Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 867114">On the one hand, having the Commissioner, an employee of the owners, being the judge, jury and executioner when it comes to determining player "conduct unbecoming", applying leeway in drug suspensions within the confines of the CBA, and levying fines and suspensions for on-field behavior does strike me as a conflict of interest.On the other hand, it is a tough job and, most importantly, up to this point those powers were negotiated into Goodell's hands by the players.  Now they negotiated it away.  That's the way negotiations go.This is one of the many side issues negotiated in the players favor, along with pot pentalities going nearly extinct, in exchange for going along with the expanded playoffs and the soon-to-be regular season schedule.I see no basis on which to swap Goodell or anybody else for Manafort in jail.</blockquote>
