Roger Goodell Will Be Questioned Under Oath For The Missed Pass Intereference Call In The NFC Championship
According to the Associated Press: A Louisiana judge has ordered that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and three officials from January’s NFC title game be questioned under oath in September about an infamous “no-call” during January’s NFC title game.
Attorney Antonio LeMon, who filed a lawsuit over the game, says he and league attorneys will pick a mutually agreeable date for depositions in New Orleans — barring any league appeals that might delay or cancel the questioning.
Lemon’s lawsuit seeks $75,000 in damages — to be donated to charity — over the failure to flag a blatant pass interference and roughness penalty against the Los Angeles Rams. The no-call came at a crucial point in the game against the New Orleans Saints. The Rams won and advanced to the Super Bowl.
It is nice to see this judge kick Goodell off his high horse. Hopefully this judge gives Goodell the Tom Brady treatment and orders him to turn over his phone along with all his personal info. It is nice to see that Goodell will have to answer to some of his misdeeds. Unfortunately none of the questioning will be about his shady dealings with players involved with domestic violence or the ideal gas law.

.@nflcommish & the @NFL are supposed to be about “protecting players”….at the very least this non-call was pass interference (Targeting?!?)
This proves that the league cares more about TV market size over player safety.
