NFL, Roger Goodell finalizing five-year extension
#1
The NFL is close to finalizing a deal that would extend the tenure of Commissioner Roger Goodell through the 2024 season, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Monday, citing a person informed of the talks.
Goodell, 58, succeeded Paul Tagliabue in September of 2006. He first joined the league as an intern back in 1982.
Goodell's tenure has been one of the most eventful for a commissioner in recent history. From the continued effort to make football safer to sweeping changes in how the game is officiated, reviewed and even watched on multiple platforms by fans, Goodell has been atop the league's masthead for a period of booming popularity and change.
The deal would make Goodell present through the end of the league's current collective bargaining agreement, which expires following the end of the 2020 season.
Garafolo reported Monday that the deal should be completed following the resolution of a few "minor issues." Around The NFL will have more on the pact as news becomes available.

The NFL's demise will now be complete.
What has two thumbs and single handedly is killing the NFL?

Correlation does not equal causation. What has he brought to the table that has honestly increased the valuation of teams? Several stadiums have been built on the idea of teams moving the L.A. Now 2 teams are in L.A. and another is going to Las Vegas. Goodell is universally hated by the consumers of your product. He is universally hated by the players. But ok. Give him credit for the increase in valuation and TV deals. Does he get the blame for the ratings lowering last year?

For the record I think he's an asshat, & was merely stating a fact, w/ these owners money talks!
