If Kraft goes against the owners, how will we get rid of Goodell?

So basically you are going with he's a billionaire so every decision he makes is brilliant.

The premise is flawed from the get go. If Kraft goes against the owners? What owners? The ones who want to keep Goodell or the ones that don't?

If he supports the owners who want to get rid of Goodell he may be able to sway a few more. If he supports the ones who want to keep Goodell he may be able to sway more that way. He threw his public support behind Goodell, reinforcing Goodell just as he did in 2007. Just as in 2007 Goodell will likely remain.

Goodell may remain regardless but I fail to understand the tortured logic that somehow supporting Goodell will lead to less support for Goodell.

No, he took a local company and turned it into 4 billion. He knows how to work the corporate inside game, he's known for it. That's all I'm saying.

In 2007 we actually broke a rule, as stupid as it was, even though other teams did the same, there was a memo saying don't do it and we admitted it.

We would need 23 votes to oust goodell, or a minimum of 20 if some didn't vote. If I knew how to persuade 20 millionaires to do what i wanted over a period of time, I wouldn't be me. Kraft does these things daily. He needs 23 if all vote, or a minimum of 20. I imagine you isolate individual owners and play them off against each other, then again...I don't know, wish I did.
