Several Awkward Moments at Radio City Music Hall Already

NFL Network has Brian Billick, former Ravens coach, as a commentator throughout this process. He was recently talking about why they allowed Brady Quinn to slip and not trade up for him by saying that he doesn't think Ozzie Newsome (Ravens GM) would something like. He then explained that he didn't think Newsome would fire him either. Awkward chuckles followed

Marshall Faulk also called Roger Goodell 'commish.' Upon explaining this comment by saying "we're tight like that" Goodell responded with "that's correct." Nice.

The NFL Network team is actually doing a great job here. They asked Goodell that if all the player salaries are coming out of the same pot, why would the union be opposed to capping them, since big rookie contracts cost veterans money. Goodell didn't really have a good answer for that, which either indicates that nobody's talking about this (which they should), or there's something else going on. Generic stuff on how the time between draft picks have been shortened followed.
