Some lackey, he makes well over 63 million a year in salary (that was his 2019 salary), not mention anything he gets under the table. But that's pretty good money for a lackey.


EDIT TO ADD - shit he makes more than Mahomes

Never said he wasn't an obscenely well-paid lackey, but he has only the power the owners give him and he answers to them. He's a lackey.

When it came to getting rid of Dan Snyder the owners did it because Goodell doesn't have the power to oust one of his bosses.

Ok so he is like a GM to the owners, but as GM, or Well paid NFL Lackey, his job is about results and increased revenue. Owners are like YOU, make us money, we don't care how. You want to continue making $63 million a year, make us money or we'll replace you. All about the almighty dollar.

Part of the issue is Goodell’s fondness for the Chiefs is well known. If you’re a ref even getting the assignment for a playoff game is a big deal. They know what to do to keep the boss happy. The league office had an opportunity to address this after the Texans game with a statement that those calls against the Texans may not have been the best. Instead, they issued a statement (which is an odd thing to have to do in the first place) doubling down.

and some good comments at the bottom of the article.

Moe - I understand where you're coming from with regards to watching games.

Carter - honest question - if "the script" favors your team next year, how much actual joy will it bring you given that "its scripted?" Seems exceptionally hollow.

Questions for both of you:

Is the SB fix set? Are the Chiefs guaranteed to win? Is it impossible for the Eagles to be so much better that they cant overcome the fix? (Here I admit I cant adequately size them up with precision).

I don’t think the SB is fixed for the most part. It’s the teams that get there that matters most. Although I tend to think calls may favor Mahomes due to his status and due to the 3 peat storyline that is paraded around so much.

Fair question. What I’m really hoping is that if Kelce retires and the NFL realizes it is taking a bit of a beating for fixing from some pretty popular figures with huge followings (Jomboy, Portnoy, etc), those two things combine for a more even playing field next year. Here’s hoping.
