The folks at KING-TV in Seattle sent a camera along with the party of mountaineers who reached the 14,411-foot summit of Mt. Rainier on Wednesday.
The video is, to say the least, impressive.
You can watch it right here.
In a brief interview with Paul Silvi of KING, who also made the climb, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell explained the feat.
“I’ve never been pushed that hard, both physically and emotionally, and probably mentally,” Goodell said. ”You have to overcome your fear and you have to overcome your doubts of whether you can do it.”
Goodell’s climbing party included Seahawks coach Jim Mora and Seahawks CEO Tod Leiweke. The group raised nearly $400,000 for the local United Way.
“I enjoyed every step of it,” Mora said at the top, noting that the group was still “only halfway there.”
You know, we hadn’t thought about getting back down.
Maybe they should just install a Super Fun Happy Slide.

Ok – get ready – here come the pac-man jokes…
“I’ve never been pushed that hard, both physically and emotionally….”
That’s what she said.
Ok, now maybe you can rule on your indefinite suspensions.
In rememberance of Steve McNair he parasailed down from the summit…
No need to install a Super Fun Happy Slide, you put on rain gear and slide down the mountain… using your ice pick as your break. It’s quite fun after an exhausting hike.
8 hours? Is that all the longer it took? More like a long hike up a steep hill.
Why is this news?
It’s 8 hours starting from the +-12,000 foot level…
push hard on fixing the CBA & bringing the NFL back to #1 spectator status!!! Instead of doing things you have no business doing, you let the NFL fall behind the redneck “sport” NASCAR!!! fix everyting Goodell, fix it now!!!
So he did the bunny hill. Denali would a lot more fun
Maybe this video would have been a more appropriate link from your Super-Slide punchline…

I believe in this case it would more likely be “That’s what he said”.
