Just read Roger Goodells contract demands

[knightrider94]

He also wants health insurance for life for him and his family.

This dude needs to be reigned in.

Source for this? Hell, I'm sure u could get Polian for $20m per yr.

Bleacher Report. There are also tweets in todays tweet thread.

The NFL is denying it strongly. But I personally believe it.

What are we all apparently missing about this clown???? He’s incompetent and I assumed everybody knew it.....The owners can’t find another clown to take the heat for them?

He also wants lifetime health insurance for him and his family. I guess the $50M/yr isn't enough to cover that.

the most important element.

The league is making more money than ever. Each year it has grown under goodell. That is all that matters to the owners, the bottom line.

and the bottom line has never been better for all these guys.

I read today where Nike makes double the revenue of the NFL annually and yet the CEO made 14 million last year. Can't wait till this guy is gone. He is single handily ruining our beloved sport.

These owners didn't become billionaires by giving out contracts like these, not sure what their thinking is now, unless their egos are challenged

Mara is a trust fund baby. He didn’t do **** besides ride the gravy train.

Can’t wait until the lockout/strike happens to hear him explain the players are asking for too much and are essentially greedy.

I would love to know how many made their money not inherited most are all of it.

Guy is going to make 50 million and he thinks he cant afford health insurance? Talk about being out of touch with the common man.

That’s the issue though...numbers have been going down because of his missteps

I'm often very critical of Jerry the GM but Jerry the owner is probably the best owner in football, maybe sports. Goodell needs to be gone. He has completely botched things the past few seasons:domestic violence issues, suspensions, declining ratings, anthem protests, now this? Ridiculous. Get this fool out, Jerry.

They need to be thinking about the future of the league and who's going to be playing the game in the future.

 

[Cowboysfan917]

It's also worth noting, nflpa CBa will be coming up again. Really think they'll resign easily if Goodell is still the commissioner after his abuse of power with Brady and Zeke? How do you think a player strike would help ratings?

This league could fall off fast

Theres actually quite a few of those.

Rooneys
Bidwells.
Group in Tampa.
Al Davis's kid.
Saints group
Bills group.

You get more as the original owners die off.

The lockout/strike is going to be really ugly.

It’s probably going to last for a very long while. I don’t see how it won’t. It’s all Goodells fault as well. The owner’s can’t be happy with all the potential of lost revenue over that. Very short sighted on them if they don’t realize what’s going to happen.

Jerry is the second best owner in pro-sport history behind the "Boss" George Steinbrenner.

I’d throw Mark Cuban in there and the late Jerry Buss

I think it’s to time to redelegate the authority of the Commissioner. This disciplinary arm of the office needs to fall under another authority overseen but not ruled on by the Commish.

I’d suggest a Federal prosecutor, former District or US Attorney. And let them form panels and investigators to perform such duties administering the conduct policy , fines, etc.

The Commissioner needs to be focused on the revenue and goodwill of the league delegating the enforcement of league policies to someone more versed in the law and process.

I'm rooting for a lockout of at least one full season. The nastier, the better. **** 'em all...
