Maybe this will make you think twice about this buffoon's chances of winning the appeal.

For the Second District of New York, we learned that 66 of 68 cases seeking to overturn an arbitrator's decision have been denied, which comes to roughly 3%. I have heard higher estimates, as high as, but no higher than, 10% as the likelihood that an arbitrator's decision will be overturned in any given case. Even using that pessimistic 90% estimate that an arbitrator will not be overturned, let's look at the buffoon's track record.

0-5

The chances of this happening is a solid 0.01%, or a cool 1 in 100,000. The chances of prevailing at least once, given the national odds, are 99.999%, or 99,999 times in 100,000. There's a 59% chance an arbitrator would be undefeated in five court attempts to strike down his or her decision, and a 99.95% he or she would have a winning record.

So, I'm trying to point out that we are dealing with a special type of idiot here. This isn't a run of the mill moron, because, I forgot to mention something else:

Although Roger Goodell's federal court arbitration record is worse than 99.999% of his peers, he also runs a multi-billion dollar empire, has access to more money, power, and attorneys than any other "arbitrator", and has already been given a blueprint on how to avoid this outcome by multiple attorneys and even the federal judges themselves.

My question is, how incredibly arrogant, stupid, pigheaded, moronic, impossibly stubborn, egotistical, obtuse, and smug does Goodell have to be that FOR THE FIFTH time he must have told them to shut up and leave him alone while he conducted his kangaroo court in his own failed way? I simply cannot imagine his staff of dozens of Harvard recruiters would not have advised him he needed to allow Pash and evidence discovery during the appeal hearing. It is SO hard to lose an arbitration decision in court, but Goodell has five now without a single win. I truly believe he is the most arrogant man in America.

And the dumbest.

Let's face it: we are excited that Brady won, but this was like beating up on a laughable team like the NY Jets, whose long-term bumbling failures are the only comparable stat to Goodell's record. Wait, where did Goodell used to work?

I can get that he's an idiot but I'm still trying to figure out how there's no one around him educated enough that looks at these so called cases and asks him "what the f are you thinking?"

I guess he's surrounded by yes men.
 
I hope you realize that your nick, "Ray Ray", is synonymous with the greatest Jet fan Pats hater in internet history...Ray Ray19...just sayin, no prob...

Yes, yes he is and they tell him how great he is every day......
Like a certain political of old was referred to as, he woke up on third base and thinks he hit a triple.

Be careful about what you call "old". I think you're referring to a speech made by Ann Richards at the 1988 Democratic National Convention.

I agree 100% with your post, but if you plan on sticking around you really need to find a new screen name...see Jokers post above.

I swear my first thought was, holy butt fumble, if this is the same guy... Or even if if isnt...LOL...Joker and Tunes will have a field day.
 
Goodell was born with a caviar spoon in his mouth. A Senators son who had the yellow brick road paved for him his whole life.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread but Mike just layed a little slap on your special type of dummy (STD).

2. As ESPN's Michele Steele pointed out, the contrast in statements issued by commissioner Roger Goodell and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on Thursday/Friday couldn't have been more noticeable (Goodell's vs. Brady's). I'll take the differences one step further: I have doubts that Brady would have appealed had he lost his court case because of the toll the situation would have continued to take on him, those close to him, his team and the game itself. Before the ruling, some in Brady's camp had hinted to me that he was ready to end it however it unfolded. Some free advice to the beleaguered commissioner: You'd be taking a step in the right direction if you were thinking along the same lines.

I think the word "to" is missing from the thread title?
 
I tried to point out that why hasn't this been more of a story.

Roger Goodell had control of EVERYTHING. the media leaks to create the "tide of hatred" and "accusations of cheating" to get the country on his side and very ANTI-Patrtiot/Brady. It didn't take much of a nudge to get that particular flaming fecal turd going either.

He got to pick his legal team, the format, and had 7 months to determine the process and narrative on how to put the onus of this farce on the greatest player ever. All he had to do was give the appearance of fairness and Brady's ability to get it overturned would have been practically none. Let me repeat that, he had 7 months to figure out how to make any baseless accusation stick by PROCEDURE alone.

and he did everything wrong. Any one of us, with the money they had available, could have mounted a better attack than this team of buffons (and I'm very thankful that they suck as bad as they do) by hiring the right people to help guide the process (glad their arrogance got the best of them too).

Being stupid alone can't explain the lack of execution on their part. They must have been emotionally charged and deranged to be as awful s they are.

Here's my guess on the water cooler talk by two lower level lawyers on the NFL team.

"Well, this sucks"
"Yep."
"We're losing this case, aren't we?"
"Yep."
"Roger's such an idiot."
"Yep."
"Well, checks are still cashing."
"Yep."
"See you at the Jets game."
*sigh*

Honestly I have to think that everyone is advising him to back off this thing, and probably has been for months. He has the final say and just simply won't let it go.

I guess that doesn't include his boss Mara or the 32. Even if he is being forced on this course, I wouldn't feel any pity for him. But, I think this is the part of the job he embraces the most as it aligns with whatever small-man/going to make the world play to me complex he has.

Well, even if they don't support it they will publicly. I don't think anyone would want the image of a commissioner gone off the rails.
 
I read somewhere that if Goodell is fired now, he gets something like a $150M severance package. Think about that for a moment. I can perform my job with gross incompetence and get $44M per year or, if my ineptitude becomes too much for the owners, I retire early with a $150M severance package. He pretty much has free reign to be a loose canon with that deal (and he seems to be exploiting it to the max).

The only scenario where Goodell can possibly "lose" is if he is fired immediately and is wiped out financially by a huge defamation lawsuit. I can't express how badly I want this scenario to happen.

As someone very familiar with rayray19, I strongly doubt that people would confuse you with him. For one thing, you seem to be able to construct legible sentences. Additionally you haven't mangled any common metaphors into hilariously confusing statements.

Joker And I could write a book of famous rayray19isms. So no need to have a canary, rayray
