Roger Goodell Must Go!
 

Sure is a whole lot of hell coming down lately. The "Strike/Lockout" and "SpyGate" and "BountyGate" and now the cap violation or whatever it is the Cowboys and Redskins have done (and maybe us and the Raiders too?). All this crap with former players suing the league 'cause 'dey hurt 'dems wittle selves.

The league is going to hell and it's happening under Goodell's watch.

Maybe it's time for him to step down? What say the masses?

I'll double dare him...

I was a Goodell supporter, until he stated that the bounty news was "earth shattering".

The flag football rules I can understand. The players forced it on him with their safety concerns during the CBA.

I can no longer defend him.

Well I just sent this to ESPN - like they'll actually read it. LOL

You're leaving out the pink Breast Cancer stuff -- nothing wrong with raising money and awareness but a WHOLE MONTH? For ONE charity? Why them and not others?

- destroying the evidence in the Patriots' Spygate so people would not know how badly the extent of the cheating was - helped out his good friend Robert Kraft
- the whole bizness of steering Vick to Philadelphia behind the scenes
- swept the Brett Favre sexual harassment stuff under the table
- the historic lockout and deterioration of relations between players and the league

It's debacle after debacle with this guy!

^ seems we have a very biased commissioner...

he's a turd

I agree, and you have my vote.

Well, unfortunately there's nothing left to do than to wait for the draft day and see him getting booed by the audience once again.

He also puts in orders to change the outcome of games. The Brady "tuck incident. There is evidence he dialed in the call.

The Tuck Rule = worst miss-call ever!

They just extended his contract. He needs to get a life away from football. Yeah, he's going to get booed a whole lot. He'd better get used to it.

Don't forget the Favre Rule. So we can make it all even and nobody gets their feelings hurt.

I have always said and still stand by what I said and that is Roger Goodell is the worst commissioner in NFL history. He needs to be replaced. Before this year started, they said that this was going to be a super year for the salary cap. That it was going to increase dramatically and it didn't. I wonder what happened.

Roger Goodell ... the emperor has no clothes. And he looks like a washed-up porn star.

I must have missed that, because all I remember reading was that the cap was going to increase only in small increments in 2012 and 2013.

But then it's going to jump when the new TV deal revenue is counted towards the overall revenue, which in turn determines the salary budgets and the salary cap.

That new TV deal increases the major TV revenues by about $2B/year from CBS, FOX, NBC, and Disney (ESPN) from 2014 onward.

I'm in on getting rid of Goodell.

I'm a Favre fan. I'm a USM guy and I'm from Mississippi. So that's like being Catholic and rooting for Notre Dame. It's just something that you do. But when he put in the Favre overtime rule; that showed me that the NFL wants some kind of control on who wins a game. The Brady tuck rule falls under this as well.

Ken Lay had to go down for everything that happened at Enron under his watch..

Goodell should go down for everything that has happened in the NFL under his watch.

They were both charged with the "prevention" of such problems and neither were proactive. Reactivity in both situations does not mean acting once you think something is wrong, reactivity in both situations means acting when an issue goes public and its time for damage controle.

New Orleans should have not been "warned" or "told to stop" in 2009 when Goodell found out about it, they should have been punished then.

Very good post!

I thought he had just got a extension and would be commish until 2019.
I'd love to see him gone as would most fans but while he makes the owners bigger revenue pots through the international expansion I think we are stuck with him.

Never been a fan of Goodell.... I'm all for him being gone... He's killing the game, and smiling all the way to the bank while doing it...........

Goody is taking the "nip it in the bud" stance.
There are 9 more years left on this 10 year deal.
He thinks if he lets them smoke, next they will be drinking.
He is clamping down in an attempt to keep teams and players from purposely
tip-toeing close to the line.
It just feels like he wants to make an example of us.
I just don't want us to end up like Pete Rose.
Cap penalties, draft forfeiture, fines, suspensions...
He may invent something new just for us.

Sport or not, he is an ecexutive charged with a multibillion dollar corporation. He recieves executive compensation, has an executive title and all the perks that go along with it.


His priorities are ass-backwards. Its a sad f-in day when a corporation tucks tail to the media and not its customers (fans). He is going to levy a heavy had against a bounty issue that has in reality been around since the 1970's but there is no puniushment for a team that puts a concussed player back on the field prematurely?


As fans, some of you really need to check your damn sense of priorities if "bounty gate" is more offensive to your delicate sense of humanity than a persons well being.

My guess is that those who are most offended have never known the smell of a locker room, the sound of tape coming off the roll, the adrenaline rush of taking the field, or the sweet smell of a brand new football. Much less the thrill of the fans cheering you after a victory nor the dead scilence of a long bus ride home after a loss.

He's a turd sucker

Now that's nasty.

I want my true feelings to be known. LOL
