New contract for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell; MLB salary arbitrations; NBA claims $400 million losses demand big CBA changes
February 15, 2010
A new 5-year contract for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
There is no change in annual compensation, and the Commissioner took a voluntary pay cut last year. The NFL has been cutting jobs, resulting in a 15% reduction last year. With bonuses and incentives, Goodell did report making nearly $10 million for the tax year ending 3/31/09.
The League has made statements to the effect that they looked for continuity in leadership as labor negotiations loom that may result in a 2011 work stoppage.

Salary arbitration time
Chalk one up for Rays management as BJ Upton goes down. The team submitted a number of $3 million while Upton was looking for $3.3 million, so there wasn't a whole lot of difference between the the two proposals. After two hearings owners are tied with players 1-1. Corey Hart of the Brewers recently bested team management in his hearing.

Commissioner David Stern is showing losses of $400 million to the NBA Players Association to demonstrate why the CBA needs dramatic changes.

Cuts the league looks for include a sweeping range: reductions in the minimum salary; lowering maximum salary; sharp reductions in total years players can sign for; a diminishment of the players' share of basketball-related income.
