You mean the petty owners who backed deflategate? LMAO!Unfortunately, I think his choice of words will backfire. If anything comes out of it, the other owners are likely going to solidify their support of Goodell after reading something like this.
How did Kraft come after Goodell hard? His butthole was wide open from the get-go. Jones is a businessman that clearly doesn’t like to lose. I have my popcorn ready.
Ok.Just reading between the lines. He's frustrated dealing with the owners. Looks like I can't copy/paste from this article, but there is a section where it mentions how it's been assumed that Goodell wants a long term extension, but he's furious over being asked to take a pay cut and all the scrutiny he's been under, and he would be willing to walk away. Another section says that he told other owners that he's here for them through the union negotiations but after that the owners should start having a conversation.
God no!Polian is the only name in play at this point...
I know what you're saying, but I don't consider those "skills" OR doing the job -- at least, as far as the job that should be done in that position. The league could be so much better with a commissioner that cares about more than keeping up appearances, kissing the owners' butts and making money.the skills to do the job: look smarmy on camera, talk out of your ass, do what the owners want, take the brunt of the hate with a smile, don't rock the boat unless told to, take your paycheck and don't kill any hookers, do what's best for the League, er, the owners
Goodell has done this fairly well......and he has obviously represented the 32 fairly well
Everyone knows that Goodell needs to get fired rather than getting an extension, just as they know that Goodell is just one of the problems with the league. But, because of schoolgirl politics and overwhelming greed, they'll pay Goodell the money and keep him around. Then, when the league's ratings/approval numbers continue to tank (and probably not until after the next CBA asskicking of the NFLPA), Goodell will get his buyout and the owners will try blaming every single thing on Rodger as they walk him out the door.

As the age-old saying goes, "Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it."God no!
And, what, exactly, were Goodell's qualifications, other than being a toady on Park Avenue for years? In fact, one could reasonably argue that Polian is more qualified.I have a very hard time believing that report though. Jerry wants a business visionary who can be his personal lackey. When has Polian shown any business sense? Certainly he has NFL knowledge, but is he really going to be the guy negotiating with the networks for their next TV contract? The guy pushing the game to larger markets and pushing for more taxpayer funded stadiums?
