Hmmm. Doesn't sound like the salary of a lackey with no real power.

Just because your are a success doesn't mean you should be admired, I imagine there we're many people he stepped on to get this job, and honestly he probably has the least amount of impact on the game itself. Rodgers Goodell Has nothing to do with who watches or doesn't watch.

He makes more than any NFL player without stepping foot on the field, the average NFL player puts their body at risk for an average 3-4 year career, and then some are left with injuries and mental problems which will never go away. An environment of competition built on scarcity(53 man roster) breeds a dangerous work environment, this applies to a lot more then football by the way. For example when CEO's and companies make record profits and yet do not hire, because they have built an environment that only the strongest will get raises and someone will come in and replace you.

I've seen that football is the most viewed sport, so he's doing his job. Wrong. The NFL was the most viewed sport long before Goodell got his hands on it. What has helped is more the weakness of other leagues not the strength of Goodell's leadership. Baseball Is constantly coming out with a weekly list of people who have cheated the sport, and most have become numb to the speculation and have simply assumed everyone cheats. The NBA has always lagged behind, most even prefer watching college basketball because they actually play defense. Hockey? Sure if you like lockouts every couple of years? Golf? No winning Tiger means no ratings. Soccer? Has never been able to draw a crowd mostly because its viewed as a sport for non-americans.

Goodell Should probably get around 3-4 Million per year, as that would be enough. Maybe the extra 25 Million per year can go into protecting the players health and benefits post NFL. Instead of the Union having to front their own money for it.
