DALLAS -- He spoke for 47 minutes, and to hear NFL commissioner Roger Goodell tell it on Friday inside the Sheraton Conference and Exposition Center, up is down, the cow really did jump over the moon and "American Idol" will get replaced by "I Love Lucy" reruns.I mean, what was that?
"We have to get beyond this negotiating ploy of opening the books, because that's all it is," said Goodell, with his interpretation of what the players want the owners to do during negotiations for a new labor deal. In other words, the commissioner was insulting the intelligence of everybody listening to his State of the NFL Address.
Of course, the owners should allow the players to see how much red as opposed to black is causing the owners to threaten a lockout.
That is, if there is a lot of red.
Said Goodell, shrugging at the podium while adding, "The players have more than sufficient information to understand why the economics of this (old) deal does not work."
They do? So why are they saying the opposite?
