I'll believe the players striking over Goodell when I see it. Their CBA has a no strike/lockout clause through its expiration (prior to 2021 season). The percentage of players on NFL rosters today who will be on NFL rosters during the 2020-2021 offseason is going to be surprisingly low. If Moron just hangs low from here on out, will today's college players (and in some cases, high school players) care that much about it?

Oh yeah Mara. Goodell is viewed poorly because of social media. Jesus.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Man, ownership is so far up its own ass I don't think they'll ever find their way out. Apparently DeMaurice Smith is solely to blame for the relationship between the league and PA becoming combative.

“I think it’s largely due to the social-media age, and the fact that he had some high-profile cases and admittedly made some mistakes,” John Mara, an owner of the Giants, said of the attention Goodell receives.

Give us an example, John!..and then there's:

“Once he makes up his mind, he certainly has a strong opinion on things,” said Art Rooney II, an owner of the Steelers.

More like unreasonable, Art!

More like unreasonable, Art

That alone is why he should never arbitrate a case

“The whole reason you have a commissioner in any sport, the most fundamental reason for that office, is to protect the integrity of the game,” said Jeff Pash, the N.F.L.’s top lawyer.

I think I'm going to be ill...

The players won't keep it together.....too many Carson Palmer types

Pash...thats like Squeaky Fromme saying Charles Manson is a good dude.

I have believed for a long time that Goodell is deliberately being heavy handed and completely unreasonable to make his Article 46 authority a bargaining chip to use to get the 18 game season.
