The owners are make a bunch of money, and that seems to make Goodell bullet proof, and that does piss me off to no end. Still, I am not ready to throw out the baby with the bath water. I guess it all boils down to choice, you either chose to walk away from the game because of a man that clearly is self so absorbed that he will make up new rules, and ignore , even apparently cover up, cheating to get what he wants. Make no mistake, I think Goodell is bad for the game, and I would love to see him gone and forgotten, but for the moment will not leave the team, or the game I have grown up on. Just my opinion.
    Yeah, I talk a big game, but before you know it, football season will roll around again and the Steelers will be on and I just won't be able to help myself.

    But it's not "love for the game" for me so much as it's "love for the Steelers." Goodell's NFL sucks, IMO.

    Don't see how - to any objective observer, this season has been a train wreck for the NFL and Goodell's incompetence is a big reason why. Between the Rice debacle and Goodell's bungling of it, the Adrian Peterson fiasco, the horrible officiating that continues to get worse and Deflategate casting a shadow over the Super Bowl for 2 weeks as the media went wild with it as he remained largely mum, this season has been a nightmare from beginning to end if I'm an owner.

    Sooner or later, the poison PR is going to catch up. Don't think so? Let me put it this way: I skipped the Super Bowl entirely for the first time in almost 40 years last night.

    Highest ratings ever, and the money just keeps pouring in. And those controversies? They're gold. How many hits on the NFL website, or ESPN, or a dozen other websites focused on the NFL got a massive boost for those very reasons? How many people tuned in to the NFL channel last week at some point because of ball-deflation? Business wise, the NFL is the best it's ever been, and the owners (who are businessmen) simply will not kill the goose laying the golden footballs.

    As for watching the NFL - I never do anymore, either, except for Pittsburgh. Very seldom if ever will I watch a Monday night game, and I pretty much never watch Sunday games because I have to wait until late Sunday night to watch the Steelers on NFL Rewind, or whatever it is.

    Seriously that was the first Super Bowl I didn't watch one single second of since I can remember.

    I have not watched an entire non-Steeler SB since sometime in the mid-90s. I watched about 2 minutes of yesterday's game. I didn't watch a second of last year's SB.

    Re: Patriots vs Seahawks - Super Bowl XLIX

    The money keeps pouring in because people today are sheep, and have no minds of their own. So as far as I'm concerned (and I'm excluding everyone on this forum), not a single one of them have a right to complain about anything the NFL does. Because they keep supporting it, and enabling them to keep doing the very shit they keep complaining about.

    I didn't watch the Super Bowl, I never visit ESPN.com or watch ESPN for any reason (except when the Steelers are playing on MNF or the Pirates are on SNB, which stops this year), and I didn't give the NFL's website a single hit during this whole "Deflategate" saga, which of course will now be conveniently swept under the rug. I've done my part. I'd love it if millions of others would do the same, but they won't.

    The wrost play call I have ever seen in the super bowl with the game on the line. A running Zone read team forces a pass when everybody in American is screaming give to Lynch.

    Even Todd Haley said that was a bizarre call.

    Seahawks fans were claiming there was pass interference on the final INT, lol.

    What? Let an asshole take an important part of my life away? Not hardly. Things change. Much of it I don't agree with. But it's still a damn good game. Goodell can diminish it to a point, but the game is greater than he is.

    So I'm staying a fan and offering no apologies.

    So, watching the Super Bowl means that you support Goodell? LOL, I'm not buying that. How is watching the Super Bowl any different than watching any of the other games throughout the year? By watching the Steelers, aren't you "supporting Goodell" also? Did you buy any Steelers merchandise this year? That would be "supporting Goodell".

    If you want to get completely away from "supporting Goodell", you'll need to stop watching ALL NFL games and stop buying all NFL merchandise. You can't pick and choose.

    I'm a fan of the NFL. Like Zulater said, I'm not going to let Goodell take that away from me. I already cancelled my NFL Sunday Ticket and have refused to buy any NFL merchandise. That's my personal boycott.

    And btw, it was a damn good game. I enjoyed it even though I despise both teams.
    I believe the game is designed to reward the ones who hit the hardest. If you can't take it, you shouldn't play!- Jack Lambert

    I haven't bought a single piece of Steelers merchandise in over 3 years. I did watch Steelers games, but I'm not even doing that next season. At least not live. He doesn't get one red cent if I record the game and watch it later. No more Super Bowls. I'm putting my money where my mouth is, because I despise Goodell that much.

    Patriots vs Seahawks - Super Bowl XLIX

    The more I watch that last play for Seattle the more I think Belicheck owned it the whole time...

    With the clock running down, you might think the Patriots would call time out. For two reasons. 1. They are in a base defense and the Seahawks just came out with a 3 WR set. Advantage: Seahawks. 2. The clock is winding down and it looks like the Seahawks will get an easy score...right? Save some time for Tommy Boy.

    However they don't call the timeout. Why? I think Belicheck knew the Seahawks were going to pass it there. I think he was baiting them into that play and his players were ready for it. Butler said that they practiced that defense against that play all week. It paid off.

    If the Patriots call time out and match personnel, the Seahawks audible to a run against a nickel D and most likely score. Staying in base D and Belicheck is gambling that Carroll will play the percentage and the match ups there and pass.

    Belicheck owned Carroll there. Out coached him in a major way.

    I still think it was a bad call to throw there but understand why Carroll would opt for the play. Butler was just ready for it and broke on the ball like he'd been practicing it all week.

    Possibly. But that was a huge ass risk. Suppose Wilson "doesn't see it" and just tosses the ball harmlessly out of the end zone. ( as he should have) The clock's stopped from the incompletion. So the Seahawks have 30 odd seconds- two downs along with a time out to collect their wits and go "Beast mode" for the win. Had they done this it;'s just a fg game. But the Patriots virtually haven't even left themselves a chance to tie. Maybe get the ball back with 20 seconds to go if they're lucky.

    In my opinion the evil Emperor was more lucky than good with the way this one ended.

    IMO, Belichick was going for the win with his defense out there more so than looking to get his offense back out there. I'm sure we will never know, but the way that play set up, the way Butler broke on the ball and the way Belichick played it overall, I lean far more to the side that they had a better hunch that they knew what was coming.

    Heard several radio sports head yakking about how great it was the refs "let them play". , said would have been a bunch more flags in a non Super Bowl game. Only one reason for that to happen, so the average tune in once a year fan wouldn't see how F'd up the rules are.
