Goodell got clowned by the player's union through the entire lockout process. I can't think of a meaningful thing the guy has done. He made a joke of the negotiation process, his system of enforcing punishments is almost like he shakes a magic 8 ball, and concussion-gate is a complete disaster.

You're probably right. But do the owners even care? He was able to get the owners another 5% cut in revenue by locking the players out and playing the poor card. He's negotiated billions in TV contracts. He's been able to hardball multiple cities for taxpayer money for stadiums. Soon he'll probably start pushing for 18 games and extra playoff teams to push it even farther.

I'm not in any way defending his administration of the game itself. But him making $20 million a year isn't about that. I'm sure he's not the only guy that could do it, but as long as the $$ is pouring in things won't change.
