I bet my comment gets deleted again BUT I just have to say that I feel Roger Goodell is so tough on these NFL Players because he’s bitter because he didn’t make it in the NFL himself.
He sure don’t like Ben Roethlisberger either. Other players have done much worse and gotten punished alot less. I guess that’s just the way the ball rolls? I know an NFL Player who says Rog is the worst thing that ever happened to the NFL.

Pete Rozelle was commissioner for almost 30 years…Paul Tagliabue for almost 20….together they don’t come close to the amount of ink Tzar Goodell has gotten in less than 5 years.

Enough already.

But, it looks like plenty are dying off the field while Goodell denies the risk of brain injuries shortening players’ lives…

He said it. Its the same protocol he used during the negotiating the new CBA. He leaks info that coincides with his agenda then distances himself from it. Only to bring the topic up again at a later date.

He says “the fans want that”. He doesn’t speak for me, how about the rest of you? I don’t want it one bit “safer”.

High risk, high reward, buyer beware.

You have to take Roethlisberger’s descriptions of his injuries with a grain of salt.

In the unfortunate event of a death on the field, trainers have been instructed to place the body on a stretcher immediately. Attach a small cord to the players wrist, and surreptitiously tug it upwards making it appear the player is raising his arm to wave to the crowd. Preferably with one thumb extended. Once they get the guy out of sight they can decide on how to present the bad news.

I’m surprised he didn’t state he fears the Saints will kill a player on the field. You know, with how violent and hard hitting the Saint’s D is.

@skoobyfl
I believe the proposed 18 game season only had 2 preseason games.

The man was chosen by the owners. If you’ve got a problem with him, take it up with your owner.

Still waiting on an explanation regarding the bounty situation. Cost the Saints a season without cause. I’ll be waiting.

funny he denies it because I’ll admit that it scares me as a fan. johnny knox was a blessing if you ask me. Anyone who for one second does not think a player can die in this game is a fool.

I wonder if he’s worried about injuries during a Week 19 game between 2 teams whose playoff hopes have been gone for a couple of months at that point. Doubt it.
