The Super Bowl is just about here, which means it’s time for Roger Goodell’s annual state of the union press conference about all matters surrounding football and the NFL.
The longtime commissioner meets annually with gathered Super Bowl media ahead of the big game as one of his few regular availabilities throughout the calendar year. Reporters usually use this opportunity to pose pressing questions to Goodell about the state of the league and the game itself. This year’s press conference was scheduled for Monday ahead of Super Bowl LX between the Patriots and Seahawks. With it came an opportunity for Goodell to defend NFL referees.
