When you have television networks actively competing to televise your product, it sure as sh!t does. Why do you think DirecTV just paid $12 billion to continue to have exclusive broadcast rights to out of market games? Because otherwise nobody would use their sh!tty product. The league rolls on in spite of, not because of him.

What ingenious marketing does he do? When fantasy football became easily accessible (ie, able to be done online) and not seen in the mainstream as, "nerdy", it connected with fans on a different level that doesn't happen with the NBA/MLB/NHL. It's not a time sink, but one is still invested. Much like NCAA office pools. That happened under Tagliabue's watch, not Goodell's.

I still think it's a conspiracy.

Interesting.
Team will not appeal judgment.
Will accept punishment as has been handed down.

Let the legal scholar debate begin but this is what I would call a "quiet" admission. If so outraged, why not appeal it? Food for thought.

Way too funny!

Let me channel Thomas here and say, remember when Arod was going to sue everyone under the Sun?

And didn't Barry Bonds just file a collusion suit?

Sure did. That one will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Kraft needs Goodell to stay as commissioner for Kraft to have the power he has in the league. If Kraft pressured other owners or somehow pushed Goodell out; he may not have a champion/puppet on his side with the next commissioner. The money and draft picks is just the price you pay to be in the position he is. Kraft was stupid to comment like he did before the report came out.

As far as I see it, if your not cheating, your not trying hard enough. Looks like the Patriots are the only team that deserves the Super Bowl championship.

They don't have a monopoly on that. On another note: they really need to get control of the constant rule changes; I can't keep up.

In baseball, has anyone ever heard a base runner say to the ump "I was out' or "I missed second"? Ty Cobb constantly spiked the crap out of the shins of his opponents (he was a colossal douche-bag), and pitchers have always tried to doctor the balls. If you can get around the ump, you can get away with it. Baseball players are always trying to "deke" the play; you know, drop an infield pop-up to get the easy out at second. Football, on the other hand, has gotten prissy.

Obviously the only solution is that if a pitcher is seen scuffing the baseball, he needs to be banned for life and the team he was playing against needs to sue him.
