January 3, 2011

I just received this email from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, which I assume is a blanket email to all fans who subscribe to one service or another through nfl.com .It sounds like he is laying out a framework for the new CBA negotiations, developing...

National Football League

With one of the most exciting regular seasons now completed and the playoffs about to begin, let me first thank you and all NFL fans for your incredible support. Many fans have been asking me where we stand on signing a new collective bargaining agreement with the players union. Let me update you and be clear at the outset:

I know we can and will reach an agreement.

My goal as Commissioner now is to help our teams and players find a solution that is fair to everyone and ensures that football becomes more popular, accessible, and fun. We want the next decade to be the best yet for our fans, and I’m ready to work day and night to make that happen.

We've come a long way. Compare where we are today with 10 years ago. From player accountability to player safety, more and better television coverage, upgrading the in-stadium experience, innovations like the RedZone channel, the Draft in prime time and playing the Pro Bowl before the Super Bowl, we are focused on doing what’s best for the players, teams, and fans. My priority is and always will be the game and the fans who love our game.

The NFL is great because fans care deeply about it. Economic conditions, however, have changed dramatically inside and outside the NFL since 2006 when we negotiated the last CBA. A 10 percent unemployment rate hurts us all. Fans have limited budgets and rightly want the most for their money. I get it.

Yes, NFL players deserve to be paid well. Unfortunately, economic realities are forcing everyone to make tough choices and the NFL is no different.

These are not easy negotiations, but the outcome can be positive. If both sides give a little, everyone, including fans, will get a lot and the game will improve through innovation.

Even in difficult economic times, a new CBA presents us with the opportunity to secure the future of our game. You may ask how will the NFL look under this vision?

A significant change would be to resolve fan complaints about preseason by modifying our 20-game format. Fans tell us they don’t like the quality of the preseason games, and we’re listening. An enhanced season of 18 regular season and two preseason games would not add a single game for the players collectively, but would give fans more meaningful, high-quality football.

Our emphasis on player health and safety is absolutely essential to the future of our game. We are strictly enforcing rules that protect players from unnecessarily dangerous play, especially involving hits to the head. We are changing the “play through it” culture to a “player-first” culture to ensure that if a player has a head injury, he doesn’t play again until his health is certain. We are also addressing the potential wear-and-tear on players in the way they train in-season and off-season.

It’s not just the health of players that concerns us. We must ensure the health of the league. That includes a new system that properly compensates proven veterans and retired players by shifting some of the outrageous sums paid to many unproven rookies. Earlier this year, Sports Illustrated published a list of the 50 highest-paid American athletes that included five 2009 NFL rookies. Every other athlete on the list was a proven veteran. In 2009, NFL clubs contracted $1.2 billion to 256 drafted rookies with $585 million guaranteed before they had stepped on an NFL field.

Don’t get me wrong: top draft choices will continue to be highly paid. All we’re asking for is a return to common sense in paying our rookies. Other leagues have done this and we can too.

These improvements and more will lead to better football, plain and simple. A forward looking CBA that is fair to players and clubs will lead to a great future for the NFL and our fans.

My job is to represent the game — the fans, teams, players, coaches and business partners. Protecting the integrity of the game and ensuring it thrives is a responsibility I take very seriously.

This is about more than a labor agreement. It’s about the future of the NFL. We have to improve and will be relentless in our quest. The commitment to our fans is to make the NFL experience even better in the years ahead. With a responsible CBA, we will fulfill that vision.

Happy New Year and enjoy the playoffs.

– Roger Goodell

O.J. was found NOT GUILTY of murder by a Jury of his peers, and yet he has been crucified by Fred Goldman. I still say that Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered as part of a drug killing--why else where they killed with a Colombian necktie? O.J. Was crucified in the media, but he was found NOT GUILTY of murder. Far be it for me to condone armed robbery, but if O.J. did commit a robbery to get his own stuff back, then he had no choice but to steal HIS Memorabilia back, because everything he owns is now property of that self-serving no good sonofabitch Fred Goldman!

The most dangerous place in Peoria, Arizona is between Fred Goldman and a news camera. Goldman sued for millions of dollars over the death of his son, whose lifetime earning potential as a waiter was probably far less than the $33.5-Million judgment awarded to him. Some of that money was for Punative damages. How can you punish someone who was found NOT GUILTY? That unfair $33.5M Judgement eliminated any hope of O.J. being able to ever live in peace. Anything to stick-it-to-da-man Fred Goldman should be justified...$33.5M simoleons for a waiter? Gimmie a break dude!

HELLO PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES, O.J. Was found NOT GUILTY of the crime of murder in a criminal Jury trial, yet he has had to surrender everything to GOLDMAN because, while the Constitution prohibits double jeopardy, in our warped system of justice, one can still be sued and punished in civil court with a "preponderance of the evidence" quite a different standard than "reasonable doubt".

Now comes word that this whole robbery thing was a SET UP, and now O.J. is in trouble all because he tried to fight back against an unfair, racist, discriminatory double jeopardy system where a person found Not Guilty for something in criminal court can still be tried again in civil court and punished/held financially liable!!!

O.J. WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY--that is an indisputable fact--that he was found Not Guilty of Murder by a Jury trial (whether or not he committed the crime is moot, the undisputable fact is, he was found NOT GUILTY in a court of law), under the standard of "reasonable doubt" set fourth by the founding fathers....and he continues to pay the price.
