It wasn't about Goodell being omnipotent or on some random power trip. Whomever the author is lost all credibility by saying that.

You know I wrote that and I am very pissed because it is apparent what happened. We can all agree this whole thing could have been handled in a much better manner. Goodell made a mess of the whole thing. He created the monster that became known as The Bounty Scandal. Yes, it was in part to use as fodder against the concussion lawsuits, but the punishments were all driven by his delicate ego. I am not alone in this thinking either. The same view has appeared in several articles recently, most of which are posted in this thread.
