Goodell is about self-preservation. For himself, for the league and the owners who ensure he remains in power ultimately returning billions on their investments.

His unilateral decision to levy unprecedented sanctions on the Saints franchise was proof enough of that.

Sean Payton challenged Goodell's authority and his motivation. Rightfully so. To us as fans it feels like we're always slighted because - speaking for myself - there wasn't justification for the heavy penalties.

I'm sure there's no love loss between the two but Goodell is nothing more than a corporate mouthpiece. He doesn't gain anything from orchestrating diabolical, multi-level schemes to defraud games through improbable plays.

He's just a dIck.
