Xmad Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 He can't be any worse but the problem is NFL ownership given Goodell is their puppet. Short of all the bad owners selling/dying anytime soon it would only be a cosmetic change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footbull3196 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 This would be a ridiculous change just for the sake of change. I dont like Goodell either, but his contract isnt being renewed after 2023 so at least the end is somewhat in sight. I think Silver's done an alright job so far, but it's worth noting that there is absolutely no parity in the NBA and the Warriors are just about a lock to win their 4th title in 5 years by a wide margin. This comes after 4 straight Finals involving the same exact teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Silver is a wuss who caves to players. So he’s a 180 from Goodell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Blank and the other owners seem to love him, wouldn't shock me if he got renewed unless he doesn't want to continue being commish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or two guys can change the outlook of a whole team, thats hard to do in the NFL. What was he supposed to do? block KD from signing with the warriors? They drafted all of their other stars. I think its good that the owners are even talking about replacing Goodell. Its almost like theyve realized that even if they like him, the FANS HATING HIM IS BAD FOR BUSINESS.

imDelusional Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I wonder how hard Goodell is trying to find a way to suspend Silver for tampering with his own job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really his fault tho. GSWs just got extremely lucky. They drafted players like Curry Thompson and Green. Greatly out produce their draft spot. They literally drafted one of if not the best shooter of all time outside the top5. Drafted one of the best SGs outside of the top10, and drafted one of the best defensive players in the 2nd rd. Curry had ankle injuries that made him not worth a max contract after his rookie year and got lucky the salary cap went up by a lot that allowed them to sign Durant. Also the NBA has never been truly about competition tho. Like 5 teams hold more than half the NBA titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancerman Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 You go from a guy that basically bludgeons the players every single time they negotiate it. Okay I’m sure Silver is the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver will cave to any media and/or player pressure 100% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no. Roger is shielding those owners from the fans. If the owners had to "own up" to their private decisions in public and become the target of the fans ire - I think they'd go back to having Roger in a heartbeat. I also think its silly to get mad at Roger or hate on Roger, all he is doing is what the owners ask of him and what the advertisers/networks demand. Its totally misplaced anger and we've covered that here many times. But that doesn't stop a certain slice of the fan base from hating on Roger as if he's sitting around thinking up these new rules / punishments on his own. The owners vote on all these changes to the game, Roger is merely the guy who takes the heat. Getting rid of him won't stop the pussification of the NFL, won't make the League any more forgiving of DV or suddenly allow helmet-to-helmet hits. Adam Silver won't stop the Refs from whiffing calls from time to time Adam Silver can't stop the Safety train that's rolling down the tracks at full speed. And Adam Silver can't stop NFL players from behaving badly nor can he convince the networks and advertisers from pushing back on bad actors tarnishing The Shield He'd just be a different shade of lipstick on the pig(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Silver's good but I don't get the hype around him. I think the next NFL commish will be someone that's in the league already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league needs someone who knows the NFL, who's worked in an NFL organization and has a good relationship with the players.
