![]() ![]() I consider him to be one of the most outstanding managers in the country. I feel that as Commissioner he runs the business as if he were an owner-operator. “He provided great leadership and vision in helping navigate through a major labor negotiation and extending our TV contracts, which in fact have created a decade of stability that is unheard of in today’s sports and entertainment environment. “I have had the privilege of working with Roger Goodell closely over the past eight years,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said. “His significant accomplishments continue to strengthen our game, our business and our leading position in the sports industry.” “Commissioner Goodell’s compensation reflects the value of his leadership and the success of the NFL at the highest levels,” Falcons owner Arthur Blank said. Which means he actually made roughly $4 million less from one year to the next.Īpart from the explanation, which once the numbers get above $10 million don’t really matter to 99.99999 percent of us, the league has defended Goodell’s high wages via a stream of quotes from owners serving on the Compensation Commitee It should have been nearly $39 million that year, with only $35.1 million earned the following 12 months. In other words, Goodell’s compensation of nearly $30 million in the fiscal year ending Mawas $9.1 million too light. The compensation also includes a $5 million incentive payment and a $4.1 million pension payment from the year of the work stoppage, which was paid in 2012. In actuality, he earned $35.1 million in salary, bonus, and pension compensation for the one-year period (ending March 31, 2013) covered by the Form 1099, filed by all tax-exempt organizations. But he didn’t actually make $44.2 million. But precisely because of that, he won't.Commissioner Roger Goodell made $44.2 million last year. Were absolutely everything to go right for Kane, perhaps he could make the NFL as a kicker in a few years time, were he to sacrifice the time he has left in his far more prestigious soccer career. His is not the type of career you walk away from for a flight of fancy, nor one which you end prematurely for a second career. Neither of those two had the Premier League all-time goal scoring record in their sights, every big team in Europe clamouring for their signature should they ever wish to leave, nor the burden of their national team's captaincy to deal with. However, neither of those two were chasing glory. After his lengthy soccer career came to an end, another former Tottenham striker, Clive Allen, briefly worked as a placekicker for the London Monarchs of the NFL Europe, and former Pro Bowl kicker Toni Fritsch started out as a soccer player, with a successful career that included scoring two goals against England at the very same Wembley Stadium site that Tottenham have just stolen the NFL away from. Kane's path to the NFL is not entirely without precedent, albeit to a limited degree. Hall-of-Fame kicker Morten Andersen disagrees. There is after all an absurd amount of money and prestige to come from succeeding in one of the world of sport's most specialist roles, and, for someone who has already demonstrated plenty of co-ordination and leg strength in his soccer career, there seems to be a foreseeable path to achieving it.
