WAHH!! Poor Rog....

[Discipline of Steel]

I've never felt less sympathetic about anything in my life.

"Listen, it has been a tough year," Goodell said at his annual state of the league. "It's been a tough year on me personally. It's been a year of, what I would say, humility and learning. We obviously as an organization have gone through adversity, but more importantly it's been adversity for me."

What an out and out narcissist. Especially with his $40+ million pay package and hes ducking the truth worse than those he sits in judgement of.

I can only wish for a football miracle this off-season....

2014 goes down as a black mark for Roger. I hope he has learned some valuable lessons. There were plenty to be had, that's for sure.

I just don't like the direction of the NFL. For me, and probably many, he is not a good era.

[SteelCrazy]

He accomplished what the League wanted in his era. Spend less money. Be less accountable. Earn more money. Protect the valuables.

Now, for the true football fans, he has been a destroyer of everything good about the game.

It seems to me that the Commish is too out in the public eye. Maybe I'm mistaken, but it doesn't seem like the commissioners of the other major sports are as ubiquitous.

[Discipline of Steel]

Maybe he thinks hes one of the biggest stars in the NFL since he has one of the biggest contracts.
Unfortunately, the word pussification was coined to describe his contribution to the league.

Goodell is the whipping post for the NFL team owners. He is their puppet. He is already letting us know, the Cheats won't be held accountable for the deflated balls when he said, they aren't even sure if any wrong was done with the balls.... It's time to boycott the NFL.

He's a schmuck. If that had been the Steelers playing, you can bet your azz there would be penalties a plenty.

I read somewhere that he and Robert Kraft are fraternity brothers. I think that essentially, he'll look the other way at any possible *'s scandals.

[RobinCole]

I doubt they are fraternity brothers. The article you may be referring to suggested that they have been "virtual" frat brothers since Goodell became commissioner. Kraft was a member of Zeta Beta Tau at Columbia in the early '60s. Goodell went to Washington & Jefferson, which does not have a ZBT chapter.

Thanks for clearing that up RC

With the Cheats winning the Super Bowl I would have to guess that, the NFL will now do anything against the Cheats. The NFL will have to admit that they cheated and that the Super Bowl this year has a blemish to it. Just like the other SUper Bowls the Patricheats cheated at.

[Slapstick]

It doesn't matter after the fact. The NFL made sure to make their money off of the SB. Even if they actually decide to punish the Pats**, hopefully by vacating the wins, they don't have to give back any of the money.

They can "protect" the integrity of the game AND keep all the money...
