D82 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 It would be nice to see Jerruh knock Goodell down a peg or two...but I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasmade Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm curious as to what, if anything, Jerry could actually do. From a distance, it seems like article 46 would pretty much neuter any claim he could try to make. I guess he could try to get Goodell removed, but any efforts to do so would require a majority assistance from the rest of the owners, and considering he's making them boatloads of money, it's hard to imagine that happening. If nothing else it makes for good theatre I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL will pretty much always make money. At some point he will be counter productive. at some point he's going to piss off enough fans that it will start to be noticeable.

Sure, but that's not terribly relevant as it pertains to Zeke's situation. That will manifest itself when CBA negotiations start up, and yea it wouldn't be terribly surprising if Goodell lost his job then, but that's not happening anytime soon.

He gets booed more than a Santa Claus convention in Philadelphia. I literally dislike the NFL more because of him. He is the "cooler" of professional sports.

plan9misfit Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I doubt the owners will do much of anything because it would ultimately result in them giving up leverage in the next go-round when negotiating a new CBA. They'll have to know what the players are willing to give up before opting to reduce Comrade Goodell's authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Gently Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 People are watching less. Players are quitting with their prime years ahead. You can tell yourself what you want about Kaepernick being the reason for the one, but the NFL has peaked and Goodell is hastening the decline.

Do you really sit around and think about Roger Goodell on Sundays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
