A few years after he left office, former commissioner Paul Tagliabue was a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He didn't make it and he never seems to be a finalist any more. I didn't really support him -- I didn't think he did anything special.
Now, thanks to Goodell, I've changed my mind. Labor peace. Player issue solved quickly and fairly. A smooth sailing ship. I think he deserves it now. I just took his tenure for granted.
I can see why owners might prefer Goodell....He is more of aggressive in getting what he wants. He locked out the players to squeeze money out of them. He did the same thing to the officials (although the colossal "Immaculate Deception" kind of defeated that one). Now, he's trying to take more power from the NFLPA by stretching the envelope on everything. He'll get what he gets on the Brady case, and if he loses, he'll just try again on then next one.
Tagliabue seemed to wanted everybody to get something. Goodell just wants to crush everybody, and bullies will ultimately meet their match. I think Tagliabue is underappreciated.
