Jasovon Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 Noone is worth a salary of $50million that is absolutely gross. You have people living in poverty and guys getting paid that much to run a sport? Disgusting.

OCinBuffalo Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Somebody please name the last thing Godell did that could in any way be labeled "executive managerial leadership performed as expected". I'm not talking beyond expectation. I'm not talking far surpassing expectation. Nope, just "as expected" for a CEO. Can't do it. Hence if I was advising the NFL, hell, IF Godell was any other CEO, with a real board of directors, in any other business, he'd have been gone already. That's why CEO's make the big $$$. It doesn't matter what you did 2 years ago, or that you grew revenues over the last x years. Nope, all that ever matters is the state of the business today, and, only an idiot or somebody with an ulterior motive, would look at Godell today and extend his contract. There has been a pattern of leadership failure, even with the revenue increases. That merely means they should keep the CFO/VP of Marketing. Looking at this strictly as a business(which it is), Godell should be gone, especially given the anthem mess. It's sheer incompetence, based on weakness. The right thing to do was to kill this off last year, before it hurt the business. Small PR pitter-patter problem that could have been easily squashed with a fine and suspension, now == 15-30% losses in revenue? That's not executive leadership. That's being a coward, and giving way to irrelevant pissants for no good reason. Not ever, no way. Godell should've been escorted out by security after the first week of the season. EDIT: Well, there's the argument ender: Fox is having the Navy do the anthem from the back of a destroyer(frigate? I'm Army so I do not care). Take away the camera. Take away the issue. It's as simple as that. Somebody at NFL Media Relations has laid down the law. Kneel, lock arms, hold hands, do the hokey-pokey, spank it....doesn't matter: nobody will be watching. It's like a meeting: "Thank you all for your opinions, but the issue is now closed." Edited November 12, 2017 by OCinBuffalo
26CornerBlitz Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 I'm sure they are just putting this out there to mute Jones.
Happy Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 I hope Jerry is successful. Goodell needs to be replaced.

Happy Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Saw these articles this morning regarding Rog's contract extension situation. Good 'ol Roger values himself quite highly. I don't see why he deserves: Quote Roger Goodell has reportedly demanded $50million a year, up from $30million He also 'wants the use of a private jet for life and health insurance for his family' Here are the relevant articles I read. They're fairly concise so you won't spend a lot of time reading fluff. UK based paper but extensively covers US news NYPost link

Mr. WEO Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Jones setting himself up for massive spanking.
Happy Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 7 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: Jerry Jones makes Goodell look like a paragon of virtue. Completely agree here. I've heard some interesting stories from a long time (since 1970s) Cowboys fan who has done business deals with Jerry Jones on the Star Complex. Jerry is not a moral man. I agree with Jerry that Roger needs to go, but for completely different reasons.
aristocrat Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 The NBA is crushing it with their president and tv deals. the nfl might just need a new figurehead to steer the league. all anyone talks about is protests and suspensions and all this crap. and it would be hilarious to see jones lose his team. not that i have ill will towards him but it would sure be interesting
26CornerBlitz Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 Arthur Blank statement November 13, 2017 Statement from Arthur M. Blank on behalf of the NFL Compensation Committee "The Committee is continuing its work towards finalizing a contract extension with the Commissioner, consistent with the mandate provided in the unanimous May 2017 Resolution. Regardless of what may have been reported, the Committee is working within the financial parameters outlined to the ownership at the May meeting. The negotiations are progressing and we will keep ownership apprised of the negotiations as they move forward. We do not intend to publicly comment on our discussions.”
Happy Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) I really think this is a mistake. It will go from Commissioner Goodell to King Goodell. What's next..."Arthur Blank, you are a true friend of the crown Dilly! Dilly!" "Jerry Jones, follow Sir Brad, he will give you a private tour of the Pit of Misery. The Pit of Misery, Dilly! Dilly! " Edited November 13, 2017 by Happy Gilmore
