Just one of the perks of working for multi-billionaire team owners who actually might not think that’s that much money.
It could be argued that Goodell’s leadership and success in making the NFL so big, and the massive money he has made those owners, makes him well worth that massive paycheck.
What was the biggest shock of the past week?

The biggest side bet following the same-day terminations? Which one shows up first on “Dancing with the Stars.”
I would have put my money on it being Lemon, but then I was told that Carlson already, years ago, danced on that stage. Who knew?
Here’s what I do know. Carlson has an enormous following and will be doing something important again soon.
Paul W. Smith is host of “The Paul W. Smith Show” on WJR-AM (760) from 6-9 a.m. Monday-Friday.
