Roger has done nothing for the fans and everything for the owners

This is how he keeps his job

Football is now on 4 days a week, coverage 24/7, and accessible almost anywhere. The game is safer a little bit more every year and players are playing longer and longer. 15 years ago Josh Allen would have maybe 2-3 more seasons left. 
 

Jerseys and tickets are expensive, but watching from your couch is cheap.

I question whether that is Roger himself but rather the owners and NFL committee who have moved the league and it’s coverage in that direction.

Hey Roger, grab that Saudi money next bro.

Now we're talking...a Saudi game where the Fins have to sit in the non shade side.

Of course he is he makes the NFL owners lots of money in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

That was Bert Bell.

 

Rozelle expanded the league.

 

Bell had a deal with a now defunct TV network to share revenue among owners from 1 game a week.  Not a big challenge because the game in the 50s was largely driven by stadium attendance.  Teams also negotiated their own TV deals locally which wasn't shared.  Rozelle came in and not only expanded the league, he took the increased revenues from gate and television deals and shared that among the NFL owners. And much of that required getting more games on television across multiple networks.

which efforts?

 

Not saying he has made any efforts not to see it succeed, just saying this country is so football crazy he could and it would make little difference, people would still watch it.

He has improved from being an absolute joke of a commish to a decent one. But man, he was so bad and a worm could run the nfl and make it s ton of money. Best job in sports.

My point was the the concept of sharing revenue already existed and to some degree had been agreed to before Rozelle.

This country used to be baseball crazy.  A succession of Commissioners have watched it become almost irrelevant as the NHL.  Why is that?

Maybe he can finally afford to get the big screen 📺 he’s always wanted for his basement? 🤔

...what's that I hear...?

 

The sound of Patriots fans heads imploding. They really dislike the man.

[SoCal Deek]

In a word…..YUCK!

It's OK to take the L sometimes WEO.  I promise you it won't hurt.
