Giving the power to Goodell was almost as bad as congress giving all that power to Bush, Bush ruined the country and Goodell is ruining football. Pete Rozzele is rolling over in his grave.

@Anthony Grescavage I agree with you that New Orleans isn’t the only place this happens. Which, for me, completely justifies the punishments. Somebody had to become the scapegoat in all of this. A clear message needed to be sent to the players and coaches that this stuff compromises the integrity of the game (bad for everyone, most of all the fans) as well as uphold the whole ‘player safety’ mantra the league supposedly believes in.

I don’t think that Goodell should be the one solely handing down punishments. But, I also think that were a committee/panel take care of this we would see very similar results. WIth regards to the WWE – who wouldn’t love to see James Harrison take on Goodell in a cage match??!!

I certainly agree that there should be punishment for such acts, but I think what they were issued was quite ridiculous. I think Goodell is ruining football. It’s starting to feel more like the WWE than the NFL.

If you think the only place this sort of thing happens is New Orleans, you probably don’t see my point from the previous statement because you think the WWE is real…
