Perhaps the NFl needs new commissioner?

Yes, I had said that in my previous post, #226.

With regards to a new NFL Commissioner, I can't remember a more inept Commissioner. I also can't think of anything that Roger Goodell has done to better or enhance the NFL or it's image. Goodell's failure to address the Fixing of games may well have cost him a number of football fans as well. When you start to lose your fan base and the revenue associated with ticket and cable access to games, you're going in the wrong direction.
The Saints are not lily white either. The Saints were disciplined for bountygate . Bountygate was where bonuses were paid out for injuring opposing players. One way of looking at this is this is karma.

Perhaps it's time for the team owners to look for another commissioner.
