If Goodell goes I'd imagine the next person being even worse. The genie is out of the bottle...the NFL isnt going back to what it used to be unfortunately.

Welcome to the right side. Tues/wed/sat/sun is reserved for the real footballIm just enjoying what i can before my interest slowly dies out. It started to deteriorate in 2014 and only getting worse.
Plus i been following more of the real football (soccer) this year afer getting access to all EPL games
I would not be surprised if the Pats Bengles(Brady back and what not) game gets flexed next week for the Colts Texans game.

Yea, I'm sure much of the changes we hate were done at the owner's behest.
I just remember when he took the job and one of his biggest pillars was how he was going to crack down on player misconduct....he's failed miserably at that

It's all about the inches
I expect more Primetime Pats gms and yhose ratings will be up again
Fantasy football 'ruined' it.
I still watch Bears games, and the afternoon game(s) if they're not good I just keep them on in the background

He's endured because he keeps making money for the owners
Any qualified candidate would have made them money. Tags had things set up nicely when he left. You might could sell me on Goodell being a great negotiator and the advantages he provided in negotiating the CBA, but the NFL was a cash cow when he took the job. They didn't need him to make money.
Fantasy is probably one thing helping it chug along tbh
Look at all the rule changes towards offense and see how they coincide w fantasy football popularity......
Fantasy would still be fantasy with less points scored
I don't doubt nfl wanted to increase scoring, every sport does, but it has more to do with excitability than fantasy imo

That's one of the main reasons the game is suffering. There's an extremely small. percentage of the players who get in trouble and that should have been his stance when addressing the media. Handle the trouble makers quietly but he chose to put them on front street. Spygate, Bountygate, Deflategate, Ray Rice, and AP overshadowed the game.
