Re: OT: Yahoo Sport's Charles Robinson says Jets' tampering would be worse than Spyga
Been there for 3 years.
I'm not really following your "fans cheering for value" statement. This has nothing to do with the fans. This is from a business standpoint. Goodell cares about these things, after all, it's a business FIRST.
I don't take ownership in something that has nothing to do with me. I'm a fan of the Jets. I don't contribute to wins and losses. When they do or don't win a Super Bowl isn't a personal failure or success. I don't rest my head on their accomplishments. If that's your cup of tea, so be it. But please, don't assume I need to live my life thru other people's accomplishments.
I honestly didn't know that about the Jets.... I missed this year's rankings so congratulations and welcome to the club..!!

Of course, I don't think that will help if these allegations are demonstrated to be true.
Well, your post made it quite clear that you believe Goodell would give the Jets special treatment because he "wants them to succeed" and because they are near the top in terms of value.
Considering the Commissioner's job is to lead the league without favoritism or bias, then giving prefential treatment to certain teams based on net value is pretty much the definition of "corrupt".
I think in this case he will act as judge and jury. The 49ers will get a chance to make their case, his job will be to sit back and listen to the evidence.
First of all, I disagree because the Giants, who actually have won a Super Bowl recently, are not significantly higher.
Second of all, I don't really give a crap what team has what net value. I've never seen a stadium full of people explode with cheers when the scoreboard posted that team's net value. You think Redskins fans are saying "hey, we suck, but we kick ass in net value..!!"

Third of all, I especially don't care what a team's theoretical net value would be if they had actually won a Super Bowl sometime since the LBJ administration.
But hey, whatever keeps you warm at night...
