Wasn't that expected no matter who the commish was? Did anyone in 2006 expect the most popular sport in America with an extremely strong following expect the league to make less money 6 years later? Given the product you'd have to be pretty inept for that to happen. As NC Skins just stated...people keep coming back basically no matter what. I mean shit...given that clientele any company could increase profits.

You could argue that the league has not done anything so damaging, that would affect their profits and popularity. And what I have been trying to point out that a lot of the decisions made by RG are not made by JUST him. The Owners have a lot of saying on what happens in the league of course. I would say some of the ways that RG has executed/enforced these decisions by the owners are unpopular/wrong/etc.
I think the whole argument of the rising profits since Tagliabue is to counter the argument that Goodell is ruining the league. One could say that Goodell has done a good "caretaker" job, but still he has not/is not ruining the league so far as some argue. I think you make a good point about people coming back to football, I mean you saw that during the Replacement Ref situation.

The masses and the average fans I think enjoy the video game league. I guarantee that if we have had a defensive Super Bowl with a score of 10-7, people would be b*tching left and right about it.
