it's amazing how NE fans of all people could be against him
he's protecting the pats from walsh, or at least trying to (because he's protecting the nfl, all of his decisions are done to protect the nfl from itself, and keep it's #1 spot)
As a side question - how do you all think Paul Tagliabue would have dealt with this?

If he hadn't overreacted to the camera controversy in the first case, we wouldn't even be discussing Roger Goodell now.
He's put the entire integrity of the league in jeopardy because of a disciplinary overreaction. He's an idiot, and he can suck my balls.
he's really messed this up on every level at every turn....he SHOULD have handled this in house and never turned it into the public spectacle that it became...NEVER sgould have given out such a heavy penalty without explaining it all...going forward he shouldn't have said he was going to be so fair about things, for he has demonstrated the opposite totally..ignoring so many other practices that are ubfir..from tampering to piped in audio to the communications blackout over ride that some teams do. ..
"handled it in the manner it ought to have been handled"....Are you kidding?? I do NOT see how he could have handled it worse....If this was good...the league will be going down the tubes quite fast.. I do not think Tags would have made as much an issue out of it and handled it "IN HOUSE"...THAT was a big mistake!! And could not have done worse...the most severe penalties to team, individuals involved. THAT was compounded by not explaining ANY of that as to the whys...which only led to many speculations. ANOTHER big mistake. And then there was the leaked tape...funny how his wife works for Fox and it was a Fox reporter that got it... How could that have been handled poorer?? Look at how OTHER issues of pushing the envelope have come up and been ignored by him?? If he REALLY wished to clean up the league why not do it with the same vigor? Never happened..What appearance does it have? That he's blatantly unfair to the Patriots and OBVIOUSLY his NY bias is shading his actions. How could a Commish have done poorer in this??I think Goodell's done a good job thus far. Sure, the situation with the Patriots is unfortunate, but he handled it in the manner it ought to have been handled.
