RGII told the coach's he was fine when clearly he wasn't ,who is to blame ,RGIII, Andrews, Shannahan ....or the NFL ?



Goodell , people blame him for everything.

Here you go again with your mind numbing butt kissery of Goodell. This isnt about Goodell. This is mostly about what happened under Tagliabue. The NFL has been around since before Goodell. You do realize that dont you? Relax Francis, the entire world isnt against the man who you love and adore and feel the need to protect at all costs.

PS... The NFL had commissioned studies on head injuries long ago. And the results have never been made public. Which is fine, but they should of still shared that info with the players and the NFLPA.

Pete Rozelle ever hear of him jr ?I'm not the one crying about a conspiracy(it was sarcasm) .Point is the NFL has never taken care of it's own like they should and I have always said that so yes I'm happy for the settlement but it's like a race car driver saying he never knew he could get hurt in a crash at 120 miles an hour ,you wanna say wtf ?


Why not have some blame for this guy ?
ESPN Classic - Rozelle made NFL what it is today

There is definitely some blame for Rozelle. But there wasnt as much medical info under him. But sure, I put some on him also. I put some on the owners as well. Its not even just the Commissioners office. For that Matter, I put some on Snyder. Its not just your hero that is getting blame here. Quit acting like it is. Goodell was the residing commissioner during the settlement, I actually give him some credit on this.

But stop saying everyone is blaming Goodell when someone says something that isnt flattering to the NFL, especially when a lot of the ones suing were retired before he ever became commissioner. Its just an old, tired, and lazy response from you.
