The fact is, he believes that another team from another city could bring in more money for the NFL. If anyone things it something other than money, they're sadly mistaken.

I think the owners agree with Goodell and have let him have his way on this.
I also believe, as mentioned before, Bountygate kills 2 birds with 1 stone:
1) limits Saints ability to make the Superbowl
2) gives NFL "dandy" PR and fuel in their lawsuits that are PILING up against them from former players who have suffered concussion injuries where the NFL knew from studies years ago that concussive injuries would have long term affects.

The NFL buried those studies. That's just how they roll.
The league has proven itself dishonest.
