the NFL, when it CRASHED!

If you google failure a picture of Roger Goodell come up. As well as George W Bush. Born in New Haven Ct at Yale New Haven hospital. Dam Idiot.

Many of us have been preaching against Roger, even since before all this bounty nonsense, because his method is hard handed and he leads as if he is beyond reproach. I think it's pretty clear Roger does NOT know what is in the best interest of the league. He seems to think slapping players with fines and suspensions and proclaiming that the NFL cares about safety is enough. He's been doing this since his first Congressional hearing and his mantra hasn't changed.

His failure, in my opinion, is his arrogance and his inability to see this is about people as much as it is about money. The NFL was far too heavy-handed when dealing with the players during the negotiations for the latest CBA. The leagues insistence that Roger remain all-powerful is evidence of it's agenda in my opinion.

The NFL had the opportunity to do the right thing a long time ago and might even have reached some sort of settlement with the players and their lawsuit but instead, under Roger's guidance, has chosen the cover-up and catch-up route, but it's far more transparent than he ever imagined, because he too damned arrogant to see it.

For the sake of the NFL and for the game we all love, Roger simply must go. Every time he acts it seems to blow up in his face. At some point (and I think we're beyond it), this trend becomes a real problem and the owners are simply going to HAVE to act. Sooner rather than later is my take...

C'mon Man...

Do the owners vote yearly or how does his "term" in office work?

He just got a contract extension through March 2019. No terms were disclosed.

Through 2019?!

If a couple of these lawsuits go against the NFL and it starts costing the owners serious money, rest assured Roger will be the 'fall-guy' ... just as he tried to make New Orleans the 'fall-guy' in his endeavor to end pay-for-performance in the league ... ah, sweet irony ... perhaps in the future we'll refer to it as 'Goodell-gate' or 'Roger-gate', .

I don't know guys. Those of you who have read my posts know how I feel about the kommisar, but if you think he's bad, try dealing with insurance companies. These things take your money then spend it on 1. themselves, 2. commercials and 3. figuring out how to weasel out of paying you what you've been paying your premiums for. If anything wrecks professional football, it won't be roger Stalin. We'll survive him. It'll be insurance companies.
