Actually, he's got 32 fanboys, which is really all that matters.Didn't realize Goodell had fanboys

Well, his job survived this week so I have a hard time imagining the level of outrage from this incident will do anything but gradually die down. Our 24-hour media cycle will move on to the next thing eventually. By the time Mueller releases his report months from now, no one will care.No. They're just his pupper masters who will toss him aside when the heat gets too hot.
People that think he shouldn't lose his job are the fanboys. Every scandal that has happened under his watch he's looked utterly clueless.

Dream on pal. There are a number of new cases in the hopper and the king has no clothes LOLWell, his job survived this week so I have a hard time imagining the level of outrage from this incident will do anything but gradually die down.

Not work very well for whom? Goodell or Peterson? I think what we are going to see is a lot more deliberation by the NFL and consultation when it comes to punishment for these sorts of things. Whether talking about Hardy, McDonald or Peterson, the league is going to make sure all i's are dotted and t's are crossed.The next thing is liable to be the indictment of Adrian Peterson for child abuse. I'm not sure that's really going to work very well for him.

Considering this entire crapstorm hitting Goodell stems from the fact that (ironically) he was too lenient on Ray Rice, I can't imagine we will ever see leniency from the league again. They should do what I said all along they should have done with Rice: Totally throw the book at these guys and let the NFLPA be the assholes defending abusive boyfriends/husbands/fathers.
In some respects that would almost be preferable. At least my expectations would be set appropriately and the rules would not be so subjective. What they have today is just a crap shoot. Will a flag be thrown? Let's throw a D20 and have the 'field master' find out.
I can understand blaming Goodell for handing the Ray Rice situation poorly and other various issues that have popped up but really... blaming Goodell for the conduct of athletes is incredibly weak. He is Adrian Peterson's employer, not his personal overlord and guardian.I think we're going to see a /lot/ more talking heads inquiring as to what just sort of insane asylum Mr. Goodell has been running here.
That's exactly the point I am making. New cases will come up and people will stop talking about Ray Rice (in fact a "new case" already has come up - sure didn't take long). If the league does the right thing in the Adrian Peterson situation, time will pass and people will conveniently forget about how they handled the Ray Rice incident.Dream on pal. There are a number of new cases in the hopper and the king has no clothes LOL
The above pretty sums up the Goodell haters perfectly. They want to blame the guy for everything wrong without giving an ounce of credit for everything right.Goodell era has been one disaster after the other, and has hurt the league. He had little to do with the spike in NFL popularity. The internet was booming without Goodell, cable was becoming a household thing even for people in the sticks everywhere without Goodell, and entertainment in general has spiked along side both of these things everywhere without Goodell.

Everything bad is Goodell's fault.
Everything good would have happened anyway.
