“NFL STORY LINES”
==========
Big stories before we get to the Big game on Sunday.
Questions for Commissioner Roger Goodell:
TV DEAL…As NFL ratings explode and the world leans more and more towards streaming, is the NFL going to take a big payday and put the Super Bowl on Pay TV-streaming?
EPSTIEN REPORT…So how do you determine the truth of fact-fiction, lies, half-truths, name dropping in the 433-Emails between the Sexual predator and New York Giants owner Steve Tisch? This falls under the Personal Conduct Policy Code for owners-does it not? And what if other NFL owners names show up in future documents?
18-GAME SCHEDULE…It s always about the money, so therefore you go forward with an 18-game schedule, players health be damned. What price do you attach to the players health? What do you give the Union? 2-bye weeks for each team? An increase roster from 53-to-65 players?
INTERNATIONAL PLAY…9-games abroad this year, again to sell the game globally and to generate more global revenue. But what kind of impact does it have on quality of play and the travel impact on teams?
ROONEY RULE…A near record 10-openings and only one minority hired, despite demands each team interview 2-minority candidates for head coach, and all coordinator jobs. How do you protect that these are nothing more than ‘Check the box’ interviews, like what led to the ugly Brian Flores-Discrimination Lawsuit that is going to trial?
FRANCHISE SALES…With the Seattle Seahawks going on the block, after the Washington Commanders record (6B) price tag, are owners willing to mandate that teams up for sale, must consider selling to minority groups?
REPLAY BOOTH…You have the technology, should the mandate be ‘get every call right’ and therefore you adopt the ‘Throw the Flag’ booth review? You know, if the booth replay shows a face mask, and helmet hit, and late roughing call, and egregious hits away from the play, you can call down and tell the ref ‘throw the flag-you missed a key call’. It should be about getting all the plays right-right?
Questions worth asking the Commissioner.
