I must admit that I had never heard of Roger Goodall before he was promoted to Commissioner of the NFL.
It hasn’t taken him long to make a name for himself.
One of his first jobs was to stomp on troublemakers like Pacman Jones and Tank Johnson. Then, he had the Michael Vick mess thrown in his face. He dealt with that as well as you could expect. This was a no-win for the NFL and Goodall seems to have handled it with a minimum damage for the league.
Just last week Goodall visited Detroit Lions training camp to answer any questions and to make his stance on players who run afoul with the law clear to everyone.
He is not running from problems. He deals with the head-on.
I like his style.
