"We do want to see the Dolphins stay in Miami," Goodell said. "We want to see them stay in a facility that will allow them to compete, and to bring in other big events, including Super Bowls. And that takes work, it takes investment, and Steve Ross was doing the investing and was really the guy who was putting his heart and soul into this and his passion into this. And that's what's frustrating is that it didn't get a chance to get to the voters."
Goodell said the proposal that the Dolphins and local officials worked on was "very intelligent and very thoughtful."

Get 'em Goodell!

I find it pretty humorous that people think the rest of the NFL owners would approve Ross footing the bill for the stadium upgrades out of pocket. That is so far outside their business model it's ridiculous.
There will be a franchise and stadium in S. Florida. The only question is whether or not it's in Miami Gardens. -
its all good i guess i'm in a bad mood recently when i wake up...lol

I just learned this new word FinD was teaching everyone about in another thread, it's called "Fapping or to fap"... I'm not sure, apparently it's some sort of masturbation process relative the flacidity of the *****..everybody's doing it I guess.

Hmmm... this thread is not heading the direction I expected.
That said, it's easy for Goodell to pipe up here when the govt was the bad-guy. A good chance for him to back an owner without having to actually do anything. Now, if he really loves Ross and wants to support Miami so much, he can come out and say he's personally pushing to help Miami land the next Superbowl bid after San Fran's. -
It just means to masturbate, and it's origin is sound based. Don't let him trick you into sending him any videos so he can give you "pointers". Fool me once, and all of that.

I think the only way he does that is if a new stadium or the big upgrade is in the works. Otherwise, letting Miami land a SB in the current stadium would be self-defeating for both Ross & the Dolphins and for the league that wants a better venue. His calling for a better venue for the SB (and insisting on Miami not getting one with the current facility) is actually a means of supporting Ross & the Dolphins to help them get an upgrade. -
Good point. This supports Ross in his leverage vs the government.

This is a discussion I never thought I'd be having on this site. Pinch the side of your cheek, then rapidly pull your cheek out and back from the side of your face while keeping it pinched. (not to far, don't hurt yourself) If that doesn't clear up fapping, go ahead and send fin d the videos because I'm out.

Considering the timeline of events, this sounds like admission of a panic move. If he actually cared, Goodell should have been visiting much earlier in the process.
