Why shouldn't Goodell get fined??

Godhell should lose his job over this because the owners have to be upset about the way this has been handled.

"If" the owners were "upset" during any part of this they could have stopped it or replaced him right then and there.

Goodell is not going to lose his job over this.
Goodell is not going to be fined for overreacting on player suspensions.
Tagliabue was called in to save face for the front office because they were about to be DESTROYED in the civil lawsuit (and NO trolls, the NFL would not have destroyed Vilma in the appeals court because they probably would not have accepted the case; and NO trolls, Judge Berrigan is a federal judge who is NOT elected to office, so it's no "homer" ruling - it's federal court - this isn't My Cousin Vinny)
Read what Tagliabue said. He blamed it ALL on the coaches and exonerated the players, but Tags went out his way to explain his belief in a Bounty thing WITHOUT evidence coming to light.
Biggest travesty here is the NFL pushes heat of the players and players union off their backs and the EVIDENCE STILL HAS NEVER SEEN THE DAY OF LIGHT.
Goodell will ALWAYS turn to Tagliabue's ruling and reference that as his proof of a bounty, when no proof or evidence has ever been shown.

On a separate note, Tom Benson and Jerry Jones are NOT buddies, rather they are rivals. And YES we can all thank Jones for helping to kick Benson in the nads for trying to move the team to San Antonio - not because Jones is a great guy, rather another team in his backyard further hurts sales of merchandise and crap for his beloved Cowgirls.

Not fined........FIRED.

At the very minimum, I think that the players at least respected Rozelle and Tagliabue. I don't think they feel the same about Goodell.

He should.

Yeah, sorry have to agree. When ever a corporation is mishandled and legal proceeding begin, it is common, if not standard, for the board of directors to do a investigation of the CEO and the allegations.

A investigation should be started on Goodells investigation and the steps they took, as well as the lawyers involved. Its in the best interest of the NFL to find out why the lawyers clearly messed things up, and Goodell as well.

Then he and they should be fined or fired on the outcome. Never happen though,because they would look bad.

The catch here pherein is that the owners do not need to do an investigation. They did not wake up one morning and find a train wreck, they watched the entire train wreck happen from start to finish and did nothing to stop it. So its either incompetence on the Owners or they agreed with what transpired.
