Since 1960, the National Football League has had just three commissioners -- Pete Rozelle (1960-1989), Paul Tagliabue (1989-2006) and Roger Goodell (2006-present). Both of Goodell's predecessors left on their own terms. That's closing in on 60 years. In that period of time, if you take away the past 12 months, the NFL has experienced unrivaled and unfettered growth.
...
If you Google Roger Goodell's contract extension, the three stories that come up are Sports Illustrated stories about one month apart -- Aug. 21, 2017, with a headline that reads, "Roger Goodell: NFL Commish Set for Contract Extension," the next headline dated Sept. 20, 2017, "Roger Goodell Contract Reportedly 'Getting Done,'" and the third dated Oct. 22, 2017, "Roger Goodell: Contract for NFL Commish Delayed."
So if we Google this same topic of Goodell’s contract a couple of months from now, what will we find?
