Roger Goodell’s Hollywood Blitz
Tuesday, May 5, 2026
If you’re keen to catch up on last night’s Met Gala, take a romp through the pomp with a VF point of view, from Lauren Sánchez Bezos’s sly, wry appearance as Madame X to a consideration of bodies (the nipples, the busts, the curves!) on the carpet.
If you’re in the market for a cracking yarn, then I offer Lachlan Cartwright’s profile of longtime NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who is renegotiating the league’s TV rights—meaning every other media mogul is eager to kiss the ring. Lachlan, who also writes the must-read media newsletter Breaker, spoke to Goodell in his midtown NYC office (where, incidentally, Goodell displays kissable rings—every single piece of Super Bowl bling dating back to 1967). But Goodell isn’t the only one on record here; Lachlan spoke to some of the most powerful owners and execs in the business to understand just what makes Goodell a dog that bites hard in the “soap opera” of the NFL, as Cowboys owner Jerry Jones puts it.
