Because, as evidenced in countless threads on this forum, many people don't realize what the job of the commissioner is. Every time I see someone hating on Goodell for something unpopular the league is doing such as 18-game schedules, London franchises, expanding the playoffs, as so on, that's...

How can you tell? Is he not moving around inside you as much as usual? While I certainly admit my opinions are in the minority, if you don't see anyone saying similar things to what I have said, you just aren't reading the threads.

Because I am a fan of the TV show and he is (was) a fantastic villain. The type you love to hate. The type everyone is talking about the next day. You show me a great fantasy story (movie or TV) and 9 times out of 10, I'll show you a great villain. People, this is a fictional character we're...

I was thinking the same thing myself, wondering when the commissioner of a sports league became a law enforcement officer. What's worse: The legal system that let Rice get away scot-free with just some counseling, or the sports league that suspended him 2 games when they should have suspended...

Like I said, the psych experiment should be why someone who thinks Goodell is a good commissioner provokes a response such as the above.

I think the commissioner is doing a good job (not in this particular situation, I just mean overall over the past 8 years). This opinion has caused more hatred and venom directed at me than you can possibly imagine. Maybe the psych class experiment should be why some people get so angry at...

Sure thing, Polly! Now take your parrot out of your ass and please tell us all again you idiotic statement which listed the fact she was engaged to a football players as a qualification for commissioner. Or the fact that her dad was a coach. We enjoy the laugh!!

Silver admitted that the high baseline is a large reason behind that. By an amazing coincidence, the league with the lowest baseline in 2006, the NHL, experienced the highest percentage revenue growth since then. What a coincidence!

Yeah, those NFL teams sure are taking a financial hit these days! No money coming in and net values of teams plummeting! Wait, whuhuhuhu?????????? Here's comes the typical "everything bad is Goodell's fault and everything good would have happened anyway" response.....

Do you really believe moronic hyperbole that demonstrates your ignorance of history makes a valid case?

The commissioner's job is not to "form consensus." It is to maximize revenue. I admire the hell out of her. I think she's brilliant and I agree with her politically. If she ran for president, I would probably vote for her. I actually wanted Romney to select her as VP nominee in 2012, and...

I would love to give the guy some truth serum and ask him exactly this question to see if it is an isolated incident or there is a history. For now, AFAIK, there is no solid evidence of any history. In fact, AFAIK, the guy has always been a model citizen going above and beyond the call of duty...

Yeah that whole rant giving me her entire resume.... sure... "relaxed".... Seriously child, calm down. It's just the internet. BTW you didn't answer me: Does being married to Tom Brady make Gisele more qualified to be commissioner? After all, part of your Condoleeza resume was her...

The people whining the most and the loudest are the ones who aren't going anywhere. It's the ones who quietly shrug their shoulders and say "eh, guess I'll do something else" that the league needs to watch out for.

How do you know she would be? I don't want Hillary Clinton, Henry Kissinger, John Kerry or Madeline Albright either. Yes I did know that - and I also knew there was quite a bit of criticism of that move. That would be a drop in the ocean compared to what we would see if she became commissioner...

You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say the job would be too big for her, I said she had no experience in this industry. She knows nothing about squeezing every penny out of TV networks and sponsors and local municipalities. She is a brilliant woman but with an entirely different skill set.

Where did anyone say that? Specific post please.

Well, duh. Good job finally stumbling onto the point I'm making. Highly reported? Sure. All 3 networks interrupting regularly scheduled programming to broadcast the commissioner's press conference live? No way.

What part of "all else being equal" do you not understand?

The media would not be pursuing it as vigorously nor would it be as widely reported if it were a lesser sport. scandal - an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong and causing general public outrage. If the facts were the same but it was another sport, there would not be as much...
