Goodell

Goodell hast to testify in court nxt week, if the court finds that he purger'ed him self. Does the NFL owners fire him , or do the "good ole boys club " say no harm no foul?? just thought i wld get others thoughts on this.. Personaly i think they let him go. just because of all the backlash it will cause frm the public.. B ut then again who knows, $$ talks

 

thats funny ,..... and a lil sad. if they dont get rid of him, it say's to me that most of the owners have no morals what so ever..

 

Goodell gets paid 43 million a year, that seems extra ordinary considering his job isn't that difficult, he makes by far at least 150% more money a year than any super star player in the league and before you say he negotiates the TV money, the truth is a professional negotiater with a team of lawyers does the negotiations while goody two shoes shows up as a bystander ....

 

I was also wondering if anyone has heard if the court hearings where gona be live on tv. sorta like the Hernandez trial was. has anyone heard anything abt this threw the media/ espn??

 

Just bring in Tony. he takes care of everyone..

 

I just shake my head when people say Goodell's job isn't hard, or a trained monkey can do it. If that was the case, they wouldn't be paying the kind of salary they do and they would have hired Joe Blow from the street to do the job. There's far more to it than some of you want to realize.

And no, Goodell isn't getting fired nor will there be any evidence proving he watched that tape (if he did even watch it)

 

I was at home and kept hearing a rattling sound. Now I know why. All this head shaking.

 

So Goodell is the only one thats capable of being the commish and making $$$ for the Nfl??.... Wow ( winner winner chicken dinner)

 

I'm not sure about his day to day responsibilities or that someone couldn't make the league money but I have heard they owners would be reluctant to make a change because of his relationships with sponsors, the unions, vendors, the Networks and so on. They could make a change but the potential revenue loss in those one to two years while someone new gets acquainted with everyone could make the owners a bit shy about making the change.

 

The owners obviously believe they are better with Goodell than without him. The NFL may make money with anyone, how much is the question. You don't give the owners enough credit. Goodell is obviously an asset or they wouldn't pay him what they do

 

I don't know how you got that from my post. At no point did I say any of that

 

True to an extent. That's not going to be enough for shareholders, team owners, etc. though. They'll want to know that they're getting the best deal, maximising profits and interest in the game etc. Striking the right balance between player and owner benefits, ensuring competitiveness, and so on... I'm sure there's more than a few people who could do it, but I think it's entirely possible for someone to make a big mess of it.

 

Honestly, some owners aren't and haven't been on the same page with Goodell since day 1. He should be fired and if enough of em stand up then he might just be. I don't see it happening myself, but mows their chance.

P.S. The league will be fine without him, sad part is I believe he's pressured politically and all the PC stuff to do what he's done and he's been playing ball. That alone might save his hide with the special interest groups and politicians...

 

Goodell had to deal with a lot of issues that he didn't create. It's his job to take the heat and solve those issues for the owners. Sometimes he got it right and sometimes he did not.

Goodell has increased the revenue of the league. That keeps the owners happy.
