Goodell is commissioner, he is not God. He cannot unilaterally makes any rules changes he wants. In fact, he officially doesn't even get a vote as it takes 24/32 owners.If the sole purpose of Goodell and his office is to make as much money as possible, then what is there to prevent arbitrary changes to the league rules and format in any manner that would increase popularity?
The only thing more moronic that your suggestion that the NFL should transform itself into American Idol is your "what is so ridiculous about that" routine?Some 25 million viewers watch american idol. The NFL could stand to benefit in popularity by pulling in some of that crowd. What is so ridiculous about it? If you have a counter-argument, make it instead of arbitrarily dismissing it.
If you want to discuss this issue intelligently, I would be happy to continue. If your argument is going to be American Idol is popular therefore the NFL should transform into "live auditions for the players and a viewer voting contest to determine which among the losers to save for the playoffs" then I have little time for that level of idiocy.
