It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Apparently by not screwing up enough to affect $$$s that networks and sponsors will pay. NFL income and appreciation in franchise value has far outpaced inflation and normal rates of asset appreciation.LOL, how in God’s name did Goodell help maintain the valuation of the franchise?
Yeah, those gains experienced by the NFL were enjoyed in spite of Goodell. Not because of him. As a matter of fact, one can easily make the argument that Goodell’s time as commissioner has done more harm to the NFL’s bottom line, both present and future, than anything.Apparently by not screwing up enough to affect $$$s that networks and sponsors will pay.

I doubt that Goodell has any special skills that helped it along though. It is merely that the goose lays golden eggs, so its hard to hate the goose, even if it's a mean stupid SOB.
London. Mexico City. China.LOL, how in God’s name did Goodell help maintain the valuation of the franchise?
What font identify as is my choice, I should not be judged... This board needs sensitivity training...
And RK was so pissed at Goondell that he awarded him a nice fat contract extension.Wasn't Kraft also later furious with himself for having done that and having been so stupid to think that bowing down to RG would help his QB?
I'm no super duper Robert Kraft defender, but in hindsight everyone, including him, knows it was a screw-up, and everyone other than him knew it was a screw-up RIGHT THEN.
I'm a blatant font-ist.
Just try posting some comic sans and we will strike you down.
If true...IF....then I don't blame him one bit for being pissed-off at Bendover Bobby for, well, bending over, again.
Not surprised he felt screwed. That being said if there really was a "backdoor deal" between Kraft and Goodell about being lenient on Brady (which never came into existance anyway) if Kraft bowed down I am surprised Kraft didn't tell him in advance.
The entire press conference where Kraft just bowed down was weird back then and keeps on being weird now with added information.
Kraft forever tarnished his legacy to many die hard fans. Ever since the day he took the stage and folded like a .99 lawn chair, I’ve cursed at him or snarled every time I’ve see his face on TV. I wouldnt even listen to his SB acceptance speech and left the room. I’ll never forget every single media and league figure involved in the frame job, and I take great pleasure in their misfortunes. I hope Goodell is killed in some type of Saw torture scenario.

Hate it and change it immediately when it is the default. As a scientist, I am partial to Arial since it is a lot like old school Helvetica, which was once dominant in scientific writing.What are your feelings on Calibri?

Apparently the owners don't agree with you on that. (Though I do.)Yeah, those gains experienced by the NFL were enjoyed in spite of Goodell. Not because of him.
