Is Goodell coming to New Orleans

JimmyB1775 · 08-02-2012, 11:00 AM

I'm seeing stuff where he's showing up to all the different training camps around this time. He wouldn't dare show up in Metarie, would he?

Probably not, but he has to show up for the Superbowl

I hope he enjoys the special spices in his food!

Actually I was wondering if by some chance it is ruled Goodell made grievous errors regarding the Saints and the Saints are in the SB would he in fact show up. I'd have to think it would be an ill advised move from a PR standpoint. Someone handing you a trophy who caused so much grief just doesn't seem appropriate considering the applause would be drowned out by boos and heckling.

IF and a big if ...

Goodell would be under extreme pressure to step down as commissioner. The media is still on his and the leagues side because they would rather report on the jets and manning than look at the 'bounty' issues and the lack of evidence. However, if the court decision is favorable to the Saints and Vilma it will force the media to examine everything much more and perhaps do their job as reporters.

Why do you guys think that this whole bounty thing was about Goodell attacking the Saints? The Saints were just used as an example to show the rest of the league that any bounty programs in the NFL will not be tolerated.

Heck if the Falcons are doing anything like that, I would want anybody involved in it our who knew about it and did nothing to stop it, gone for a year. Especially because of what I've seen happen to the Saints.

You mean to tell me that if your head coach and the leader of your defense got suspended for a whole year without seeing an inkling of evidence to justify such a harsh punishment you would embrace it and be ok with it? You and the rest of the NFL fans just don't get it. There is no one on here who will say that we shouldn't be punished. We were told to stop and didn't. We are not arguing that fact. What we are upset about is that this whole thing is being painted as a "bounty" to purposely injure players for money. Until we see evidence to prove that is what was going on then we have no other reason to think that it was nothing more than a "pay-for-performance" program run by every other team in the league for years. Most on here don't feel Goodell singled out the Saints just because it's the Saints. But if he's going to take the power given to him by the CBA and abuse it like he has in this instance then other teams need to stand up and take notice because I have a feeling he isn't going to stop here. So the rest of you need to look out because he is obviously a power hungry individual who has to be in total and complete control. If nothing comes out of our fight for true justice and Goodell gets of scott free then there will be no stopping him. Just watch and see. f
