He needs to be fined for his talk of owners and players. Don’t coaches get fined for talking of the refs?

(Which is slightly better than zero dollars plus benefits, babe.)

If he were paid $0, they would not be able to give him any benefits.

This is why Steve Jobs gets only $1 as well.

Remember, you get what you pay for.

If Goodell can’t prevent a work stoppage, he’ll be overpaid at $1

Pay me $9.7mill for a year and I’ll work 5 years for $1.

What about his bonuses?

What a joke. What an absurd PR stunt. How does this help? Just to show he is seriously trying to get a deal done? Joke. This man is not smart and things like pushing for 18 games and now this just make me really worry about the future of the sport in his hands. We have seen in baseball what an incompetent commissioner can do to ruin the sport. Don’t think the same thing can’t happen to football under Goodell’s leadership.

That would be one dollar more than his total value! We should fine him for unnecessary softening of the league!

Goodell gets an annual salary? I just sort of assumed he got commission for each Tuesday morning rule clarification.

Deb summed it up best….that is one dollar to much and a severance packcage is what should be in goodells future

I am shocked Goodell earns a salary. He has been on a crusade to ruin the NFL since the 2010 season began.

Hey, Roger: how about instead of reducing your salary to $1, you divide your entire salary amongst stadium workers, vendors and other NFL-related employees who won’t get paid in 2011?

Something tells me you’ll be able to manage for a year or two based on the tens of millions you make annually. Everyone else, not bloody likely.

But hey, way to try and look like a hero in this situation. Do you and Obama go to the same country club?

I’m getting sick and tired of this “he’s only doing this for PR.” crap. Just get this thing done and be over with it.

It’s the average amount the people that believe in him earn right now without unemployment.

Billionaires vs Millionaires take 1.

It doesn’t change that he doesn’t govern fairly. How about he just quit???

I can not get the image out of my mind from the training camps where the players said Rog was unprepared and unable to answer their questions…and this happened at more than one camp. Makes you wonder how he would justify his highly inflated salary of $1 per year.

It’s an empty gesture, but even if it weren’t, it would be far more than he deserves. How about a severance package instead?

They really do think the players are idiots! Immediately after a deal is signed, Goodell and Pash will receive raises/bonuses more than making up the amount they so graciously are willing to forego now.

It is just PR, because once it is done they can obviously compensate them both for the money lost.

Just get the agreement done. A lockout services nobody. Get it done

Goodell and Pash are gonna work for chump change? Yeah, big deal. Goodell, Pash, NFL owners, sponsors, television, media concerns that live that symbiotic life off the NFL, the NFLPA, and the players themselves NEED TO REMEMBER- no fans no money.
Who’s the cash cow here anyway? So boys and here’s a clue 4 you- gits your sorry asses to work and SETTLE THIS NOW! “Lock out?” Don’t try it. Don’t do it.
Golly with Goodell at the controls as the commish, he sort of leaves Pete Rozelle seem palatable.

Goodell’s salary is $9.76M, twice as much as many head coaches, so I guess he’ll be alright.

Nice PR move.

With the way he has been running things, $1 seems kind of high…

That’s more than he deserves considering the way he’s ruining the game
