Cookiemonster Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Wow, what a show of good faith, this should really escalate the pace of talks. I think that he should be able to get by alright for a year, then they will give him a 50 % raise once a deal is reached. Maybe we should take up a collection for him.
nucci Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I always love when executives do this as a way to show the sacrifice they make. Had a few of them do that at USAirways when I was there during the bankrupt times. Do they really think we fall for this?
JohnC Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 How's he gonna eat. With his expense account $$$$! He'll still have his chauffer driven company car and his company provided NYC apartment. He will still be flying in his company provided corporate Jet. Other than that he is going to slum it.
SHOUTBOX MONSTER! Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 That's Goodell's PR background going to work. Ultimately this will mean nothing, but it sure makes him look good.
Roger Goodell Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I sincerely appreciate the concern from you fans for my well being. As you can see, there is no personal sacrifice too great for the continued prosperity of the NFL. However, please rest assured that my family and I will manage through this difficult period.

gobillsinytown Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110126/ap_on_sp_fo_ne/fbn_goodell_salary I think all of us can take a hearty lesson from his sacrifice. Here is a man that believes in something, and he's willing to buck it up for the good of the league, all of sporting life, and all of America. And to think I was viewing the potential lockout as a pile out-of-touch, insulated individuals squabbling over giant wads of cash, and using press releases and interviews as a cynical, arrogant attempt to generate sympathy. Wow, you learn something new every day.
Fezmid Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 What a douche. Trying to gain sympathy. I don't think he's trying to get sympathy... I don't understand why there's so much venom for his symbolic gesture. Yeah, everyone knows he's not going to starve to death. But it IS a nice gesture to make. would you prefer he made $10M for doing nothing during a lockout year?
cantankerous Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I don't think he's trying to get sympathy... I don't understand why there's so much venom for his symbolic gesture. Yeah, everyone knows he's not going to starve to death. But it IS a nice gesture to make. would you prefer he made $10M for doing nothing during a lockout year? I'm sure he will regardless of what happens. I think it was strictly a PR move. Smith is a douche too, so i'm not one sided on this issue.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Its always PR that management pulls out the look at me I am only taking 1$ while in background they are milking dollars out of stock options and other incentive based pay.
High Mark Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Goodell blows and is truly doing everything he can to ruin the league.
nemhoff Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 10 Mil a year to be the commish, not a bad gig.
Clippers of Nfl Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110126/ap_on_sp_fo_ne/fbn_goodell_salary i hope that dolla goes along way. holla for that dolla
Mr. WEO Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I'm sure he will regardless of what happens. I think it was strictly a PR move. Smith is a douche too, so i'm not one sided on this issue. Of course it's a PR move, but compare it to the PR moves of his woefully outmatched counterpart Smith ("this war"). Only too late will the players realize how disastrous was their choice of this intellectual lightweight to determine their future well being.
The Wiz Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 $1. I think he could at least buy a months worth of ramen with that.
