Wimpy and looks like Chucky.
NICE! Very true - he’s a douche.
Lena Dunham is a bitch.
Goodell is an earth whore.
Understood. Thank you for clarifying.
I see the ads for that inane “Girls” show and start to get enraged.
The NFL is kind of a tough spot.
I’m sure some politician has more than once said to Goodell, ‘Nice Anti-Trust Exemption you’ve got there, hate to see anything bad happen to it.”
I’d like to remodel the NFL into what the Germans do with their two leagues of soccer.
You put eighteen teams up into the top league. At the end of the season...rig up some championship series with the top four teams. The worst three teams of the league? They get kicked down to the 2nd league...where ticket prices are less, players are on a much lesser pay scale, and you generally never see more than 20,000 fans at any game. The top three teams of the second league? They rise up into the upper league, to get their chance at the big time.
It puts pressure on teams to maintain a good roster, and avoid losses at all costs. It also put tons of incentives on players to deliver, or be stuck with a 2nd league team next year...which means less pay and less airing on TV.
The NFL needs a gimmick like this...because it’s overloaded now with marginal players who ought to be managing a Piggly Wiggly...and not pretending to be a tight end for the Bengals.
Agreed
College players that are physically gifted and bright enough to get useful degree and a good job are going to shun the NFL, especially in light of all the recent concussion awareness stories.
What’s left will be the players with physical talents and no brains to begin with. (AKA Felons)
He’s the spawn of ULTRALIBERAL RINO Senator Charles Goodell or NY so I wouldn’t bet that anyone is forcing his hand.
Goodell is an irmaless earth whore.
College players that are physically gifted and bright enough to get useful degree and a good job are going to shun the NFL, especially in light of all the recent concussion awareness stories.
...dream on...do you seriously think that a person capable of giving pro football a shot is going to choose a workaday job because he’s afraid he might get concussed sometime down the road...?
