My husband wants to make a T-shirt that says: It’s the NFL Roger, not the OBGYN!
I don’t care for Goodell’s arbitrary conduct policy, but his emphasis on minimizing head injuries is quite correct.
This jerk Goodell caved to Shapton when Rush Limbaugh was in an ownership group. Frankly, I detest Goodell and his pansy-fication of the NFL. Worst Commish in my experience.
I heard my adult son and his friends discussing the Chickification of the US...they used the V word.
I think the Commish is one of those... :0)
“Even CNN-SI’s Peter King can conclude that the Patriots have had a better winning percentage since that contrived scandal, than they did before it. So exactly how did the side-line tapes help them?”
3 superbowl trophies before spygate, 0 after. Not that I’m a fan of Goodell.
I think the league desperately needs to address official bias in the games. Bad calls are one thing, and fairly obvious. Even more prevalent and insidious are the non-calls where officials obviously "look the other way" and refuse to throw a flag. The league cannot deny it happens in this age of HD DVRs. We can "review the tape" just as well as they can. They need to start fining, suspending, and firing officials that demonstrate this kind of bias.
You have obviouly never been a season ticket holder required to pay full price for the exhibition games in order to maintain your season tickets.

Making the players and coaches wear pink in support of breast cancer awareness, but ofcourse anything like support of prostate cancer or non-female specific issues won’t be included because that doesn’t pander to women.
The continued push to force women down our throats as sideline reporters and into the locker rooms and then acting all outraged when a bunch of males act like males around them.
The continuous rule modifications to protect qbs from any type of contact by the defense. All so their advertising golden childs don’t get injuried. Aka the don’t get Tom Brady’s silky hair messed up rule.
Let’s face it, the league panders to fans who like to see
TOUCHDOWNS!...So basically it is pitch and catch, dink and
dunk...
i mean you can’t touch a receiver after he has gone 5 yards pass the
line of scrimmage....so they get a tall 6’6” guy whose hands
can get to about 11-12 feet up when he jumps and you toss
the ball up there...and you have a 10 yard gain...
Get rid of that rule, make it “bump and run” again..make the
receiver earn his catch...and get rid of the “in the grasp”
rule. Make the quarterback willing to go down fast, or
design plays to keep the quaterback out of the reach of
those incredibly speedy defensive players.
No substitutions for at least 4 consecutive plays is another
rule that should be made....enuf of this “nickel” defense and
“dime” package...let those slobs(i say this warmly) run
around a bit...maybe if they exercised out there instead of
playing Sumo versus El Toro they wouldn’t die so young.
Just my 2 cents, er billion dollars needed for a franchise....
