I wonder which owner it was that told him that, or something to that effect anyway. Jerrah? The Great Roger Goodell Himself Live and In Person?

If everything is as scripted as it certainly feels sometimes, then Benson has known for a while how this whole thing was gonna play out, cause its his $$ on the line as well
I am kind of with you on this, things in this league have seem scripted.

But its been like this before Goodell and to me its felt like this since the late 90s after the NFL put the Salary caps in place the way they have.

Re: Goodell's Accountability

Guess you are right about the owner's being complicit with this whole deal and you are right I hate the man and want to see him out. Should know it is all about the money and greed. Anyway I hope all of the owners gain very little from this and get hammered. Shame the game and our season had to be compromised because of this, Speaks volumes about the real motives and lack of integrity of the NFL and their owners.

Hopefully Tom is sitting back, "taking one for the team", knowing that Goodell will be "taking one for the team" as well, when they fire his opie looking arse!

If we get the pick back they will announce it just before the championship hip games IMO.They will want to pacify the fans and they will want to time it right.

Owners or no owners, Goodell is a jackhole. He is weak if he allowed the owners to create and impose the punishments without proper evidence. Or if he created and imposed the punishments on his own (perhaps with owner approval), then he has terrible judgement. Again, either way, he's a jackhole.

Godhell is making the owners more money than ever. He's golden unless Vilma keeps this thing going for a whole lot longer.

Re: Goodell's Accountability

Attendance has been at a steady decline since he took over. Not a big deal with the TV contracts but certainly don't want to be panning out to huge voids of empty seats. He has also lost some battles that cost the owners...the refs, the suspensions, and there may be more to come. Add the extra bodyguards, it starts adding up to ten of millions, maybe more before it's all said and done. I know he's a projection of them but if he loses the defamation case they are going to start thinking hard about moving on.
