Someone tweeted that Goodell is judge, jury, and executioner.
If this is true. That is way too much power vested in one individual. If goodell had any really wanted to make the NFL about integrity, he would give up some of that power.
Appeals process needs to be a committee, not one person, much less the same person who handed down the punishments.

The owners gave Goodell the power to rule on team violations such as these. The nature of these infractions are not subject to an appeal. Only the owners can vote to change Goodell's authority. But that would not affect the decisions he has made while this authority was in effect. Like it or not, it is a done deal and we need to move forward. I think it sucks for our loyal fans and hurts our chances of home field advantage in the Super Bowl. Goodell stepped way over the line to make a point. I do believe that every team should be investigated for the same infraactions and be dealt with in a similar manner. The hypocrites throughout the NFL need to come out of the closet and man up for their own bounties. IMHO
