I would say though that one unprecedented challenge he/the league has had--and that a lot of the criticism of him comes from--is this concussion thing and the rules associated with it. I think it is a real problem for the league and they can't just ignore it. I like the big hits too and it's real easy for us fans to say, "meh, they know it is a rough sport. Man up, pussies." If you're an owner or the commissioner, what do you do--just ignore it? Ignore the lawsuits that could cost billions? Ignore that people are getting brain damage from participating in the business you run? You don't think they need to address it? Surely you can at least understand why they think they need to address it. |

The Thursday night games do seem unfair to the teams having to play Sunday and then 4 days later, but I can't say that I hate having a game to watch on Thursday nights.
People always say the games are shitty, but has anyone ever really done a "study" of the shittiness? Is there something to measure to show that the games are worse? Is scoring or yardage or something way up or down compared to normal? I don't know...just asking. |

Instead of overtime, do a soccer style shootout with field goals instead of penalty kicks to decide games which are tied at the end of regulation.

This is basically the college rule with five yards shaved off. It is a judgement call. Why should the offense be bailed out on what amounts to a judgement call by the ref? Remember, the offense also gets to replay the down.

The first thing I would do is allow coaches to challenge anything. just like belechik and other coaches suggested the last offseason. Especially bullshit pass interference flags.

Hand the reins over to Condeleeza Rice, resign, and enjoy the games.

Goodell is a shiny object chaser and a spinner. Concussions are up? Let's just flag players for hitting too hard. Goodell reacted to the concussion issue instead of proactively trying to fix it. He is afraid to mandate mouth guard usage and basic safety equipment because he's afraid that it's an admission to the players Union that they ignored it in the past. Goodell has been credited with the success of a cash cow that was going to grow no matter who was commissioner. The guy has botched almost everything he has put his hands on. The only thing he's done is make money but at the expense of the integrity of the game. |
