Kansas City area for who knows how long....
Goodell brought his job insecurity on himself by his power grab, making the commissioner also the head law-enforcement officer. There's a reason the other leagues (and governments) split these jobs - mostly so one guy can concentrate on investigations, take the heat and be accountable or fired - leaving the commish above it all, with a ready guy to take the blame and fall.

Goodell can't investigate himself, so they gotta bring in an FBI guy with top credentials....they oughtta hire TMZ to oversee him...

only Goodell's bosses can fire him, the NFL team owners, and I can't see them getting very organized + united very quickly to do that. Goodell has helped make then a lot of money, Snyder has already said he's behind Goodell all the way, etc. It would have to be done fast as you know by this time in two weeks we and the media will be all talking about something else...

Agree with most of what you say but not this part regarding the owners. The owners know whats up in the realm of both business sense (the public backlash) as well as just basic logic on how this investigation and all subsequent steps (or missteps) should have been dealt with. The two owners that requested the investigation (Mara and Rooney) represent the oldest of a typical old guard contingency of owners. The owners definitely like Goodell and what he has structured to do with expansion and other avenues to increase the revenue. But they also know there are other smart guys out there that could step in if Goodell needs to take the fall and move on out of the league to help restore the NFL's image.

I've already seen petitions by Ravens fans to reinstate Rice. Claiming both were drunk so give him a break. Fuckin bullshit.
