Several seasons ago the Seahawks and the Packers were playing a game, and I believe there were replacement or junior refs at that game. Either way, there was an extremely challenging call regarding a catch in the end zone. A lot of uproar about the play ensued, perhaps many of you recall that.
Roger Goodell’s response to that situation was terrible. He attempted to justify the call. He could have said “Yeah, that was a tough call that could have gone many ways. At the end of the day, we have to go with what was called on the field, learn from it and move on. Instead, his response was insulting to my intelligence and impugning to his integrity (at least for me).
That was the start of the decline for me. Then the whole kneeling thing happened and I believe Roger at the helm handled it extremely poorly (again), and to top that the NFL resigned his contract with ludicrous terms. When Roger is gone I will reassess where I stand with that product. Right now the NFL can kiss off as far as I am concerned. I have so much more time for important things on Sundays nowadays.
Your post reminded me of other things that have happened over the RG era, also reminded me of the saying: don't piss down my leg and tell me it's raining.
