And would you take the chance of firing the commissioner after you just made the most money in your companies history? 
Even if Goodell has nothing to do with that why would you take that chance?

Owners tell him what to do.. Why would he be fired?
It's surprising how lost this is on a lot of folks. He does their bidding.
He is the league's "fall guy." He takes all of the heat, insulating the owners from the public's outrage.

I'm not sure the general public really views these as disasters tho. And if they do, I am not sure how much they would attribute it to Goodell.
Goodell is perfect for the owners, he does there bidding, takes any and all heat off of them, and when something goes wrong they can just blame him. Meanwhile they are still making hand over fist.

Because I have him on my fantasy team.

He needs to be removed from office effective immediately!
5 straight appeal cases lost by the Commish. Not looking good for this joke.

I mean do yall honestly think Goodell should be fired? The fact yall hate him so freaking much shows how good he is at his job. He doesnt take a piss without the owners telling him to do so. So all the hate over the years Goodell has taken, means the owners have avoided it. All the new rules and shite he had to deal with, means he took all that pressure off the owners. He also managed to take the biggest threat the NFL has ever faced(concussion lawsuit) and managed to turn in the biggest profit in NFL history.

Exactly. There are other people capable of doing better than this idiot.

You should care because Brady plays in a whole season, not 3/4

quote:how much did Goodell specifically have to do with those deals?
This. He got the networks to increase the recent TV deal about 60% according to some articles. Also got DirecTV to pay 12 billion over 8 years for Sunday Ticket (not withstanding the legal challenges).

About the same amount as he had to do with all the stuff we blame him for........

Goodell knows Billy Cannon ??

He is the head of a league that is as profitable as it has ever been. Certainly he alone doesn't make the money, there is an army of people responsible for that, but he is at the top.

He's a punchline and has been for years specifically because of those items mentioned.
