First the mishandling of Spygate, now a potential lock out. All this after such a promising start cracking down on the turds in the league. Now, in just his 3 season, he is facing a real crisis and this thing is going down quicker than a 2 bit whore with no teeth! Unfortunately, this will secure Gene Up-ya'lls-butt job since to replace him going into this would not seem too wise - or would it....mmmmmmm? This is Roger seeing his legacy turning sour real quick!

Goodell is playing "good cop" to the owner's "bad cop". Whether they do it now or in November it is almost a forgone conclusion that the owners are going to kill the current CBA 2 years early (and it is almost impossible to have an extension negotiated between now and November). So, Goodell is posturing for future negotiations with the union where he can play good cop and tell the union look I'm trying to help you out, because the owners are hell bent on crushing you, etc. IMO…

The smoke about him being ousted is gonna settle down if the man has to get his hands dirty. That, and I always felt like the previous CBA was just Tagliabue putting a band-aid on the situation so he could retire without drama. I didn't think it would last. With those two things in mind, i expect things to get messy well before November. I bet Gene Upshaw is on his knees right now praying that they opt out.
