What does Goodell have to do with the penalty issue? That is the competition committee and owners who voted on it, not Goodell. I don't know that he even commented on it.

I hate the long extra points! They should not determine the outcome of games. The only reason I didn't hate the shorter extra points was because they were practically automatic and they seldom determined the outcome of a game.

Picture this: Two teams struggle back and forth in terrible weather in a painful, bloody mess of a game and then it is decided by a guy in a clean uniform making or missing a long extra point kick. Something is wrong about that. It doesn't seem fair to the losing players who fought all game long.

But I'm not an NFL owner who is used to getting the benefits of someone else doing his dirty work. So, I guess it seems fine to the owners that the guy with the clean uniform (or the one in the owner's box) gets the credit for winning the game.
