Roger Goodell Tested by Adam "Pacman" Jones' Disregard of Roger Goodell
10/09/2008
I'm a Pisces. I'm an American, a curmudgeon, bug-a-boo, minimally invasive, banal, neat, staid, flummoxed, cocktoastin’, tall, effete, meaty, short, licentious, Pyrrhonian, buttocked, askance, live, overt, covert, stain-resistant, lost, dumb, reality-based, nonporous, kindly, septuagenarian meddling teenager.
Apparently he is someone who demands respect. Or craves it. Can't tell.

I know what you mean. He is indeed the Roger Goodell of all commissioners, and that's saying something.

Hey again,
I hope the new headline is amenable to you, because I think it sets up readers to be in on the joke a little easier. The poll does, too, which is something I hadn't seen before because it doesn't appear in the Editor Queue.
Now I actually think it works pretty well as a zany humor piece. I think it just took me off-guard last time. You wouldn't believe how many people write out full names every time they mention a player, a coach, or a Roger Goodell.

Jeff,
Didn't realize it was your first article. You may revert the changes back.
In all honesty it was very funny, but only after I thought you had lost your mind or smoked something nasty before posting. I think people will think it's funny, but by the time I figured out your intent I had already edited out all the Roger Goodells, and the article was actually a pretty well-written update without them.
As for the tags, you may type in anything in the box and if there is a tag in the system it will come up. Give it a go.
Editorials and humor pieces are valued over breaking news and game recaps here, so in retrospect I should have restored it and re-edited it. I think it would work a lot better if it indicated early on that it was to be a silly article.
