Riggo#44 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Per Andrew Brandt (Link: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8452632/roger-goodell-shields-owners-criticism-inherent-part-job) A bloc of owners, including the Panthers' Jerry Richardson and the Jets' Woody Johnson, was adamant about not being leveraged by the substandard job of the replacements and continuing to negotiate with the officials with a hard line, according to Judy Battista of The New York Times. Battista further points to owners such as the Giants' John Mara and the Patriots' Robert Kraft as moved by the events of the Seattle-Green Bay game and pressing for resolution in the name of integrity and brand devaluation. While it's not evidence -- it's becoming more and more apparent who really makes the calls for the owners... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanboyOf91 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Although he serves in an extremely public position, Goodell prefers to operate discreetly, building consensus with varied blocs of ownership alignments. Unlike his NFLPA counterpart, DeMaurice Smith, Goodell avoids rhetoric and sound bites for effect. He has mastered the art of answering questions while saying very little. His comments are bland and unrevealing; he always resists the temptation to respond impulsively or emotionally. Yeah, we're still trying to figure out what the Redskins did wrong. Ultimately, it is difficult for him to show much compassion while representing the interests of owners used to getting their way and unaccustomed to hearing the word no. Try harder, Rog.
