What is going to happen to the NFL over this? Is any meaningful number of people going to stop watching? I doubt it.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Goodell should have never appointed himself the judge, jury and executioner with these player misconduct situations. By starting this new policy and putting himself in the spotlight, it only drew more attention to each instance of misconduct. On top of that, Goodell is as capricious as hell and there was no rhyme or reason behind the length of many of these suspensions.
Ratings will be remain fine, and I don't know if this ends up like Duck Dynasty or like Donald Sterling. Sponsors might start dropping out, but I can't help but think that will just hurt them more than the NFL. A&E was going to get hurt more by removing Duck Dynasty from its programming then the other way around -- Duck Dynasty would have ended up on another network within a year. The Sterling situation was different because there was a real possibility that the Clippers' own players would start boycotting games and sponsors were leaving and the NBA did an effective job confining that mess to just Sterling and the Clippers.
What I do know is it's ridiculous that Roger Goodell makes $44 million. I understand the owners are raking in the cash, but I don't think that's necessarily due to anything that Goodell has done that wouldn't have been done by another commissioner. The increased cash flow probably has more to do with more fantasy players and increased ability to watch games due to maturation of the internet and DVRs during his tenure. Sure, he's increased the exposure to the draft and created another night for football (Thursday), but the ratings for the draft and the games were already climbing before he became the commissioner and Thursday night games were already periodically happening.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”Comment

Just to document the slow death watch of Goodell....
Apparently Rice told Goodell that he hit his fiancée in the face and knocked her unconscious in June, back during his disciplinary hearing.
I wonder if what Goodell is saying about the video is true, and he really didn't see it. Because it sounds like it doesn't matter, since he knew all the details early on.

Hardin issued a statement Friday saying his client's conduct "involves using a switch to spank his son." According to a report by Sports Radio 610 in Houston, Peterson removed the leaves of a tree branch, which he referred to in a police report as "a switch," to strike the child.
"This indictment follows Adrian's full cooperation with authorities who have been looking into this matter. Adrian is a loving father who used his judgment as a parent to discipline his son," Hardin said in his statement. "He used the same kind of discipline with his child that he experienced as a child growing up in east Texas. Adrian has never hidden from what happened."
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

Good thing your father didn't play in the NFL.Originally posted by Pelado View PostGive 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
