Goodell doesn't have authority to overturn a game result

JDLefebvre · Posted: Wed Sep 26, 2012 8:46 am Post subject:

You're news threads are getting too loose on "News".

This seems more like an expected fact than news to me. I am not one bit surprised he can't and he shouldn't be able to. Imagine the uproar if he started changing the results of games for whatever reason.

This is nothing about teams, or players or future games. That is what the NFL News should consist of and not more reasons for people to complain about what has happened.

My 2 cents

I don't believe it. If he really wanted to, he would. My mom always said you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Goodell obviously has no interest in the integrity of the game, else this would already be done. He's just doing this to make himself a lot more money...somehow.

...and he shouldn't have it. It sets a bad precedent.

I agree that this was a judgement call and the Commissioner should never substitute a referee's judgement with his own.

A more interesting scenario would have emerged in the Vikings-49ers game, if the 49ers had come back to win. In this case the officials clearly did not follow the rules in awarding SF an extra timeout and two successful challenges after they had used their final timeout.

My theory on that game was that the ref who called a touchdown was unsure of what to call and just said touchdown because he thought that a review could clarify the call. Because if im not mistaken those calls can only be reversed if there is question as to whether both feet were in or if it is a drop.

This is clearly a lie, obviously Goodell is all powerful and can do what he wants.

He doesn't answer to the owners or have to govern within limits.

It's also his fault that the ref contract isn't done.

Fire him now.

Just to get that out of the way
