“Roger Goodell must go.” These words have been written in succession by approximately 5.3 million writers, including our own Doug Farrar, since judge Richard Berman nullified Tom Brady's four-game suspension and shamed Goodell throughout his 40-page decision last Thursday.
Removing the commissioner is a tough sentiment to argue against at this point. It's also a moot one. If NFL owners wanted a change they would have done so in the aftermath of last year's Ray Rice fiasco. On the flip side, if Goodell thought his throne of power and $44 million a year salary weren't worth the criticism, the human mudslinging magnet would have resigned by now.
