We all know at this stage that the only people who can hurt Goodell are the owners. he doesn't give a rats ass what the fans think, what the media thinks, what the players think. And why should he? He earns tens of millions from the greedy old men of the league and he can say or do anything he wants to and he knows they'll have his back as long as the cash keeps flowing.
The courts can hurt him too.

I was going to add the courts in as well because actually, they can't. Even when b**ch slapped by Bearman, he shrugs it off and appeals and probably has a decent chance of the penalty being applied after the appeal because as the designated arbitrator, powers given to him under the CBA, he can do whatever he wants. Bearman was a small spoke in the wheel.
And even if the appeal confirms Bearman's decision, do you think he will really be affected? He just backed Kroenke for LA, a decision that is going to net the NFL even more riches and he was backed by the heavy hitters like Jones who came out of that battle on top.
This guy is untouchable, he's way ahead of even a mafia don at this stage.
Hawg73;2340050} A minor annoyance is still an annoyance and eventually all these court cases are going to make Roger's handlers wonder if there might be another stuffed shirt they can plug in that will still be a rainmaker without getting everybody pissed off at the league.[/QUOTE said:I think that has already happened with the talks with the PA about independent arbitration that has been supported by the owners. The issue with Roger is not the business side but the disciplinary side. The question is can he reel in his ego? I don't believe so. The disciplinary side is where he gets his jollies.
The suit is filed against Kraft too.
I may live just over the border in "Canada" on that map, but at least I know how to spell Northampton.
Where Newport on that map. It is a major tourist location in NE.
It's not in Massachusetts, so it doesn't exist.Where Newport on that map. It is a major tourist location in NE.

Besides, we have the Vineyard and Nantucket.
So the only place that matters is mass.
