We've all seen the faux Goodell pay cut to a $1. Who here doesn't think the league votes this epic failure a 'bonus' to make it up? That said with all the fan biatching and whining here, real people who work in the league offices and for teams are seeing substantial real pay cuts. The good news is that these working families will be made whole IF the full season happens. I wish them the very best. Stay tuned.

Nice thread start and 100% ditto. These teams are pretty large entities that employ the full spectrum. Sadly, the most effected will be the least covered in media.

a megalomaniac with an IQ below 80...instead of making a category 5 hurricane out of a mild breeze (Whygate), personally baby sitting the worst organization in football with their degenerate toe sniffing,obscene public remark making,megaphone mouth head coach, rapist QB, drunk driving , women beating and deadbeat dad defensive players and criminal sideline tripping asst's,he should have been building bridges between the owners and players these past four years and doing EVERYTHING in his power, MAXIMIZING his time spent on averting this current DISASTER.

No matter the outcome in 2011, this preening,mugging for the cameras 24/7, Little Lord Fauntleroy needs to be unceremoniously BOOTED from ANY involvement with the NFL..and then subsequently investigated by the federal government for corruption.

Dead on accurate. Perfect description.

Usually, I feel merit pay advocacy in certain situations is a scam, but in Goodell's case it seems right on, that is if it needs to be rounded up to a minimum of $1.

Bills cutting pay for their employees.

Actions have consequences. Sadly, here the consequences fall on those with little to gain from a settlement other than salary retention.

Here's news that many NFL teams are cutting or plan to cut coaches salaries ~25%. The assistant coaches average over $350K so some in government would call them 'rich' even after the pay cuts.

Given this, I don't think a coaches organization is improbable. Given the pay and long hours I don't think it unreasonable either. This position would be a first for me.
Owners may experience an unintended consequence here.

Figures it would be the Bills with the story of cutting pay. I'm suprised they haven't brought in Canadiens to do the work for them already at half the cost. Just sell that team to a owner that cares and can market it properly and gtfo of the business Ralph.

Yah but now the SB Champion 'non-profit' Packers and many other teams have also cut pay. Bummer.
