Goodell's Accountability

JPPT1974 · 12-16-2012, 08:59 PM

A victim my rear end. As Goodell is really ruining the game for a lot of people, including me. As he really needs to know who to suspend like with drugs, violence, etc. And not whom to suspend. To eliminate stuff like kickoffs as that would make the game less exciting!

A victim my rear end! Goodell is a joke!

Bounty Gate was a convenient lightning rod for the league. The lawsuits over concussions were looming on the horizon. The NFL had to do something to give the "world" the impression they were concerned about player safety. Enter the Greg Williams and his traveling bounty circus and presto!!! Just what the doctor ordered!!

Who is the owners behind it?

Which are the main culprits?

my guess is owners of the big market teams pulling the strings, someone like Jerry Jones.

From experience its not 2 or 3... Its not 5 or 11 it is at a bare minimum 17 owners. Majority vote is the only way things happen, this prevents rogue owners or small pockets of owners from doing their own thing.

Also trust me on this.... NO vote is called before the group knows the out come before hand.

It is stated here also...
2011 NFL lockout -- Owners, players come to deal on all points, sources say - ESPN

"Just as the NFL would not have called a vote Thursday in Atlanta without knowing it would pass in the way it did -- 31-0 with one abstention"

I do not think Roger was directed by the owners to do this. At best he sent them misinformation to get them to go along with this under the guise of player safety and to hopefully get some concessions after all the law suits come to the courts. Even then I think it will have little impact on the cases that are pending. Goodell did this out of malice for the Saints organization and for some personal reasons that we may never know. I am just hopefull that enough stick will come off of this that the owners will have to make a move. Even then this man will get a golden parachute that He does not deserve but at least I would not have to look at His face again.

So you think the NFL Owners are dolts? Think they would be lead down a path such as we have seen by one man?

Your telling me that people like Jerry Jones, Author Blank, Steve Biscoitti, Robert McNair... Peoples who net worth exceed $1B would just let Roger Goodell just play with their billion dollar franchises? or their +100B league?

No Sir... These are not men with a normal to high gullibility factor. They knew, and they have had the power to put the brakes on it each and every day since it started.

Don't let your hatred for Goodell lead you to think he pulled this all off by him self.

I wish I could have been in the meeting where Benson was told he was gonna have to take one for the team this time.

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 suspect... Or the way I would have framed it would be like this.
note: When you sit around billionaires you give them the dirty... they are smart enough to figure the rest out.

"Here is the dirty Tom, take one for the shield quietly so we have at least SOMETHING to fight lawsuits with, or leave us with nothing and eventually lose the 978mm value of your team in the long run".. "and go back to selling cars"

"yea... that... the vote.... so far Tom I suppose the count would be 31-1 in our favor"

"I agree this is just like being in prison, you can take it quietly or you can scream.. either way, you are getting it dry".

"If you take it quietly I am sure we can all spare a contribution to your cause".

New Orleans Saints on the Forbes NFL Team Valuations List

All 31 teams owners have broken it off in someones arse to get where they are and KNOW how the game is played. (Packers are publicly owned)

War is not as brutal and bloody as big business.

I dunno about the Packers being publicly owned. I think all of that was Grade A Fraud.

But now going back to the Owners, one would question also this..........how much influence does Coaches and Staff have on the Owners of a team?

I venture to say plenty.

Other than a follow-up trip to NY by himself (which still puzzles me, mainly WHY and WHAT came of it), Benson has kept very quiet about this, and other than playing a concert with a pretty high-profile musician who was wearing a "Free Sean Payton" shirt, Sean and Mickey have kept their heads down and quiet. If that's not following what The Great Roger Goodell Himself Live and In Person told them to do from the get-go, I don't know what is.

tl;dr - I'm not holding my breath that we get our 2nd rounder back, but its hard to argue that Benson, Loomis, and Payton haven't kept a respectable silence about this whole debacle/charade, as directed by rog 5 months ago
