New York Times Sports Reporter Ken Belson Says Goodell Keeps His Job Because He Makes The Owners Money

Ken Belson is a sports reporter for the New York Times who focuses on the business of sports.

Ken joined Ed and Steve to talk about the Ray Rice saga which continues with Ray now searching for a new NFL team after being reinstated.

Ken started by talking about what the ruling on the Rice case says about Roger Goodell "it says he overstepped, it stopped just short of saying he lied...it shows he looked the other way when faced with the facts." As for how Goodell keeps his job in spite of all of this Ken said "he's there because his main job is to make the owners money and at that task he is very good." Ken also talked about the Adrian Peterson situation and how that has been handled and how the NFL looks after these stories have blown up in their face.
