ESPN showed an excerpt of an interview between the NFL commissioner and Chris Berman. Simmons thought more difficult questions could have been asked.
Another grueling interview on ESPN for Goodell.

I was really hoping Berman would ask Goodell about the future locations of the Pro Bowl and the Draft, I was on the edge of my seat.

"Roger - you spent 20 million to legally prove that you could make any decision you want, no matter how dumb it is. This has to feel good."

"Roger, I know St. Louis lost its football team and Oakland and San Diego are next... but wher do you think the Pro Bowl ends up?"

This banner week for media sniping continues.
To be fair, something must be done about the Pro Bowl — but Simmons has a point. There are scores of more pressing problems facing the league than a meaningless postseason exhibition game.
He’s also understandably ornery because his favorite team, the New England Patriots, do not have a pick tonight as a result of Deflategate penalties.
