"The NFL has earned the inherent lack of trust since 2012, from: (1) imposing cap penalties on Dallas and Washington for contracts executed in the uncapped year that were approved when filed to (2) trumping up “bounty” charges against the Saints based on players getting a modest amount of cash for the application of clean, legal hits that they already had an incentive to apply to (3) ignoring the fact that other teams had been using “bounties” for years (including teams coached by former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, the mastermind of the bounty scandal) to (4) hiring an outside lawyer to provide the patina of legitimacy to an investigation which found in part that Anthony Hargrove shouted “Bobby, give me my money!” when closer inspection of the audio and video is conclusive at best to (5) a second suspension of Ray Rice that clearly violated his rights under the CBA to (6) the manipulation of league policies to keep Adrian Peterson off the field for the 2014 stretch run against the Vikings because someone apparently had decided in September that Peterson wouldn’t be playing again this year to (7) the sudden abandonment of a 95-year history of not paying any attention to the air pressure in footballs in the apparent hopes of catching the Patriots cheating to (8) the complete lack of any understanding that the air pressure in footballs decreases on cold days to (9) the leak of grossly false air-pressure information to a pair of prominent journalists in order to create a national presumption of cheating to (10) the failure to correct that blatantly false information to (11) the hiring of a lawyer for an “independent” investigation that clearly wasn’t independent to (12) the review of the “independent” investigator’s report by the league’s general counsel to (13) the refusal to make the league’s general counsel answer questions about his role to (14) suspending Tom Brady for “general awareness” of an equipment violation, in violation of the CBA and the “law of the shop” to (15) expressing righteous indignation over Brady “destroying” his phone in the hopes of swaying public opinion against him to (16) attempting to suspend Brady for obstructing an investigation even though no player had ever been suspended for obstructing an investigation, the findings and conclusions of the league office as currently constructed on matters of discipline cannot be accepted at face value."

Apparently it could cost $150m to can him before his contract is up( https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/639486452859076608 ), so taking away some power is the more likely route for the owners.
Hmmm that would be just under $5million per owner. Money well spent if you ask me.

The players should strike in 2016 until the owners replace Goodell. I would sacrifice an entire season to get rid of this clown - he's been that bad.
19-24 owners. Might take a while, but eventually he'll go. He won't change and he's killing the league, which means $$$, which is the only thing all owners understand.
All the cable outlets are going to be looking to renegotiate, because somebody signed them to contracts that are going to kill them. Do you think dunderhead can handle that?
NFL owners to discuss changing Roger Goodell’s role in disciplinary process
They should just fire him and get it over with.
Oh, of course they are. They do that and they're media darlings again.I'm not sure even the owners are sleazy enough to fire him for doing exactly what they wanted.
I have no idea,” Smith said. “Whether there’s going to be a resolution of this or a resolution of that before the Super Bowl — all I’m saying is, I can’t imagine the owners, any owner, thinking it’s a great idea to be talking about commissioner discipline while you want to promote the 50th anniversary of the Super Bowl. I don’t think there’s any owner who thought it was a really good thing for us to be discussing the first half of the AFC championship game when we were kicking off the season.”
Good idea, because the players will be ready to strike over the next CBA.
No more Bob Kraft hugging Jeff Saturday. The threat or reality of a long strike is the only way to get rid of Goodell and the Jetsnation at 345 Park and really change things.
Question.
Will we as fans support them this time or just assail them, like we did last time, as greedy, overpaid jocks for threatening to strike over the basic rights that Goodell tried to deny to Tom Brady?
I think we should all think about it. Are we willing to lose a season for the players to get Justice?
