Wyld Stallyns Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 That ESPN article is misleading right off the bat. It tries to make it sound like there are 17 owners in lock step with Jones but it reality that 17 was just the number of owners involved in the conference call. The CBS article kind of clears that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Yeah, Goodell probably gets an extension but the guy's a bit inconsistent in his actions. There needs to be more consistency when it comes to suspension. Less player witch hunts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 11 hours ago, NorthCountryEvo said: I just hate the arbitrary fines, appeals, and disciplinary process that the current NFL has adopted, which has only become more and more cavalier under Goodell. The NFLPA does have to own some of this because they did agree to the CBA which allows for the process to run this way, but in the end I lay this at the feet of Goodell and his staff. Own just some of this? They agreed to a system where Goodell was judge, jury, executioner, and appeals court. And then they're shocked that it's arbitrary? Sufficed to say, this will likely be priority #1 when they renegotiate the CBA in a couple years time. Of course, the owners realize this, so they'll make the price tag high to get a sensible system in place (even though the arbitrariness can affect their own team).

Hunter2_1 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I think he's made a couple of positive moves. The rookie contracts and placing emphasis on player safety, despite some protests of "pussyfying the sport", are positive and intellectual moves, IMO. (I stress my opinion). On the other hand, there's been some shambolic episodes and lacklustre responses to difficult issues. The player domestic violence stuff, the over-baring punishment for particular discrepancies (even if the case was chucked out of court.....). Gestapo-esque, if you're being dramatic, which I am I give him a 5 out of 10, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerthat Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Goodell should be fired for moving not one but two franchises to LA. Great city just horrible sports town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerthat Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The London games drive me up a wall too. there is no European market stop trying to make one up. I would much rather have team go to Mexico city and battle it out. there is a market south of the border not in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 But they pay him over $40 million a year just because they can't handle being personally criticized. He has no real power. He's just a guy they give $40 million a year to for almost no reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Normally this isn’t something to be done, but I have edited the OP with information from the ESPN article, as well as some conflicting information from the CBS Sports article. I would caution all members to read both articles before forming an opinion on what may be transpiring behind the scenes, as each article seemingly paints a largely different picture of what is happening.

lancerman Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Pre Goodell: Patriots 3 Super Bowls, 0 Super Bowl losses, no draft picks lost, Brady plays the entire time. Post Goodell Patriots 2 Super Bowls, 2 Super Bowl losses. 2 draft picks taken away, Brady misses a season in 08, and Brady misses 4 games to suspension in 16. I know which NFL I liked best.

Tagliabue was much worse when it came to player safety. Refused to pay benefits to players with head injuries, and actively covered up any links between hits and brain damage. He set up a commision to create bull**** tests to create the sense that there isn't a consensus in the community ala the tobacco industry with lung cancer and the oil industry with global warming. He outright dismissed claims from the neurological community because his own funded studies didn't draw the same conclusions. His studies were headed by a guy who's specialty was arthritis btw.
