    Right, I forgot, this is all on the Players.

    Are the coaches to blame too?

    HELL MAYBE THE FANS ARE TO BLAME....

    Coaches are definitely to blame. They threw their hat onto the ring yesterday. GUILTY!

    Bottom line is Goodell whether you think he's to blame or not is part of the problem.

    Nowhere did I say it was all on the players. Dial down the hyperbole sweetcheeks. I said the NFLPA is more to blame then Goodell. The owners are the most to blame. He's their mouthpiece....nothing more. It's moronic to act like he is the cause of the lockout.

    Someone's a little sensitive today. We all value your opinion so much. Relax. Take a break, write yourself a prescription doctor. I don't see where anyone said you were wrong. Lol...

    Dunno, I think Goodell has a lot of influence on the owners. NFLE is the best example. While under Tags most owners agree to continue the league, despide any "losses", Goodell changed all their votes with his stupid "NFL-is-going-international-BS" Remember, he was voted the most powerful man in (US) sports

    A lockout doesn't really help him. The owners are listening to their own egos and financial advisers

    If so, they should fire them, bc they are worse

    Financial advisers got em in it. Egos won't let em out. You can't fire your ego

    Goodell is probably the worst at actually weighing things out and seeing how they go. He seems to be very impulsive and reacting to what he feels is right despite arguments from either side. This isn't just with the lockout, but all the additional rules he's implemented, when he first got in, and focused on "cleaning things up", no one really was complaining with all the suspensions. When ti got to the point that he was actually affecting the game, that's when he started losing his supporters.
