I don't doubt for a second that the commissioner has a huge influence on what stories run on ESPN.
Well I guess this all but confirms that Goodell is gay for Tim Tebow

Could be putting pressure on Benson to get the guys to back off. I for one hope it is Benson telling him to stay out of his business

Per ESPN:
If Goodell knows what's best for him he'll figure out a way to make this right with Benson. Tom is one of the highest tenured and well-liked owners in the league and last time I checked, Goodell works for the the owners. If Ole Tom wants to, he can get the owners on his side and make Goodell's life a living hell.

New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson spent Tuesday morning discussing his team's embattled offseason with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in a meeting, according to league sources.
Benson wanted to address the manner in which his team has been treated for its role in an alleged bounty program, at a time when a Louisiana judge is waiting to rule on linebacker Jonathan Vilma's lawsuit against the league, the sources said.
What came out of the meeting is uncertain, but it now has wrapped up, one source confirmed.
The two sides had been working on planning this meeting for a while, and they attempted to get it done last week, before the two sides' busy schedules interfered.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined to confirm the commissioner's meeting with Benson and added that Goodell meets and talks with owners all the time on a wide range of issues.

Well, I am 100 percent convinced that it wasn't an accident that he waited to announce the first punishment until 5 minutes after the Tebow trade went down. Bury the lead. Everybody blew off the story for a week until after Tebow's first press conference, and by then Goodell had firm control of the issue and the talking points.
Remember, this is the same guy who didn't announce the player suspensions were upheld until like 4:30 ET the day before July 4 so that that story would get buried too.
Everything Goodell does is PR hack calculated.
