Fair point. Very true. Unfortunately for the NFL, they're locked in to that model until contracts expire. But, we've well reached the point where lower network viewership / revenue, does not necessarily mean lower overall viewership of the product (the NFL).
My guess is that the NFL is already working on a completely new model the moment the network contracts end that will take advantage of all the new viewing options. That's why, in my opinion, it would be a mistake to get rid of Goodell. That's the one thing he's really good at.
