Goodell: Pay me $1 if work stoppage
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/N...toppage-012611

Quote:
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will cut his salary to $1 if there is a work stoppage after the collective bargaining agreement expires in March.

Goodell, who makes about $10 million a year including bonuses, said in a memo to his staff Wednesday that chief negotiator Jeff Pash will do the same. Pash makes nearly $5 million a year.

Goodell also has asked the league's compensation committee to delay any bonus payments to him until after a deal is reached with the NFL Players Association.

"Let me emphasize that we are fully committed to doing everything possible to reach a new collective bargaining agreement without any disruption to our business," Goodell said. "The entire senior leadership team stands with me in its commitment to resolving the CBA issues with the player's union.

"While several other executives have also volunteered to make additional reductions to their compensation, I have asked them not to take that step at this time as we continue our negotiating efforts."

NFL owners opted out of the agreement in 2008.

Union chief DeMaurice Smith has predicted the league will lock out the players after the March 4 expiration of the contract with the league.

Really? The guy has offered up a $10 million paycut and none of you are the least bit impressed?

That's a pretty bold step and a spectacular showing of good faith by Goodell, IMO. It may be largely symbolic (who knows if his compensation package even allows him to take the cut), but it's certainly meaningful.

If Cassel offered to give back his entire salary if the Chiefs missed the playoffs, that'd be a pretty impressive move on his part. I know he wouldn't starve to death on account of it, but that's not chump change he's giving back.

Why be impressed? As soon as an agreement is reached, whenever it is, he'll be right back at 10 mil plus.

So?

The NFL is a freakin' cash cow and he's the top official in the league.

Should he work for minimum wage? Why should he not get a salary commensurate with the resonsibility of running a multi-billion dollar industry?

The NFL's owners, (i.e. his employers) could've given $8 million to someone else and had them run the league, I know I'd do it for a hell of a lot less than that. They chose not to - why should I begrudge him for it?

You miss the point. You thought it was a big deal that he will accept $1 when their is a stoppage. To me, big deal. He made 10 mil this past year and will make another 10 as soon as the stoppage is over. It's not a big sacrifice, it's just a PR ploy.

Fair point - if he's just going to sacrifice his salary for as long as there's a work stoppage, it's less impressive than if he would pledge to forego his salary for the season in the event of a stoppage.

However, even under the former scenario, if there's a work stoppage of 6 weeks, he's out over a million bucks. And with this being the offseason, that kind of stoppage isn't at all out of the question (because there's nothing going on right now anyway). So it's not exactly a hollow promise.

I'm not going to erect a statue for him or anything, but it's a meaningful gesture from the league's commissioner and it makes it apparent that he's putting something of his own on the line here. He's actually putting his own cash in the kitty. You say he's only going to lose it for the duration of the stoppage, but doesn't that mean he's got a hell of an incentive to ensure something gets done?

C'mon now, some credit is earned there, IMO.

Or Charles Barkley's tee shot.

Or Margaret Thatcher's reverse cowgirl.

That's asking a bit much, don't you think?

I guess I'd be more impressed if 32 team owners said they'd stop accepting money if they lock the players out.
