no, goodell got handed the keys to an already launched rocket. when he took over the NFl the brand was invincible. it's not anymore.

public relations - he is the worst. imagine you're roger goodell, he of ray rice infamy, and you're watching the news and you see the 70th, 80th, whatever Hollywood figure under innumerable allegations...would you maybe just sit there and think this isn't something heading your way and that maybe it should influence how you look at your current situation with ezekial Elliot? I would...it's pretty obvious he didn't. and if he did, but still went forward with the Elliot stuff...he's a fricking moron

and the timing is just so great. they are in year 2 of a very well publicized ratings decline.

Peyton Manning 2 years ago from an allegation that he put his nuts on some girls head in the training room back in college

that was more than 2 years ago and I have some bad news for you...he did it.

I went to boarding school in Chattanooga shortly after and our trainer was a former member of the training staff who was friends with him...thought peyton manning was the greatest guy ever...but said it happened of course saying peyton was just a kid who screwed up and blah blah blah

Used to be a time when an NFL player, NBA player or MLB player could grope a woman and they would be thankful

Yeah, the pro-sports teams should fear the #metoo wave coming to them. Pretty much probably 70% have violated a woman.

I'm still shocked at how Christina Pagniacci would walk in on NFL players in a state of undress in the locker room for the Miami Sharks. Highly inappropriate.

It broke in the news right after he retired. 2 years ago. And I’m sure it was true. Kids do dumb shite, even the ones who grow up to be the good guys. The media buried it because they/we like Peyton.
