With the Brady ruling, Goodell's image obviously took a hit.  The media sentiment has been that the owners love Goodell because the league is making money.  At the very same time, the media says that the NFL is sui generis, and makes it's own money regardless.  If that's the case, getting rid of Goodell would be irrelevant seeing as how the consensus is that people will always watch.  Further, if Goodell is out, it seems that the brand would grow even more considering the general public hates him.  IMO, it seems that the only thing saving Goodell's job is his effort to expand the NFL abroad.  That's money, and the owners listen to that.  What's the Huddle's opinion?

Well written and equally thought out. I'm not sure what the targeted debate is though?

The thread, more or less I guess, is meant to be a Panthers forum fan discussion on Goodell's teetering [as I see it] position as head man of the NFL.  Free commentary is encouraged.

general public hating Goodell doesn't prevent them from making money...

he he is a face to hate....but basically instead of directing the hate at Richardson, Jones, etc.  Goodell gets most of it.  Owners like that.  

He is growing the game and the NFL is more profitable than ever.  He also despite the court rulings last from an owners perspective has done a great job against vs the union.

i think the owners are very pleased overall.

RG is judge, jury and executioner........as it should be.

union signed on to it...... Courts should not be involved.

The thing with the courts, they can step in when the CBA--ANY CBA not just the NFL and the NFLPA's--is violated.  An arbitration award is nothing more than a contract.  That contract has no legal effect until the legal system gives confirmation.  The only reason arbitration exists is because the legal system needs to divert flow.  This CBA and the resulting negotiations wouldn't even exist if it were not for the court system allowing it.  So, to say the courts should not be involved is missing the point that the courts were involved in the first instance and have tried ever since to not be.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
