BREAKING NEWS: The NFL has extended Commissioner Goodell's contract another five years to Mar 2019, had been due to expire Mar 2014...

[rayzor]

because he's grown the business.

like it or not, his rule changes have helped to improve the long term health of players and helped to extend the careers of many (not to mention cut down on the # of potential lawsuits agsint the league, which is another good for business move).

he sucks at being commish

[dimbee]

Getting that crazy lucrative TV deal done was quite the feather in his cap to go along with the new CBA

[TNPanther]

He has done more good than harm to the league, believe it or not.

With that being said, some of the things he does pisses me off, and a lot of players don't like him.

yep, people hate him but from a business perspective he couldn't be much more successful.

He just got a new CBA in place without missing games, signed a lucrative tv deal, and the NFL is the top sport in the US. Yeah, this guy sucks balls. Clean house!

hurrayy for turning football into a pussy sport! Ohhh...and Im sure he wasn't part of the reason why there was a disagreement with the CBA in the first place but he should get all the credit for getting a new one in place. Best commish ever!

[Panthro]

The best commissioner in sports....so that says something

Not sure what though :)

[Cat'sGrowl]

He made a dollar this year. That's why. Hoping they can have him do it again.

commish had nothing to do with the cba disagreement.

the owners didn't like cba as it was constructed (under tagliwho) so they opted out when they could.

keep up the irrational hate, though.

As long as he doesn't keep trying to put a franchise outside of the country and push for an 18 game season, I like him.

[rayzor]

he'll do whatever it takes for the business to grow.

players will hate him, but they'll get paid more and be healthier after their careers are over because of what he's done. they'll get over it.
