I agree with his goals, I don't agree with his authoritarian methodology. If he had a more transparent, democratic process with room for appeal, then I would totally approve.

He gets points for punishing Jim Tressel....now if he would just smack Pete{I AM Outta Here } Carroll ..with a suspension...i would really give him a stamp of approval..

I approve. The NFL is a brand. It makes lots of money for everyone involved. Of course the players don't like being disciplined. They are wealthy and have been told from an early age how special and grand they are. They naturally feel they are above the law. They are not. On the player safety issue, there's no way the players were going to make the game safer themselves. Someone had to step in. Sooner or later the way the game was headed, with the size and speed of todays players, someone was literally going to be killed on the field. Fines for helmet to helmet hits and launching at other players had to be high to get the point across. However, there is one thing I'm not a fan of and it's how the penalities are being enforced against "defenseless recievers." I've seen too many plays where the ball and defender arrived very close together where no helmet to helmet or launching took place and the defender was still penalized. That's football. Hopefully, they will address it as the season goes along or in the offseason the same way they stopped penalizing defenders when the QB's head was barely touched or grazed during a play.

I had never voted in this poll. I just broke the tie. I honestly never did care for Goodell.

I didn't like his stance during the lockout. He was all about the owners only. As a commish, he should've been representing us and the players as well. We wouldn't have even seen a lockout with a real commissioner.

Goodell is a good commissioner; part of the problem was that Tagliabue gave way too much to the union so that he could maintain his "record" rather than what was best for the league...Goodell just took the position of moving things back to the middle...

I'd give him the thumbs up.

I really like him. Cleaning up the leauges image is very important. I think he has the apropriate powers since really he is the power of the 32 owners combined.
