Is Roger Goodell Good For the NFL?

[Daseal]

I think he's done far more good than bad for the league. The personal conduct policy and the way he's dealt with off the field issues, I think you have to give him two strong thumbs up. As far as expansion of the league and the season, regardless of who the commish is, these are always going to be issues on the table. Expanding to Europe has been discussed for years, it's not a Goodell thing, it's always been a long term view of the league. As for the expanded season, it's happened a few times before with success.

I like that there's a player conduct policy, but I do not like how the NFL has handled it. There needs to be a disciplinary group. Right now Goodell has too much say in what discipline a player receives. I don't feel as if his punishments have been standard across the board.

Make the same crime receive the same punishment irregardless of how popular/important/etc a player is to the league. These are some of the same issues you see in the NCAA. We care about the rules... as long as it doesn't affect our bottom line!
