Roger's a pretty astute guy. He's figured out that fans are pissed off.

The NFL is seeing the early signs of cracks in fan loyalty.Ten weeks into the owners' lockout of the players, commissioner Roger Goodell noted Wednesday the negative effect the labor dispute is having on pro football.
"Clearly it has had an impact on the fans," Goodell said as the owners completed their spring meetings. "We see it in various metrics. There's been a noticeable change, TV ratings were down on the draft roughly 4 million people. NFL.com traffic (is down), we see that."

No shit Sherlock. Fans are pissed at the NFL, owners and players. Get their shit together and get a CBA done. Then maybe do something for the fans like cut the cost of tickets and merchandise.

Unfortunately that will not happen as greed will rule all in the NFL.
