B-Man Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Is he getting paid in Euros, Pounds or Pesos ? 😁 Quote

Expand I think he is exceptional at getting booed. I mean, he’s All World there! Everybody makes mistakes, and he’s made his too. He takes crap for the owners for a very nice living. But there are a LOT of people out there who just don’t like others having so much wealth. I don’t resent wealthy people. I’d like to be one some day! Sadly, my PowerBall adventure failed us, and I even got a ticket. On 3/21/2023 at 10:51 PM, B-Man said: Is he getting paid in Euros, Pounds or Pesos ? 😁 Expand Or did he pull an OBJ and go crypto???

Hours? 😋) would you need to do that job at that salary before feeling comfy about your situation? .

He was willingly given a raise by the billionaire owners he works for. Have you ever apologized for getting a raise? I never heard he was holding out or anything. That’s change in the couch for these owners. 🤷♂️ NOW, are people shocked by the number of digits and comma’s in his salary? You bet! It’s natural. I get that. But at the same time look at the salaries of the heads of the biggest businesses in the country/world and it gives some perspective. The NFL is one giant arse money printing machine. It’s a lot of money, but it doesn’t shock me. I wonder if his contract is tied to gross revenue, ratings and bottom the line. One bite out of an elephant can be plenty. Expand Can't argue that point. I've never turned down a raise, even the ones I didn't deserve. 😝 If he was to oversee and manage Fortune 500 companies with the same success as the NFL he'd probably be even more wealthy.

uticaclub Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 He has spread the game internationally and makes the owners more money. There’s even a new TV deal so the games is more accessible. I was at the draft in Vegas and it was fun as hell to “Boo” him but look what he turned that event into, huge money making event. ***** him, but he’s better than Bettman Quote

With those being the primary function of his job, I'm not sure I'd say he's doing a lousy job. He makes unpopular moves, but they are popular with his bosses, and that's what counts for him. Expand He works for the owners, who are the members of the association (called the NFL) . Owners happy, he gets rewarded. Owners are happy. Pretty simple formula. Quote
Mr. WEO Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Easily the best Commissioner of any league. Takes all the punches for Terry and the fellas while the NFL sucks up all the sports fan oxygen in the country----while the owners can't stop printing more and more money while they hole up in their star chamber.... Bettman lords over a long ago once proud league that struggles for relevance. Manfred is watching his league headed in the same direction. MLB is background noise. Silver gets walked all over by the 10 or so players that run his league----a collection of drama, and scads of mediocre talent. 1 Quote
nucci Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) He's commissioner of the most popular sport in the country with revenues around $18B a year . Signed up youtube TV with Sunday Ticket for $2B a year. The league is now in the news cycle year round. The draft is a huge event where cities are bidding for it. He takes all the heat off the owners. He deserves whatever he gets On 3/22/2023 at 11:54 AM, Mr. WEO said: Easily the best Commissioner of any league.

The fact that they direct all their displeasure at him for issues they have with the league is proof of how good he is at what his bosses expect him to do for them. Quote

Expand For some reason, fans of the sport seem to think Goodell works for THEM. He doesn't. He works for the owners as you state. And by that standard, he's doing a fine job. If players are making up to $50 million a year, you know the people that own the league and control it are making a hell of a lot more than that! 1 Quote
