On Odell

Everybody saw what he was," he says. "I've already got a couple people telling me, 'OK, I've got a hit out on him.' It's going to be rough for him this year. And he brought it on himself.

On Goodell

I get that he makes the owners money, but literally anyone could do that. A dog could. He's a dog in a suit. ... Horrible. He's straight horrible."

On the NFLPA

"[The NFL] is a dictatorship, and [NFLPA director] DeMaurice [smith] is in cahoots with those guys."

 

We, or rather Sammy, will see him Friday.

Here's the story behind the story why the Panthers literally received nothing for him. They didn't force a trade, just let him walk. Have fun Washington.

Washington will probably have plenty of fun since he isn't a bad CB.

Nothing wrong with what he said. And I'm a big proponent of the word "cahoots" so consider me Josh Norman's newest fan.

This is right. Cahoots is a word that should be used more often. Everyone is in cahoots with someone, and its time we turn the lights on.

 

In regards to Norman, he'll come back down to earth. He was in the perfect system for his playing style, but will now be thrown into the Washington career buzzsaw. Alot will be asked of him right away, so it should be fun to watch. He'll never stop talking trash though.

The Josh Norman blowback begins, but he says he can take it


“Josh Norman calls himself The Best and Roger Goodell a ‘Dog in a Suit.” (That was 106.7 The Fan.)


“Josh Norman thinks NFL refs are controlled by the mob, the league is too soft and plenty of other stupid [bS].” (That was SB Nation.)

Goodell has made this guy a very rich man for playing a game for a living. He should save the tough talk for his future creditors in his bankruptcy proceedings.

Oh please. He made himself rich. Goodell is awful and NFL is business that can run itself.

What were the TV contracts worth before Goodell became commissioner?

You have to be the biggest sucker in the world if you think Goodell is close to the reason any of that happen. Football gets more popular every single year. College and high school football are big business now. I'm sure in your wrapped mind, you think Goodell is responsible for that too?

 

The guy is completely clueless and he is only there because the owners like that idiot to shield them from all the bullets. Goodell has had more scandals: Ray Rice (he couldn't find a tape at a casino! But tmz could), the cte lawsuits, his insane suspensions, deflategate, etc. than any other major commissioner in my lifetime.

 

Dude is completely worthless and it figures you would defend him.

Arguing to argue again or you actually like Goodell ?

He actually probably likes Goodell because it is so weird and no one else does.

I don't care about Goodell--in fact I never understood why anyone here would even give two craps who the Commissioner of football is. Who cares? Makes no sense--has no impact on me or my enjoyment of football.

 

The fact is that he has been an outstanding commissioner for the owners he has served. He has been in charge of the business as it has grown to dwarf all other sports and what the NFL itself was under the completely forgettable Tagliabu.

 

So, the answer to your question is "neither".

 

You have to be the biggest sucker in the world if you think Goodell is close to the reason any of that happen. Football gets more popular every single year. College and high school football are big business now. I'm sure in your wrapped mind, you think Goodell is responsible for that too?

You somehow fail to notice that all of those "scandals" (all of which were actually about cheating/criminal/just plain dumb behavior of the players themselves--you missed that too) are what keeps the NFL in the top of the front page year round. That is what feeds the ever growing hunger of this country for all things NFL--especially in the off season.

 

In their respective off-seasons, no one even thinks about the NBA or MLB both sports with a billion games, most of which are meaningless. The NHL? It has completely fallen off of the face of the Earth even during its championship series.

 

Does anyone talk about the nobodies who are those sports commissioners? Of course not.

 

Stating facts is not the same as "defending" (so many here struggle with this concept however). The fact is that on his watch, all of this drama has certainly affected the increasingly in your face product the NFL owners are happy to push.

 

You know who would sit you down and defend Goodell to you? Kim and Terry Pegula, and 31 other owners. Are they weird as well?

 

it's all a show, haven't you figured this out yet? Your supposed to "hate" Goodell, he's this villain in this drama. You are just lapping it all up, just as you are supposed to.
