Whereas it’s amusing to think about the NFL working as some KGB-esque cultural company with that sort of pull, it’s additionally unlikely as hell until Goodell has been pretending to be a socially inept punching bag.

The Commish doubtless heard earlier than the remainder of us and goes to excessive lengths to maintain Travis from upending their escalation plans for subsequent season.
Promising her the Tremendous Bowl 59 Halftime Present. Swift introduced she has an album popping out this 12 months, so what higher time to consummate her relationship with the NFL on its greatest stage.
