Roger Goodell on Bills, London and more in Twitter Q&A

Published: May 06, 2014 at 08:36 AM

NEW YORK -- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell assumed control of the league's official Twitter account on Tuesday afternoon, answering questions from fans on a variety of topics, including changes to the draft, new league rules, the future of the Bills in Buffalo and the chance of franchises landing in Los Angeles and London.

There was also a response on mutant ducks.

The #AskCommish hashtag trended worldwide during Goodell's entire hour-long session, with 16,000 #AskCommish mentions during that time. People, it seems, have many things to ask the man on 345 Park Avenue.

Here were some of the most interesting answers from the session:

"@KennehV Are you committed to keeping the Bills in Buffalo? #AskCommish "

we want to see the Bills continue to be successful in Western NY

"@bouncerman2k #askcommish why add 4th day to Draft?"

“@dan_Selph: Did you see the new Captain America movie?”

No. I went to @DraftDayMovie
— NFL (@NFL) May 6, 2014

(Note: Goodell had a cameo in "Draft Day." We don't believe Goodell appeared in "Captain America.")

"@RealSlimGrady93: Would you rather fight 1 horse-sized duck OR 100 duck-sized horses? #askcommish"

I'm going to have to duck that question
