“ We're in a leadership position in sports. People look up to the National Football League. ”
The way you continue to be a successful business is you don't wait for the car to go off the cliff. You have to manage yourself. And make sure you do it in the right way so you are not making decisions in crisis.
~ Roger Goodell
No one is above the game or the rules that govern it. Respect for the game and the people who participate in it will not be compromised.
I don't expect to try to get people to like everything I do. I want them to respect what I do.
To me, what I love about the draft is; first, you see the young men who are realizing their dreams that they've worked so hard for. That's a pretty cool thing. You saw the emotion from some of these guys the other day. And then, the second thing is this total sense of hope and optimism. And, I think that's great for everybody.
