President Obama sat down with HBO's Bill Simmons for a lengthy interview published in GQ on Tuesday, and among the numerous topics discussed was NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Simmons, who has been vocal in his criticisms of the commissioner, broached the subject of Goodell by bringing up a hypothetical situation in which three of the major sports leagues were looking for a new commissioner.
Simmons asked Obama whether he would be interested in any of them:
Simmons: Baseball, football, basketball, all the commissioner jobs open up next year. Which one would you want?
Obama: Well, I'm best suited for basketball. But I cannot believe that the commissioner of football gets paid $44 million a year.
