of course the Raiders’ starting QB gets hurt right before a primetime matchup vs the Falcons so now they’re starting Desmond Ridder #league #rigged #goodell
Weird to watch a Commissioner open the Draft without getting booed. #NBADraft #Goodell

Players on the field were told to warm up
But confusion had filled the cup
ESPN declared it was five minutes after
As Commissioner Goodell sought an answer

After Damar Hamlin’s Collapse, Who Told Bengals and Bills Players to Warm Up?

ESPN told viewers that players were given five minutes to warm up after Hamlin was taken off the field. The N.F.L. denied that. On Sunday, Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the question.

@trebach Agreed! I wish he would retire as well. But he’s not leaving without making a big production out of it.
#Rogers will announce his retirement early the off season. You see this gives #goodell and the #NFL time to plan his “Farewell Tour” 🙄.
They’ll rearrange the schedule so that:
More than 50% of #GreenBay games are in prime time
We’ll have to endure highlight reels every pregame
And #StephenA will praise that “Baaaaaad Man” Ad nauseam every single Monday morning. 🤮
Jumping on my soap box here:
How despicable is it that tonight’s Bills/Bengals game needed the two coaches to approach the officials and say “we aren’t playing” after the #DamarHamlin injury? #Goodell is a spineless commissioner who only cares about making money for the #NFL at all costs. At what point does a players life matter more than the game itself?!?! It took far too long to postpone this game. Shame on the #NFL.
