[Gumby]

I wish it were so - if wishes were horses....... Not optimistic.

I think you're assuming that Goodell isn't doing his job. In fact, he's doing his job perfectly. He implements the ****ty policies of franchise owners and then takes the heat for them. It's terrible for the players, fans, and public... but great for printing money.

Disagree
Did you miss all this, "His big accomplishments, the TV contract & CBA had heavy assist from Kraft and presumably other capable owners. What is/was his specific value add that can't be done by some other professional? With the 2 overturns of his edicts (New Orleans and Rice) his public image and street cred with the players' association has to be dog meat."
The owners do NOT want to see their exec slapped down and do not want to see the bad publicity on the Rice issue. They also would prefer an exec who could negotiate a CBA w/o needing bail out by an owner.
