You are a marketing genius. Don't let those talents go untapped. The NFL needs you.

Condi Rice needs to be commissioner.

She loves the game.

Hell, she's a ****ing Browns fan. You have to be a cool person to claim that franchise.

Roger just loves himself.

His ego is out of control.

I really like it when they bring the former players out to make the picks, so let's do the math.

Option 1. Former Player Announcements. They already have one former NFL player at each draft announcing the second round. If you added one more for each of the other six rounds, that would be 192 players. Assume $1,500 for business class airfare, $1,500 for hotel, $1,000 for food, $500 for incidentals, and a $1,000 honorarium, and you end up with a total cost of $1,056,000.

Option 2. Have Goodell do it. At a $50 million salary, the league's cost for him to attend the three-day draft is $600,000. Add in the private jet time and benefits and it's probably $650,000.

So we need to save about $400,000 to use players instead of Roger. That means we can afford 110 players. Would anyone mind if each player announced two rounds? You could also have fans announce a round or two.

She is incredibly qualified, and a sports fan to boot. First woman to be granted membership to Augusta National iirc. Fear of civil rights ligation.

She checks a lot of PR boxes, but the fact that she is a conservative might put a target on her back for the media.

I worry, though, that I forgot to include NFL cheerleaders. Maybe they should replace the random people in the 7th round to give fans something to anticipate.

Yes. I'm pretty sure sex still sells. Still missing something.... emails? Russians? Maybe some Russian cheerleaders?

3) Mexico games are okay.
4) Start a week earlier and include an additional bye week into the schedule.
5) More practice time for the above concession to the Players union.
6) Start pink slipping refs and the people in charge of reffing. They are either incompetent or committing fraud. Must restore confidence in the brand.
7) Find a way to end the Patriots dynasty. It has become toxic to the league.
