Jared Allen: If I were commissioner I’d undo everything Goodell did

Drew Brees says NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has “little to no credibility” with players. Vikings defensive end Jared Allen seems to agree with that.

Asked by Jim Rome on Showtime what he’d do if he became NFL commissioner, Allen said his goal would be to do everything he could to reverse the changes to the game that Goodell has supported.

“I’d probably undo everything Roger Goodell’s done,” Allen said. “I’d get football back to its rawest, simplest form, and just take all these, you know, horse-collar tackles, and so-called illegal hits, out. Get football back to its rawest form.”

Goodell has always insisted that his efforts are all about making the game safer for the players. Allen is one of many, many players who have told Goodell they liked the game better before Goodell started trying to make them safer.

I can't stand Gooddell. I've never seen someone full of so many horrible ideas. He's so arrogant too like he's the NFL's saviour or something. He's the total opposite. There was nothing wrong with the NFL when he got here and now there is. He needs to stop caving into these former players who want nothing but handouts. If they didn't know what they were getting into when they played then its a good thing they did play because sacking groceries is about the only thing they'd be able to do.

Bravo. Just gained a lot more respect for that redneck Viking.

Are there any owners that despise Goddell the prick as much as the players do? I'd like to to see the players unite and go on strike just to get rid of this douchebag.
