I used to think that Goodell was a pretty decent commissioner. Back when the main complaint was that he was softening the game. Because I thought(and think) that it was necessary to really crack down on the helmet to helmet hits. Concussions are simply too dangerous to allow hits like a safety destorying a slot running a seam route.
But during the last year and a half(or so) I've completely changed my mind. Goodell and his band of monkeys have done something I didn't think would happen. They've made me loose interest in the NFL. Right now I only watch Pats games, and don't even keep track of what happens in other games, or who wins or looses. We all love to hate on Mortensen for Mortesen for writing about the fake "10 out of 12 balls". But what annoys me the most isn't that Mort wrote it, because he did get a very high up source. What annoys me is that we know the source. It's the NFL. "10 out of 12 footballs" is right from their letter to the pats. The NFL has gotten way less hate than they deserve for that letter. These stumbling idiots leaked false information to send the media where they wanted to. The freaking league office. It's really hard to keep interest in a league after it does something like that. Then they continued to leak info that has been proven false.
Then when we have someone like Hardy, who has shown no freaking remorse what so ever, and still plays in the league. The freaking league took Brady to court because of balls that followed the laws of physics, and then when they lost they have gone back to court. But with Hardy they didn't even go to court. And they didn't even fight the freaking ruling. The guy who beat up his girlfriend, and who shows that he learned nothing. Absolutely nothing. Maybe because that suspension for a year really was a payed vacation. On that list that the NFL made up so they hade someplace to store wife and kid beaters while the media and society hate cooled off, while still paying them so the players where nice and happy still. Maybe because he has the freaking owner calling him a great leader after basically fighting the coaches and players, and after basically cat calling the opponents QBs wife. No one should talk about other players wifes like that, and especially not that POS. And still he's "a great leader that we want to sign long term".
If it wheren't because I like our players, and coaches so much I would be done with this league. It feels like watching WWE. It's all so fake. All these things happening behind closed doors. All so freaking fake.
