Report in order to determine how they should proceed with discipline.
Which they should.
Like or it not, but the NFL has a product to put out on the field. Tom Brady missing a chunk of the season to a non-injury isn’t the brightest idea.
Simmons believes that because Goodell is taking so long to react — the Commish is lacking some guts.
“I’ll go further than you,” Simmons said. “I think it’s pathetic. Roger Goodell has handled so many things so poorly that it’s reached a point now where you have something like this, where it’s taken four months to release the report, and he knew everything that was in it. He knows the results before the report is released to the public, and yet doesn’t have the testicular fortitude to do anything about it until he gauges the public reaction.”
