I'm not sure what the big deal is here. he's the commissioner of the biggest, most profitable and popular sport in the us. as long as it doesn't go against the bears salary cap, who cares.

Meh.
He's the commissioner. He got picked and paid by the owners/profits.
David Stern of the NBA got 23 mil in 2012/13, so 44 for a more popular American sport isn't that far-fetched.

I think it is amazing that he gets paid that much for doing his job in a manner that I think most of us disapprove of. They really pay him 44 million to be an asshole? Remarkable.

He doesn't work for us he works for the owners and the owners love him.

First and foremost he is being compensated for being out in front on the ass-raping cba the owners imposed on the players. After that, he is being rewarded for whitewashing a violent nasty sport well enough to make it the king of family entertainment and a giant money train for the owners.

I find this response funny.
He's ruining football by fining players for off field stuff, not the fact that players are breaking the law.
He's ruining football by changing the rules on head contact, not the fact that former players have serious long term affects from playing the game.
He's ruining football by renegotiating what was an unsustainable CBA without missing a single regular season game.
The most beautiful part of what he's done is that he's taken all the criticism head on and never deflected anything.
The owners were more than happy to pay him over $44M because he's directly made them way more in a sustainable way with making them come off as the good guys.

The owners are benefiting from all of his moves, but getting none of the heat. IMO he's the best commissioner in pro sports.

All these asswipe CEO's make way too much money. He no doubt spent many a day sucking the owners nuts and kissing their asses.

He didn't make it anything. It was the most popular sport before Goodell and would still be without him.

True, the NFL was the most popular sport when he took the helm. But what he earned is a small fraction compared to the growth of the NFL and its revenue under his watch. The CBS package earned him that alone. If that is what the market will bear, good for him. As the majority of that $44MM is a bonus, clearly the benchmark must be profitability.
