Why hasn’t the league just settled this by now? Every time it comes up it is horrible PR. Just settle this. The NFL has enough of a PR problem with everything these days. Why spend so much time on something that can be dealt with.

All of this because of greed by the Cowboys and NFL to squeeze more people into cramped seats with a bad view. Greed.

As the article points out, there’s no need to take Goodell’s deposition. The league has already admitted fault so the only question to be resolved is to how much the plaintiffs are entitled. Goodell has no greater knowledge on that subject than anyone else. His deposition would be a worthless exercise, a position the Court will likely take.

This article is about the discovery process in a lawsuit. Yet, people still take the opportunity to express their considerable distaste for a commissioner who, by all accounts, is highly regarded by the only people who matter: the NFL owners.

Not sure if the dissent is derived from the posters’ general insecurity about themselves, their hatred of their own bosses or authority figures as a whole. Ultimately, it’s unfortunate they have such vitriol towards an individual they’ve never even met.

I no longer believe a single word that comes out of Goodell’s mouth. He’s shown himself to be power-hungry, ego-driven, greedy and dishonest.

The owners need a new mouthpiece… This guy is the worst commissioner in major sports. Well, maybe the hockey dude,…. but that’s it.

Under oath someone should ask if he really thinks the scab refs made the right call!!!

Unless Goodell has knowledge that in some way sheds light on the money lost by the plaintiffs who traveled to Dallas at significant expense to attend a football game they didn’t get to attend, this fairly obvious effort to apply pressure should fail.

For as much as a premium as one would pay to attend a game like a Superbowl including all the additional costs that go along with it. To ruin a large groups experience because of horrible mismanagement eventually needs to fall back on Roger.

And even if it’s a bunch of pissed off fans beratign him in court, IT’S DESERVEDLY SO.

That’s a once in a lifetime experience of which the NFL makes you pay very dearly for. Roger as the figurehead and not Jerry Jones, needs to be held to answer for these problems.

The fish rots from the head down, Roger needs some humble pie for thanksgiving
