Roger Goodell was hired to make money for the NFL. He’s done a phenomenal job at that. Keeping the star players on the field helps, that is his reasoning. Some folks wonder why he is so much more in the public with his decisions than previous commissioners. It’s called the Internet. That’s how you got here.

Big deal…
Blank envisioned Bad Newz Vick as a viable quarterback, too.

If he treated every team the same and fairly I might be able to tolerate him more.

The popularity of the NFL has absolutely nothing to do with Roger Goodell.

What? Saddam was from Iraq. Am I missing something? I am not even sure Saddam was ever truly elected anyway. I think Goodell is awesome by the way.

In twenty years the NFL will be a no contact league.

Wait… What??? 30 years if this hypocrite?
Have pitchers and catchers reported yet?
Eff this toolbox and the whole “safer” NFL.

I just might switch to following Curling.
At least their rules stay consistent and they do not have a wishy washy axe wound for a commish.

Plus, there is more legal contact

Goodell did not change 1 rule in the NFL without permission. Goodell did not suspend anyone without permission. Goodell could not wipe his backside without permission. He is merely the mouthpiece for the owners. Washington and Dallas pissed off the other owners, they did not pissoff Goodell. If Mother Teresa was the NFL commissioner the same penalties and rules would have been enacted or she would be fired. He is nothing but a high priced mouthpiece.

Wait till he hits your team or player on your team with some arbitrary punishment, and then lets see how much you like Herr God-dell

umm..the nfl has been the most popular sport for going on 30 years now..that really doesnt have jack to do with goodell..dick chaney could be the commish and the NFL would still be the most popular sport..because of the game and the players that play it and the coaches that coach it..stop kissing goodell butt for stuff he really has NOTHING to do with, like the popularity of the game.

Of course Arthur Blank is happy with Goodell and “his most significant decision” about the penalties on the Saints. Jerry Richardson and Malcolm Glazier are happy too. He weakened a powerful division rival. Why wouldn’t he be happy?

John Mara, Steve Tish, and Jeffrey Lurie are ecstatic too. Not only did he weaken the Cowboys by taking away cap space, but he then gave it to the Giants and Eagles. And let’s not forget Dean Spanos, Pat Bowlan, and the Hunt Family are happy too.

It’s all good until he comes after your team or your favorite rule or aspect of the game.

I’m sure Blank’s approval of Goodell’s handling of the Saints had absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that New Orleans is a division opponent…just like Mara was singing his praises after he docked the Cowboys and Redskins.

I can see that happening.

The only question is whether the National Flag-football League will still be popular with the fans at that point.

He is making this sport WAY too soft. It’ll be touch football in 10-15 years at this rate. Really a shame.

New rules adopted by Roger Goodell and the Competition Committee for the 2042 season…QB’s will now only be permitted to be sacked by FEMALE defensive players weighing 130 lbs or less, and that sack shall consist of pulling a flag from the QB’s waist. Should any defender fall on top of a QB, or bring a QB to the ground, whether accidental or purposeful, she shall be suspended from the NFL without pay for the balance of the season.

I don’t. Am I crazy or just too young? Does anybody remember a time when you hardly ever heard the commmissioners name come up in the news? Maybe only for extremely serious matters? Maybe the league has just become so troublesome in general that he needs to be more involved. I just remember Tagliabeau being commissioner and hardly hearing of him and all of the sudden, WHAM!!! Goodell is commissioner and we can’t go 3 days without hearing about him sticking his nose into something. Maybe that’s just the way it has to be now. But for some reason, I really have my doubts about that.

30 years?..i”ll be resigning from the nfl way before that,the refs stink,the players are throwin their hands up in the air on how to tackle(because apparently they are supposed to change direction in midair) and the league is getting watered down.Count me out if this cr@p continues.

Good. Most who don’t like him believe in conspiracy theories or live in a tent that preaches career and life ending injuries don’t exist.

That statement is absolutely hilarious. HBO Real Sports did a segment in 2007 about concussions and your golden boy Roger and his owner cronies tried to claim there was no evidence that concussions led to any long term affects. Here’s the link. If you’re the ADD type then start watching at the 8:10 mark.
