DirectTV monopoly
No rookie salary cap
Increase in ticket prices during a recession
World Football League folds
Unconstitutional random drug testing
Lack of integrity on suspending players
Rule changes that seem to make no sense, annually
Pink accessories for an entire month
Increased blackouts in local markets
Lockout looming
Does nothing to help the college game when more of his players come from there than any other sport


His accomplishments:
plays in Wembley stadium (I really don't consider that an accomplishment, but I'm just trying to say at least 1 thing nice about him)

DirectTV monopoly was supposed to end in 2007, then 2011
Now, that's bumped up to 2016

[darrell74]

Rookie salary cap:
Goodell pleads CBA CBA CBA
We all know the NFL breaks more contracts than any other sport

[darrell74]

Increase in ticket prices during the recession:
He says that they need to increase the value of the viewing pleasure for the fan.
So what does he do, he gets red zone channel in all 31 stadiums.

Really!!! When you go to a game, you're not gonna be upstairs, next to concessions and crowded restroom lines watching a monitor.
How useless is that!!!
Then you think, they can go watch redzone channel at halftime- but they're all at halftime at the same time anyways.

He says he wants to bring football to Europe which is why they play in Wembley Stadium, once a year.

Remember, the World Football League folded under his watch.

People, that DirecTV exclusivity contract is something News Corporation (parent company of DirecTV) would fight tooth and nail to protect. Without exclusive rights to Sunday Ticket, DirecTV probably wouldn't be profitable. There's a reason they can offer you 5 months of regular programming for free when you sign up for it.

Some of these random drug tests are done in public restrooms.
I'm not a lawyer or anything, but drug test in gas stations and hotel lobbys are just weird sounding to me

[darrell74]

Rothlisberger goes from 6 to 4 game suspension.
Yeah, I guess when you're king, you can change your own rules at anytime you like

[ThisComputer]

he really should be. i dislike him alot

[darrell74]

The game was fine, 20 years ago, with the rules it had back then.
But it changes every year and he's not to dilligent in getting the memo to the paying fans.

He changes dum shit every year.
This year its that dum catch with Calvin Johnson.
Also, he had the referees lining up behind the quarterback.

We've had tuck rules
hands on recdeivers
challenge inside 2 minutes
late hits on the qb
can't hit the qb below the knees
Just a bunch of dum shit rulest that gets annoying as shit to put up with.

Doesn't make the game better, makes it inconsistent

Breast awareness is an alright cause, but all those cancers are bad. Cancer is cancer. Red ribbon may be more apporpriate.

Really!!! Making a bunch of dudes wear pink for a month is ******* gay as hell. You can't get any more gay than that.

If he wants to do something with the women of the sport, do something with the cheerleaders.
But dudes in pink is phuckin flaming. Another Goodel idea.

[darrell74]

Tagliabue went from 40% blackouts in the '80"s to less tha n 1% blackouts before he left us.

Goodel gets in and it gets worse with his stupid shit.
Increasing prices the country goes into a recession. That's just dum.

[darrell74]

He has the most successful sport in the world and they may shut down for a year.
HMMM....
If someone told you that they ran a business and was able to sell more hamburgers than anybody in the world. Then if they went out of business the next year, you'd think they were retarded.

[darrell74]

When is the last time you can name a football player that wasn't from the NCAA.

Safe to say 99%+ of NFL players are from the NCAA and that's way more than the other 4

The other sports do try something.

NFL, what do they do?
NCAA coaches have been screaming at the NFL for some help.

I agree with you.

To me, it seems like DirectTV continues to have problems making this thing profitable, when they;re given a monopoly. They bitch about it not making them enough money. NFL gives them the exclusives.

penetrates us consumers over that might not be able to get it.
I moved into a new apartment, told them I got to have my balcony face south.
Funny thing is I found a bar that had 8 50" T.V.'s and free WIFI. $3 huge burritos, and I'm thankful.

But this monopoly shit drives me crazy, sometimes.

[darrell74]

he really should be. i dislike him alot

Is their anybody out there that does like him?

I would like to know.
