Roger Goodell has a big problem...

Re: Roger Goodell has a big problem...

Heh. What problems could Roger have? Pulls down millions every year, in a job far removed from work like hogging out sewage lines, has a face devoid of a big nose or zits or droopy ears etc. (vital in today's image-driven culture), has a fine speaking voice.

Mr. Roger is sitting on the top of the world.

Unfortunately for Roger, his fans are morons, and we know what a moron's respect is worth.

People respected Pete Ro2ella and Paul Tagliabue. No one except the type of people that used to show up for public hangings respect Roger Goodell.

But it's interesting to see who's willing to go on record that Tom Brady is dead man walking.

I can't imagine how many heads will explode if Tom Brady starts game 1 of the season, which means a guaranteed loss for the Bills in week 2.

You're not a big shot anything.

You are a douche bag.

Never said I was a big shot anything.

Now that you've expressed your opinion, why not go post in one of the many fine threads on the first page? The more you call me a douchebag, the creepier you seem. Are you the thread police? Why not just go away? You'll be happier.

Re: Roger Goodell has a big problem...

Why don't you stay out of my ****ing thread if it bothers you so much?

I guarantee you I won't whine about your absence.

You're a joke. You realize we all come on here and laugh at you right?

Don't get upset because I'm smarter than you. I'm American. And I don't bite at your games.

Re: Roger Goodell has a big problem...

I was listening to Bob McCown's show on AM590 a couple of days ago when they had on a guy named Allan Walsh, who's a sports agent (not of anyone involved) who's also a lawyer specifically to talk about the appeal. He said he'd read the entire report as well and the union's rebuttal as was being asked about what happened next. He's the guy who said that the CBA included a provision that allowed a member to take a case to District Court if they weren't satisfied with the appeal verdict.

Remember, that's what happend in the Vilma case, except in reverse.

Vilma took his year long suspension to appeal, an arbitrator over-turned it and then GOODELL took it to district court, where the arbitrator was upheld.

Now, if you want to prove Allan Walsh, and by association me, wrong on this point, then be my guest, but I doubt the union would EVER sign a CBA that said Goodell was God and his word was final on every subject.

I don't see anything at all in the CBA regarding District Court being part of the process. Again, if it's in there, please point it out. It's a lengthy document and I might have missed it. The 'proof' is the absence of the language in the document, unless you can provide otherwise.

I also can't find anything regarding Goodell initiating a lawsuit, only filing motions to dismiss Vilma's defamation claim.

Re: Roger Goodell has a big problem...

If Brady is willing to take a 2 game suspension, Goodell would be thrilled to drop it to 2 games and the issue is over.

Brady is unwilling to do so. He wants his future political career untarnished.

I think this does go to the District Court and will be reduced to zero games.

Bills fans should protest by __________.

That you are a douche-bag.

Sparty buddy, you are wasting your time attempting to dialogue with this guy. The GFY response is best with him.

Roger Goodell has over $100 million in his bank account.

He also probably has those Spygate tapes locked in his own personal vault with 24 hour security guards watching it.

Roger Goodell does not have a big problem. He has all the leverage an NFL Commissioner could ever dream of.

Re: Roger Goodell has a big problem...

Brady not appealing would be just as good as an admission...he has to appeal. Goodell cutting back the initial penalty, without a really damn good reason, would be just as good as admission to favoritism. He has to stick to his guns. I don't see it being overturned or lessened, and I don't see it going to court.
