Lets hope we get more favorable treatment on suspensions and scheduling going forward.

Besides Goodell though, there are also the refs. To some degree I think the refs take subtle queues from Goodell if they want promotions to head of officiating etc, but at the same time I think the refs have their own grudges. Unfortunately, making a deal with Goodell on Thursday Night flex is unlikely to totally solve the refs grudes against us for not respecting their authority in 2018 and booing them a lot since then.

Interesting thought Bako. And certainly not out of the realm of possibilities.

I'm thinking Goodell the 3 game suspension might in part be a middle finger to Payton. You know Payton is thinking if he were here it would have been longer.
It's going to be interesting to see if all that “Goodell hate” follows him to Denver.

Edit
I'm sure Guido is scripting some contrary post as I write this edit but it does make you think

All valid points. We should quietly monitor if this comes to fruition. We're all going to keep an eye on what SP does and how he's treated as he now coaches in the mile high city.

Oh, he's so screwed! Godhell hates Payton, the non conformist, who refuses to kneel before him or kiss the ring. Gayle seems to be walking the fine line between calling him out, after baselessly fining Cam and the Saints for faking an injury, and voting for Thursday night games or whatever the shields agenda is at the moment(depending on law suits).
