Contract negotiations are always dicey when business is not going well. After all, what does a business leader have the right to ask for, when he’s essentially failing at his job?
Well, if you’re NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the answer to that question is, a lot.
An anonymous NFL owner familiar with Goodell’s contract negotiations told ESPN, that Goodell has asked owners for $50 million per year, lifetime health insurance for his family, and use of a private jet, for life.
If you’re asking yourself whether it’s normal for contract proposals to become public knowledge during a negotiation? The answer to that is a definitive, no. Which begs the question: Who would leak the details?
It would seem clear that whoever leaked the info, would be connected to Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones, who has launched his own crusade against Goodell.

Hear hear!
Lol! The commissioner of a game show wants $50M per year. Taxpayers have subsidized commissioner’s game show’s studios to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars over the past two decades.
If these scumbag owners pay these kinds of salaries to this deadbeat, liberal trash, those stadiums need to be paid for by the league. This is outrageous.
Goodell has asked owners for
$50 million per year,
lifetime health insurance for his family,
and use of a private jet, for life.
No, they don’t. Certainly not from the IRS.
Failure does not justify great rewards.
I can’t even comprehend the level of arrogance that would let him double down in this situation. Oh, wait... I can; ‘Rats do it all the time.
What does he think? He’s a senator?
> successful people get rewarded and failures don’t.
Liberals often make the mistake of looking at “success” from their own point of view rather than the person they are talking about. For example a company is a “success” if it decreases CO2 output or increases diversity, not if it grows revenue, so the CEO should get a raise in the first 2 cases but not the last.
Goodell works for the owners, not public shareholders. We don’t know their definition of success. We assume it is mostly financial. But it could be anything. Almost 50% of revenue goes to players and players are already talking about a strike in a few years to increase it. Maybe the owners, as a group, don’t care about more revenue when 50% goes to players and a big chunk goes to taxes. Maybe they really want to “fix social issues”. Maybe Goodell knows about all the skeletons in their closet and is keeping quiet. Maybe Goodell is “the guy” for international expansion and that’s where huge revenue growth will come from (without player headaches which they can use as an excuse for de-emphasizing US teams).
Goodell thinks he does something that is worth a new contract. And it’s not based on revenue growth or setting the league up for better TV contracts in a few years. Or maybe he knows he’s gone and is bluffing so owners assume there’s more there (not likely to bluff these guys). Or wants to be let go and using outrageous demands to get the owners to refuse. Whatever the case, I can’t see what’s going on from my point of view and won’t act like a liberal and say he should be fired.
Can you imagine if these people were stripped of these salaries and have to live on 25k per year?
I think Goodell and Congress ought to do this!!! No perks allowed!!
Not only is Goodell arrogant, he has nerve demanding a private plane.
I found a very impressive substitute for the NFL - Darts! Believe it or not I began watching the 2017 championship matches and I was so totally impressed I will scour the web and you tube for more. Even my 13 year old grand daughter and her mother took a keen interest in watching yesterday as we sat on the floor playing 500 rummy and shouting along with the crowd at the tournament. What a great afternoon instead of watching football. Never go back to the NFL until players show the respect that our flag REQUIRES.
In Goodell’s defense, he is dealing with 32 window lickers who call themselves “owners” but refuse to control their employees.
It's only his opening move in the negotiations. He'll never get that package BUT he will get his contract renewed and he will get a raise.
The NFL Compensation Committee gets to decide this deal. It's made up of 5 owners. Jerry Jones was on the committee until last week when the other four owners voted to remove him from the committee. Why? Because he was too vocal in his opposition to Goodell.
Snooker was always a mystery to me, but now that I've learned the rules there are some impressive matches that can be watched on YouTube, and I'm sure some live, or at least newer matches on other outlets.
Thanks, I’ll check it out. Sunday’s will be a whole lot better without football - at least family wise - and that is what it is all about.
True.
All those stadiums are getting subsidies, gtfo
