I don't think Goodell so much as the owners are using Gruden as a scapegoat. Goodell is just the face of the NFL and the reason he's stayed so long and more than likely won't get fired is because the owners like him. Goodell can take the brunt of the criticism while he does what the owners want. I believe the owners are afraid of what will get leaked from those emails being released publicly as I suspect a lot of them have things which they'd rather keep secret.

I also don't think he has it out for the Raiders, it's more like the Gruden situation made National News as well as the player who got drunk and killed someone (I forgot his name). I have no idea where you're getting the Saints info from as I haven't heard anything. The only thing I can recall was what happened over a decade ago with bountygate

A NFL alumni wanted to pull an O.J. by pulling a gun on cops. Not a good idea for him.
TAMPA, Fla. — Two off-duty law enforcement officers drove away from a 31-year-old man at 11:55 p.m. Friday in Ybor City after he got out of his car and took out a gun threatening to shoot them over a parking spot dispute, police say.
The two cars were trying to park in a spot at the intersection of 19th Street and 8th Avenue, but former NFL tight end Orson Charles exited his car and walked towards the other car after losing out on the parking spot, Tampa Police Department said in a news release.

Charles then reportedly opened the door on the driver's side to talk with the off-duty officers and pulled a gun from under his shirt.
"What (are) you trying to do," the former NFL player said to the officers while having the gun in his hand threatening to shoot them.
After the two law enforcement officers showed their badges to Charles, he ignored their credentials, cursed at them and said "I have one in the head," according to an affidavit.
The affidavit said that the pair then drove away from the parking spot due to the risk of Charles shooting them.
An off-duty Hillsborough County deputy was alerted by the two people of the man and kept an eye on Charles until he was eventually taken into custody, police say.

I'm starting to get morbidly interested in the Browns this season because I want to see their fucking clown car of QBs.

C'mon Rosen, it's finally your time to shine after Brissett gets some kind of career-ending injury three games in

Josh Rosen needs to beat out Brissett for the starting job week 1 and show everyone he should have been the number 1 draft pick instead of Baker in 2018

That fucking sucks for him and for the Texans. I think the Texans traded up with the Browns to get him too

Correct. Cleveland sent the pick (#44) that ended up as Metchie for Houston's picks at #68, #108 and #124. Fortunately for Metchie,the silver lining is that his particular kind of leukemia is supposedly the easiest one to treat.
 
I love reading about how a mandatory four hour film session is a part of Kyler Murray's massive contract.

Instead of just questioning, you know, why are we paying this guy that can't just watch four hours of film without incentives so much money?

They are paying him that much money because there aren't 32 people on the planet who can run a pro style NFL offense to an elite level. So they have to do what they can to keep someone who is decent at it. Its why the Rams threw so much at Stafford and the Broncos threw so much at Russell. And the Browns threw so much at a guy who might now play this year. The supply of really good to decent QBs is just so low

I have no idea why they included that, since I'm sure they force him to sit and watch film in the QB room anyway.

Above all I think it's demoralizing to his teammates on the Cards, since, like, this guy could be better if he was obsessed with film like Brady or Manning.
 

Chicago Mayor Proposes $2.2 Billion Plan to Entice NFL Team to Stay; Bears Moving On to Safer Suburb [archive]​

On Monday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot proposed a $900 million to $2.2 billion Hail Mary offer to convince the Bears to stay in their home stadium of over 50 years.
However, the Chicago Bears stated in a press release earlier this month that they wouldn’t consider any other offers, even for their home stadium, Soldier Field. The NFL team reaffirmed that sentiment to ESPN this week, noting that they were set on moving to another location over 30 miles away.


“As part of our mutual agreement with the seller of that property, we are not pursuing alternative stadium deals or sites, including renovations to Soldier Field, while we are under contract,” stated the team.
The Bears plan to move to Arlington Park, the longtime site of Churchill Downs’ thoroughbred racing in Arlington Heights. That area experiences well below the national median of crime levels, according to multiple crime statistic analyses. Census data reports that the area has a median household income of over $100,200, and just over four percent of residents were in poverty.
Comparatively, the city of Chicago suffers from high crime rates characterized by record numbers of shootings. Census data revealed that the city had a median household income of nearly $62,100, and over 17 percent of residents were in poverty.
Along with the Bears’ definitive statement, Lightfoot revealed to AP News that the team refused to meet with her.
Even so, Lightfoot hasn’t slowed on her attempts to further negotiations. Lightfoot explained in Monday’s press release that the $900 million to $2.2 billion would cover three different renovation options that could result in either a fully-enclosed stadium, a dome stadium, or a multi-purpose stadium suitable for soccer games and concerts.
Lightfoot noted that the first two options were proposed with the Bears in mind. She asserted that the Bears would save an estimated $1 to $1.5 billion in costs if they remained with Soldier Field rather than moving on to Arlington Park.
The mayor also launched a website, “Re-Imagine Soldier Field,” as part of her last-ditch effort to win back the Bears. The site offers downloadable digital renderings of desired renovations.
The Bears are one of the latest to leave the city. As The Daily Wire reported, several multibillion-dollar companies have left or are planning on leaving, including the major multinational hedge fund company Citadel.
Lightfoot’s struggle to keep her home team from leaving is about a year in the making. The Bears announced last September that they signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) for Arlington Park, agreeing to just over $197 million for the move. Multiple major business owners reported that the rising crime rates, along with other social issues, prompted their desire to leave. The Bears didn’t elaborate at length on their decision to leave their longtime metropolis home base, though Arlington Park has abundant surrounding acreage for development.
According to Forbes’ 2021 NFL valuations, the Bears are worth $4.1 billion and had $370 million in revenue. That puts them at seventh on the list of most-valuable teams in the NFL.
The Bear’s current lease with Soldier Field ends in 2033.
Fucking LOL, as if anyone needed even more evidence that Groot is as smart as she looks.

I am so happy the bears are moving. Fuck the city of Chicago and fuck their ghoulish mayor. Glad Aaron Rodgers got some sense in him as the owner of the Bears and took them into a part of the city that isn't infested with crime
