How long will Goodall be commish?
 

Is it for life until he retires or is there a set period of time?

I believe it is until The Saints win the Superbowl again...so around 10-11 months.

Until the owners vote again on his contract. It's a very intense process of hiring a new GM so it's unlikely. I said in another thread it's going to be interesting to see what happens. Remember, he's an extension of the owners. He does what they want. Could the bountygate be a tipping point however? We are going to find out.

To answer your question, he's under contract like every other NFL employee. Dispite the harsh penalties and dictator type diplomacy he's is doing an ok job. He worked through labor peace, set the bar for health and safety and is about to garner another lucrative TV deal for the league.

I could tell that you are pissed with him by the title.

How long will Goodall be commish? You know know your pissed with someone when your to frustated to spell there name correctly!!! :smile:

5 .. 4 .... 3 ....2 ..... 1 .... out of here

Until the fans get a say in things.

until this is flag football

Too freaking long!

How long was Qaddafi in power?

I'd say he's stayed beyond his welcome...dude is a tool...

Until the bounty is large enough?

I think he was just given a 5 year extension.

Now, now. No way to be talking about a fellow Who Dat

;)


Clever

He just got a contract extension so I doubt he is going anywhere anytime soon.

Although it's interesting that, Payton and Williams got a massive year suspension, Loomis a half year, and Benson got a small slap-on-the-wrist fine. Guess which ones of those names, get to have an actual up-or-down vote on Goodell's contract?? That's right -- Benson and Loomis, not Payton and Williams. Goodell deliberately gave the weakest penalties to the ones who will affect his own future income, and the strongest penalties to the ones who effectively can't challenge him. Shows you what kind of man Goodell is (ie not very courageous), and really makes one realize how sordid this whole affair is. One has to wonder if the penalties on Payton would have been as severe, if Goodell had not had that contract extension back in January -- plus consider that he knew the Bountygate thing was coming down the pike and waited until after he got his extension, to act upon it. What a standup guy, sticking up righteously for player safety, only after his own wallet and job is protected.

Your right !

I believe the system is jacked up. He should not have that much power. Essentially he is police, judge, jury and supreme court. The owners need to create a "body" other than Goodell that would hear appeals. He'll be there as long as the owners keep voting for him.

looks like the Saintreport trash are trickling in. Go back there with your spelling corrections and ban requests.

If he is anything like obama he may try to stay for ever.
