Looks like Goodell's master plan of building a $25 billion annual empire isn't going exactly as planned....lowest rated SB in a decade.

That's what they get for thinking everyone was too stupid to notice the outright rigging of games...especially the Chargers/Rams/Patriots.

Now he has brought serious attention to the officiating...they arent going to be able to fix games like they have in the past. Even the most homer of fans is starting to realize there is something off.

What makes you think the officials won't still be able to influence outcomes of games? As long as there are fans who are committed to defending the league's officials for ticky-tack calls, swallowed whistles, or making calls when situationally convenient for the league's desired outcome (but not when it's not [conveniently swallowing their whistle]), why would you think Roger can't keep doing it?
