Quote

Goodell, according to ESPN, has made a bid to raise his salary to $49.5 million a year, which would pay him more than the CEOs of IBM, Time Warner, Hewlett Packard, Disney, Nike, Oracle, Yahoo and J.P. Morgan Chase, among others. That is indecent. It is crazy. And it is irresponsible. Small wonder Jones threatened to sue the compensation committee, and wants more transparency on Goodell’s contract. While the owners fight among themselves, the rest of us can only sit around slack- jawed with wonder at their total loss of good sense and perspective.

 

Good lord.

Good lord. 

I'm pulling for Jerry Jones on this one all the way.

He may or may not have ulterior motives in opposing Goodell, but at least he's opposing him.

Goodell is a nit wit so I understand where Jones is coming from. We are looking at a failing NFL that is a damn monopoly and the ceo thinks he needs a raise?

Sally left off a prominent reason for "audience disaffection" in the list in her article though.  Gosh, I wonder why Sally "my politics lie to the left of Vladimir Lenin" Jenkins would do such a thing?

I have no sense of market value for that sort of work, but it's fair to say that job has gotten a lot more difficult in the last couple year. And it sure doesn't look like maintaining the NFL's financial success is going to be easy going forward. 

So, it's not necessarily crazy for a person to request a hefty raise as compensation for more stressful work; particularly if that person is considering walking away from it. (Could he be?)

His total screw up of the protest was just his latest screw up. Seriously though anyone on this board sans a couple could be the commissionor of the NFL. It's has the job complexity of running a Applebee's restaurant.

It's a monopoly and has 0 competition. It's stress level is lower than every manager position in America.

People don't generally get raises because their departments decline (especially when it is at least partly a reflection of their job performance) just because cleaning up the resulting mess is now going to be more stressful.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
