If he feels the need to make this announcement, I take this as a sign that there will be a lockout.

He can blame it all on the players now. "Look I am taking a paycut, why can't the players be more reseasonable...." That type of thing.

I agree it's not really a positive sign IMO.

Big figgin' whoop. Why doesn't Goodell just wear $500,000.00 gold medalions, and have a stack of money on the podium when he speaks ?
OOoooo. You are going to change your salary to $1. WOW. What a guy!
What does that mean when you are already a multi millionaire, probably a billionaire by this time.
Not to mention the tax breaks he will get off on from it.
Not really a sacrifice or statement in my book. Actually I find it kinda lame, and arrogant.
I could care less about Goodell's salary. How about he does his flippin' job and get a deal done ?

So, a major paycut shouldn't hurt him all that much.
Less talk, more action regarding solving the situation, please and thank freaking you.
If there is no football next year, I seriously am gonna have a problem. |
