\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Snerdley says, “By the way, you got that FSU quarterback suspended for the whole game.”<\/p>\n

I said, “What do you mean?”<\/p>\n

“You commenting on it and how silly it was that he gets suspended for the half. You\u2019re the one that forced them to suspend him for the whole game.”<\/line><\/p>\n

See, I don\u2019t think in those terms. You can sit in there and think that what is said on this program can affect the policy of major institution. I do not allow myself. That would be… You know what? <\/line>To get caught up in that, that would be the height of arrogance and false presumption, and I don\u2019t go there. I tell you what, I… (interruption) Well, I don\u2019t know. There had to be a lot of people making fun of FSU for suspending the guy for the first half. <\/line><\/p>\n

There had to be a whole lot of people. (interruption) There weren\u2019t? (interruption) Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I see. You think because I predicted he\u2019d get a standing O,<\/a> that\u2019s what did it. All right. Okay. So Snerdley thinks the administration at FSU said, “No, we don\u2019t want this guy getting a standing O.” Still, that would be the height of arrogance. <\/p>\n

Just a couple things since you brought up football. A couple things about the NFL. You know, Goodell had his press conference on Friday, and do you know what we learned, by the way? We learned that the sports Drive-Bys know how to conduct a press conference. The news guys have forgotten how, since Obama became president. The sports guys know how to do it.<\/line><\/p>\n

The sports guys want Goodell\u2019s scalp. I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s amazing. I have been listening to some of these sports guys. I have been reading some of these sports Drive-Bys. Even some of the former players. They want this guy canned. They want Goodell gone. It is amazing to hear. It is so knee-jerk. Some of it\u2019s filled with literal hatred for the guy, and they are not gonna stop until they get the guy gone. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think he\u2019s gonna go anywhere. The league is making too much money. Anyway, I\u2019ll get into the details of that in a second, but they did a press conference on Friday. The way press conferences of presidents used to be. Here\u2019s a guy in authority, in power, and these sports Drive-Bys hit him with every hypocritical thing he\u2019s said. They hit him with everything they think is a lie.<\/p>\n

They tried to trip him up every which way from Sunday, and it was not a good performance for Goodell. I\u2019m watching this and I said, “You know, we haven\u2019t seen one of these since George W. Bush was president.” Well, we haven\u2019t. We have forgotten what a genuine media press conference, White House press conference used to look like. Now they are just fawning, bootlicking sessions. <\/p>\n

We have some audio sound bite from this coming up in the program, and I will tell you about it, or play them for you. Joe Biden. It was announced that one of the women that Goodell is hiring to help get the NFL front office shipshape is Cynthia Hogan. She\u2019s the former Biden staffer, if you\u2019ll recall. So Biden was out there over the weekend. She was with one of his aides when he ran the Judiciary Committee.<\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s when he was trying to destroy people like Clarence Thomas and Alito and Roberts and all. That\u2019s where she worked for him. Biden said, “The NFL ain\u2019t seen nothing yet. They have no idea what they just bought into.” Now, what does that tell you? That this is, of course, political; that all of this is been seized on by the Democrat Party and leftist operatives as an opportunity to advance their agenda. <\/p>\n

This is kind of — I don\u2019t know what you\u2019d call it — threatening? The NFL ain\u2019t seen nothing yet, they have no idea what they just bought into, and now Chuck Hagel is asking his staff at the Pentagon to look into the military\u2019s relationship with the NFL so that they can perhaps sever it. Yeah, there\u2019s so much violence in the NFL (chuckling) it\u2019s not looking good for the military to be associated with it.<\/p>\n

Secretary Chuck Hagel is asking for information about military ties to the NFL. He\u2019s asking his staff for detailed information about the relationships in the wake of all these scandals. You see, he\u2019s supposed to be fighting Obama\u2019s war, but they\u2019ve gotta take time from fighting Obama\u2019s war (which he doesn\u2019t really care that much about anyway) and make sure they get in on the political movement of the day.<\/p>\n

That is whatever they can move in their agenda tying to the NFL spouse abuse scandal. It says here in this CNN report, “The military has a zero-tolerance policy in the ranks for domestic abuse, but it also has a high-profile relationship with the NFL that goes back decades. Any Pentagon action to cut back support for the NFL would be the most direct involvement by the [Regime] yet in the scandal.<\/p>\n

“The Army alone spends some $10 million a year buying advertising from television networks broadcasting NFL games. Games are also broadcast by the Armed Forces Network to troops deployed overseas.” I have a friend of mine in Kansas who said he had a bunch of Millennials in his house yesterday watching football. He has a daughter who\u2019s 24, and a bunch of her friends came over and the football game was on.<\/p>\n

So he decided to go in there and do a quick focus group survey, 24\/25-year-old women. So he starts talking to \u2019em about what\u2019s going on in the NFL and the various scandals. He said, “What do you think the NFL needs to do to prove that they really care about you and want you as a fan?” He said one of the 24-year-olds, Millennials said, “Look, if the NFL wants to prove they care about women, why don\u2019t they start with getting rid of the cheerleaders? And if they\u2019re gonna keep the cheerleaders…”<\/p>\n

Now, wait a minute. “If they\u2019re gonna keep the cheerleaders, make them more collegiate. These pro cheerleaders look more like strippers or pole dancers than cheerleaders.” So here\u2019s a 24-year-old woman who thinks the NFL is objectifying women by having scantily clad pole-dancer types as cheerleaders. So the next question was, “Well, what do you think about the players wearing pink to show their support for breast cancer research?” <\/p>\n

Another 24-year-old female Millennial said, “That\u2019s silly. Just make a contribution. It\u2019s stupid. Why go through that? If you\u2019re in it, live it. Screw the symbolism. Make a donation and publicize how much and actually do something. How much does a guy wearing pink shoelaces actually do for breast cancer?” I thought that was pretty sensible. I mean, what a concept. Own who and what you are. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, Roger Goodell faced the media — the sports media — on Friday, right after this program. Barack Obama has not undergone one press conference like this probably in his life, but certainly not since 2008. If he had, if he had undergone a press conference like Goodell did, he might not have been elected. Now, I cannot go back in time and predict a new future.<\/p>\n

But he\u2019s never been vetted, never been grilled, never been challenged. Goodell was, and I think it\u2019s useful to remind people that may not know what a media press conference used to be like. So we have here, let\u2019s see… It\u2019s a montage to start of reporters from NBC, CNN, CBS, the New York Post, and ABC all with questions for Goodell.<\/p>\n

PETER ALEXANDER: If any of these victims had been someone you love, would you be satisfied with the way the league has handled this crisis and what would you say to them?<\/line><\/p>\n

RACHEL NICHOLS: You\u2019ve gotten it wrong in a few cases, and that tends to happen when there\u2019s no checks and balances. How willing are you to give up some of that power?<\/p>\n

SHARYN ALFONSI: Have you considered resigning?<\/p>\n

BART HUBBUCH: Why do you feel like you should be able to continue in this role?<\/p>\n

AARON KATERSKY: I wondered if you, personally, have ever been involved in an abuse situation in any capacity.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Can you imagine? Not one question even approaching anything like that has been asked of Obama, and there have been numerous occasions where there could have been plenty, like Benghazi. “How willing are you? Have you considered resigning? Why do you feel like you should be able to continue in the role? You\u2019ve gotten it wrong in a few cases like … everything. Obamacare.”<\/p>\n

There\u2019s none of this. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Goodell. <\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s add TMZ to this, to the White House briefing. <\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t have their guy in the montage. If we added TMZ, we might have found out by now where Obama was on the night of the Benghazi attack. This is TMZ video journalist and stand-up comedian Adam Glyn, and he\u2019s at the Goodell press conference. He said, “I have to go back into the video and your curiosity to see the video. You suspended Ray Rice after our video at TMZ. Why didn\u2019t you have the curiosity to go to the casino yourself and get the video yourself instead of waiting for us?”<\/p>\n

GOODELL: We have to be very cautious in not interfering with a criminal investigation, but we\u2019ll evaluate that. Should we do more to get that information? I would have loved to have seen that tape. Should we do more to get that information in the future? That\u2019s a question I want —<\/p>\n

GLYN: Mr. Commissioner, we —<\/p>\n

GOODELL: — these experts to do.<\/p>\n

GLYN: We found by one phone call. You guys have a whole legal department. Can you explain that? We found out by just one phone call.<\/p>\n

GOODELL: I can\u2019t explain how you got the information. Only you can do that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I know what some of you are thinking. “Wait a minute, Rush! Goodell\u2019s not the president, and the NFL\u2019s coming under unfair assault here.” In the sense that the cases, the incidents of spouse abuse, domestic violence and all that in the NFL are 13% below the national average, that is true. But, again, the media is the media. The media doesn\u2019t care about that. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve got blood in the water, and when the media sees blood they\u2019re like a bunch of sharks, except when it comes to Democrat presidents. Now, Goodell has been one of the best politically correct commissioners in any sport ever, and look what it bought him: Nothing. They smell blood in the water. I\u2019m not playing these because I have an animus for Goodell. That\u2019s not the point. If I did or didn\u2019t, it doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

This is simply an illustration of how the media used to act. The last time they did things like this was with George W. Bush, pounding him for an hour at one press conference to admit just a single mistake. “Everybody makes mistakes, Mr. President. Have you made any?” Bush knew what was on, and he wouldn\u2019t bite. But that\u2019s the role. If you are in a position of power, that\u2019s one of the things you know is coming. <\/p>\n

<\/a>It\u2019s the league you play in. So I\u2019m not doing this to arouse sympathy for Goodell, and you could get mad and say, “These guys are unprofessional and they\u2019re boring in and it\u2019s unnecessary and they\u2019re trying to destroy him,” all of which is true. But it isn\u2019t true with Democrat politicians, and that\u2019s just the whole point. Now, George Will on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. <\/p>\n

Chris Wallace said, “George, you\u2019re close to Major League Baseball. How do you think NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has handled this? And your sense of this, does he survive?”<\/p>\n

WILL: He will survive. He\u2019s handled it terribly and it doesn\u2019t matter. Last week\u2019s three most viewed television programs were Sunday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, and Monday Night Football. And money talks and will continue to talk. And this will pass over, and football will go on its merry way. I happen to believe the problem with football is FOOTBALL! Which is to say it is merchandising, consciously, violence. And some of it spills over.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, if you\u2019re casually listening, that\u2019s the kind of thing that might makes sense, but again the statistics don\u2019t bear that out. I contend, as I said last week, there\u2019s something about professional athletes, folks, that is true and it\u2019s universal. I don\u2019t care basketball, football, soccer, tennis, you name it. An athlete who is a professional, guaranteed exhibited the talent by age 11 or 12. Particularly in baseball, maybe tennis. <\/p>\n

From the moment a child athlete is thought to have the potential to go far, that child is immediately treated like a king. It\u2019s just cultural. (There\u2019s that word again.) They are coddled; they are protected. The way is paved for them, sometimes by their parents, because it is the silk road if they can get there. I mean, it\u2019s big bucks. It\u2019s stardom, it\u2019s royalty, it\u2019s fame. They don\u2019t face common, ordinary, everyday discipline except in rare exceptions. <\/p>\n

My contention is, even though all these guys come out of college, the NFL is the first formal discipline they ever really encounter. It doesn\u2019t matter what race. There are some different cultural things there, of course. But I\u2019m talking about the discipline at the team facility, what is necessary to make the team. Now, granted if somebody is a superstar and a reprobate they overlook the reprobate and it comes back to haunt them later. <\/p>\n

Nothing\u2019s ever perfect here. But the idea that the behavior in the NFL — the spouse abuse — is directly relatable to the violence in the game, that\u2019s what\u2019s not borne out by the statistics. It\u2019s the exact opposite. The instance of spousal abuse is only 13% in the NFL what it is in the population the large, for example.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You want to hear something that\u2019s funny? It\u2019s funny if you have a certain level of understanding about this NFL thing. If you don\u2019t, it might not be funny, and I don\u2019t have time to tell you why it\u2019s funny if you don\u2019t know. So this is for those of you who do. It\u2019s Ray Lewis on ESPN\u2019s Sunday NFL Countdown yesterday talking about the Ray Rice situation with Baltimore Ravens and the NFL.<\/p>\n

LEWIS: We\u2019re here for one reason and one reason only. We\u2019re here for domestic violence. We\u2019re here because we saw a friend of mine brutally hit his wife in the face in an elevator. There\u2019s some things you can cover up and then there\u2019s some things you can\u2019t. Right now it\u2019s a sad day for me, because the reputation that I left in this organization, this isn\u2019t it. This isn\u2019t it. What was built that many of years took hard work to get that, took a hell of a reputation to — to put on the line. Ray Rice put a lot of people at jeopardy with his actions. A lot of people at jeopardy, not just himself.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So Ray Lewis says, “We\u2019re here…” meaning the crew on ESPN talking about this. “We\u2019re here for domestic violence.” No, you\u2019re there for an NFL pregame show. You happen to be talking about domestic violence today. But then he says he did so much to build up his reputation, and the Ravens\u2019 reputation, and it\u2019s a sad day, \u2019cause he left that organization with the greatest reputation.<\/p>\n

And this Ray Rice thing, that isn\u2019t it, and what was built there many years took hard work, hell of a reputation to put on the line. So Ray Rice has destroyed everybody\u2019s reputation. (interruption) Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. (interruption) They don\u2019t bring it up. Well, they did on the first day. They did on the first day and he sai, “Nah, nah, nah. You can\u2019t compare that. It\u2019s night and day. What Ray did and I did, you can\u2019t go there. No, no. It\u2019s not the same. Oh, no, no, no.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the only time anybody brought it up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
