The popularity of the game has nothing to do with it?
The fact the Bengals being a regular in the Playoffs has nothing to do with it?
Popularity of the players like AJ Green, Dalton, Atkins etc has nothing to do with it?
Inflation?
I would think a Commish that handled suspensions better and was not totally biased would do even better, don't you?
I put it on the overall popularity of the game, for which Goodell receives much of the praise. Listen, I personally think he is overly authoritarian, but from a business perspective it is hard to argue with his results. The entire league has improved that much, not just the Bengals (we are still near the bottom in overall worth). If I am a business man, which the owners are at the end of the day, then I love Roger Goodell. If I am a player, then I cannot stand Roger Goodell. Unfortunately, it is the owners who sign his contract.
