Goodell can (and should) be kicked to the curb. But where billions of dollars are concerned? Good luck trying to change things.


I can't stand Goodell, or the whole non-profit scheme, or his $40 million dollar paycheck (or whatever it is).

But the league generates more and more revenue every season. It's immensely popular, and all of these guys -- Rice, Hernandez, McDonald -- and many more, just aren't having an impact on sponsorship or revenue.

People love to be outraged, but they will still sit there and watch football all year.

Me, personally, I don't blame the league or the Patriots for this. I can't speak to his college days, but the team was supposed to know he was a murderer?

I do feel bad watching these guys kill themselves every weekend, though. That is starting to get to me. But, most of them are grown men and know the risks now. So what are you going to do?
