[NEP4Life]

NFL expected to fine Rex Ryan up to $100,000 for cursing at fan - Shutdown Corner - NFL*Blog - Yahoo! Sports

Word is that, in addition to the 100 grand, Rexy will have to throw in a foot massage.

Well you'll have to forgive me if I don't catalog and cross reference every post you've ever made. Quite honestly, the ignorance of football you regularly display makes me quite likely to just skip over any post you make in general, save those addressed specifically to me. But I generally don't waste my time reading your posts, as you have demonstrated time and again you know very little of which you speak.

If you have a point to make, feel free to make it because I'm still waiting for anyone to give me examples of how Goodell is a poor commissioner (beyond the 2 examples I already gave). It does not fall upon me to research your points for you.

All I know is the NFL is the best, most well run professional sports league in the country, which recently came through a major crisis unscathed. The people who refuse to give the commissioner any credit whatsoever for that are nothing but ignorant haters.

I've made my point, and it does not fall upon me to worry overmuch about your ridiculous claim. You don't feel a need to research, and I don't feel a need to pull up my past posts on a topic that I've been pretty outspoken about.

And, again, when it comes to ignorance, you really shouldn't be pointing fingers at other people.

Find something Goodell has done that was wrong besides these two "things" you mention, Wolfpack??

uh...there's this thing called Google...ever hear of it??? you google "Roger Goodell's mistakes" and there are thousands of links you can read...true story!...here's one..

Harvey's Global Politics - HGP: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's Double Standard For Players and Coaches by Greg Garrison

you probably won't like it because it doesn't mention how Goodell "SAVED THE NFL"...just run of the mill FACTS you seem to be seriously short on...

 

[Wolfpack]

obviously,YOU cannot read bolded English...your argument is with Jeff Saturday...I have his twitter acct....I'll shoot him a tweet informing him that YOU are calling him a liar and that while HE thinks Bob Kraft saved football during thisi strike, YOU know it was Roger Goodell....we'll see what he has to say...

What part of

"A lot of people deserve credit for the NFL not going to oblivion, even temporarily, by getting this new deal done"

did you not understand? I didn't use too many multisyllable words for you, did I? BTW "thisi" is not correct English by a longshot...you are also a very ignorant hypocrite.

(BTW multi-syllable is not correct English by a longshot...you are also a very ignorant hypocrite. Try to speak in multi-syllabic English next time.)

Hey Einstein, "multisyllable" is an actual word.

Multisyllable | Define Multisyllable at Dictionary.com
Multisyllable - definition of Multisyllable by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

So please tell me how it "is not correct English by a longshot." I'm sure you won't be man enough to admit you were mistaken. But I can't find the word "thisi" in those dictionaries though. So what were you saying about how you're an ignorant hypocrite?

You haven't made your point. All you've done is stated your thesis. Now that's perfectly fine for opening remarks but you've done absolutely nothing to actually support that thesis.

Yeah, I've heard of google, and I'll tell you the same thing I told Deus Irae: It does not fall upon me to research a point that you are trying to make.

That it? That's your big "Goodell sucks" moment? The fact that he didn't fine Harbaugh or Schwartz for yelling at each other as they left the field when it was a first offense for both coaches and Harbaugh apologized afterwards?

Good Lord it's funny how you don't even realize how much you're supporting the point I am making with such a pathetic, pathetic example.

 

[Joker]

multi-syllable is wrong as you were using it...multi-syllabic was correct..one is a noun(third grade English) the other an adjective....YOU figure out which one.

it's not MY big point you unbelievably obtuse crybaby...it's the point of the author...one author out of thousands of others...you have a severe lack of ability to discern the obvious.

 

[NEPatriot]

Yeah, I hate Rexy as much as anyone, but this is a little excessive. Of course, it's typical GOD-dell so it's not surprising.

Agreed. While he should be fined, it it's that much I think it's too much.

 

[Wolfpack]

multi-syllable is wrong as you were using it...multi-syllabic was correct..one is a noun(third grade English) the other an adjective....YOU figure out which one.

Yeah, and "thisi" is wrong the way you were using it because there is no such word. And you have horrible sentence structure. And you don't capitalize. So if you want to sit here and discuss our grammar, then have at it. Or if you want to be an adult (for a change) and realize that this is an informal forum where 99% of us just throw down ideas without worrying about proofreading, punctuation or spelling, then feel free to continue without making a greater fool of yourself.

it's not MY big point you unbelievably obtuse crybaby...it's the point of the author...one author out of thousands of others...you have a severe lack of ability to discern the obvious.

Essentially your argument is broken down to where you have literally just stated "Someone wrote it on the internet, therefore it must be true." After all, someone named "healthysouls" posted it on some website called "harveysglobalpolitics"!! So THAT'S PROOF!

Oh noes! Goodell didn't fine Harbaugh or Schwartz! Therefore he is a horrible commissioner!

I rest my case. That's what we call you being PWNED. :rocker:

 

[Joker]

a typo is far different than outright ignorance of proper English....

I didn't LITERALLY state anything of the kind

YOU made the preposterous assertion that Goodell has been a "GREAT COMMISSIONER!!!"...I simply informed you of the search engine that displays thousands of hits when "Roger Goodell's mistakes" is used as a search term...I have neither the time nor inclination to explain every link displayed as proof in some cyberspace war between you and your windmill as you strive to protect the virtue of your Dulcinea (Roger Goodell).In fact, your bleating protestations remind me of a DeBergerac quote...

"I would die at the stake rather than change a semi-colon!"

and with that, my good man, I bid you adieu for the night...

 

[reflexblue]

Rozell and Tagliabue built the NFL to where it is or was. Goodell's micromanaging, and constant medaling is undoing what they built. He needs to go, but he just received a new contract last year i believe.

====================================================

Sir, I will not allow you to insult me in this manner.
DeBergerac-Really? In what manner would you prefer?

I made my point. Your displeasure at it having been made at your expense is neither an undoing of what I did nor of particular interest to me.

Translation: When I make a mistake, it's proof positive I am an idiot. But when you make a mistake.... well, that's just a typo and could happen to anyone.

Yeah, I don't blame you for backing down. You've done absolutely nothing to support your statement beyond posting a link written by someone we've never heard of on a website we've never heard of. It was an especially lame effort.

Ya, the NFL has really gone downhill over the past 5 years.

 

[Wolfpack]

You stated your point. You neither made nor supported it in any way whatsoever.

 

[TheSolderKing]

As much as I hate Rex Ryan, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. My seats are a section away from the visitor's tunnel (118) and I see players do FAR worse on a every game basis.

Coaches are supposed to stay out of this crap... What if every coach ran his effing mouth and cursed at fans heading into a tunnel towards the locker-room? Lead by example ppl

Rex Ryan went way too far... Did Rex want to look all big, bad and cool when he was near his players? GROW UP Douche Bag.

Learn to ignore insults you clown

 

[grandpajim]

Excuse me gentlemen, but I beg to differ.
While I agree that the fine situation has gone crazy (control freak - Gronk $7,500 for spiking on a TD - please!)
I feel that Rexy deserves to be fined excessively because he is a perpetual, bombastic, bafoon,
Enjoys sticking his foot in his mouth a little too much for my taste & he's uglier than my bulldogs behind.

The issue I would have in regards to the defense of Goodell in this thread is that it equates the popularity of the NFL with the performance of the league's commissioner.

There are many other variables that need to be factored in; to imply that the 'NFL is popular; therefore Goodell is a good commissioner' is a rather superficial and overly simplistic analysis.

Well the support of my thesis relies on more than just the popularity of the league. Basketball is popular (not as popular as football but certainly moreso than hockey) but that doesn't make David Stern a good commissioner.

Goodell is a good commissioner because he has taken a popular product, continues to expand it, the ratings keep getting better and better, it is becoming more and more of a year-round force in the sports world, it's generating record amounts of revenue and as commissioner, Goodell contributed to the effort to save the league from Tagliabue's disastrous CBA by helping to install a new one with nary a single game missed (oh except the HOF game, whoever was playing in it this year).

And where's the evidence that he is as bad as people say? The only thing someone put forth was saying he is a bad commissioner because he didn't fine Harbaugh or Schwartz for yelling at each other after shaking hands. Pretty pathetic retort.
