With the NFL naming Roger Goodell its next commissioner, Zennie Abraham writes, “In Roger, the league not only gets continuity, but a return to its sports marketing focus. I don't expect big immediate changes in how the league does what it does, but I do look for more innovation in its new media efforts, and more expansion -- into Europe and China, but not so much that the league over extends itself.”

SportzAssassin writes selecting Goodell was “not really a surprise, as Goodell has been Tags' right hand man for years and was the frontrunner the moment Tagliabue announced his retirement. As Tags' COO, he's had his hands in a lot of the league's affairs already and has a very small learning curve.”

Mark writes Goodell’s “ability to deliver stadium deals in city after city will stand him in good stead as there are several franchises with stadium problems that will have to be dealt with in the next couple of years.”
