at the end of the day, Roger's argument that "I'm the commissioner and I can do what I want when I want for whatever reason I want" did not and will not stand.
he's lost every time an independent arbitrator hears the case, and this time he fought to prevent an independent arbitrator from hearing the case but it still could not save his idiocy
he has all the power of the commissionership, and he still fucked it up. that's bad, that's really really really bad
and let me say Roger has NOTHING to do with the NFL's increase in popularity, lest you're silly enough to believe he invented stuff like fantasy football and gambling (which he opposes) and the NFL package and red zone. He's just the man sitting in that office when shit happens
Giving Roger credit for increased exposure is like giving the POTUS credit for the industrial revolution, especially since Roger is officially the laughing stock of professional sports.
