I've tried to start a comment 3 times and each time I've stopped and erased what I started.

#1- I'm not a fan of Goodell.

#2- I presume the players and owners gave him (Goodell) all his power, otherwise he's over stepping it in regards to making the "NFL" lable more important then the game itself. I know it's all about marketing and $$ but I can remember when the NFL and commish were there just to keep the owners together and on page, now it's more about the NFL image.

#3- I have no qualms with NFL Europe. I actually liked seeing the foriegn players playing American ball. I liked seeing the fans getting all excited watching their teams play. I usually don't watch CFL but they have their own league built by their own millionairs. Let Europe do the same. Instead of NFL America putting it together for them.

#4- Take away the BS celebration rules. If the player is taunting the opponant or fans, or if the celebration lasts more then 10 sec., or involves more then 2 people, or the player uses extra devices such as "popcorn" or "sharpies" or whatever then throw the flag. and keep it consistant. The flagged the Pack last night for "going to the ground" (kneeling), yet in the 4th quarter when the Pack made a TD and the player "went to the ground" (kneeling) no flag. Plus the penalty should be assessed on the very next play to follow which would be the field goal vs. waiting two plays later and backing them up on the KO.
