It's official. The commish is coming to town!

DetroitLions.com has a few more details.

Goodell will meet with a group of Lions season ticket holders through a special invite for a question-and-answer session before the game.

Oooo, a special invite!
Like a Willy Wonka Golden Ticket, I presume...

The last time Goodell graced the Lions with his presence was back in 2009, at an open to the fans training camp workout at Ford Field.

With all that has gone down with the Lions over the past few weeks, with personal fouls, fines and suspensions being thrown around like yellow flags at Ndamukong Suh, I'd imagine season ticket holders will have plenty on their minds. 

I can imagine the exchange would go something like this..

Who knew the NFL Commissioner looked like a member of Monty Python?
Or Lions fans are the spitting image of upper class twits?

Goodell to Lions season ticket holders: Any questions?

Lions fan: Woah! Eh? Wo-oah! Eh?

Goodell: I beg your pardon?

Lions fan: I like that. That's good. A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh?

Goodell: Look, are you insinuating something?

Lions fan: Oh...no...no...Yes.

Goodell: Well?

Lions fan: So the refereeing fix is in? Nudge nudge wink wink say no more say no more.

Unfortunately, what I imagine won't happen.

Controversial questions are Goodell's kryptonite. All questions will be vetted beforehand, the commissioner will answer a handful of softballs, and that, as they say, will be that. 

In other words, the visit is much ado about nothing. In the NFL, appearances mean far more than actual substance.
