Jim Trotter deserved better from the NFL
The longtime journalist tried to elevate NFL Media with critical thinking.

"I do believe it played a role in my contract not being renewed, and I will talk about that more later."
Trotter had previously mentioned that his contract was up. He tweeted Monday he's been informed it's not being renewed.
"It has been inexplicable to me, but then in the end, it’s really pretty explicable."
"It makes me question whether or not you're really that serious."
"I do not know specifically about the media business"
"Amazon was maybe the highest priority from a media standpoint for us — making sure that launched properly. Knowing that Freddie was in the seat…that part of the launch was not a concern of mine."
The NFL now has broadcasting deals with the #3, #4, #40, #45, #401, and #519 U.S. companies by market capitalization.
“If this is such a historic, incredible, once-in-a-lifetime event, then somebody explain to me, how the hell on December 22nd is the Thursday night game on Amazon Jacksonville at the Jets!"
"Why do you ban Dave Portnoy from NFL games? He’s a journalist. In fact, he’s a sports journalist."
Goodell has reportedly made over $375 million in the 15 years he has been commissioner.
Once again, the Mannings have lined up some notable guests.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell also spoke about Madden on Good Morning Football, saying " He helped really until the week he died, with myself, and our staff, and the competition committee, really looking at every aspect of the game. There really wasn't a guy who loved football more than John Madden."
Gruden deserved to go, but the NFL put itself in this position by locking down the WFT emails.
Amazingly, 90 percent of that two-year total was from bonuses, not salary.
The NFL's lack of a written report on the Washington Football Team investigation and lack of transparency on what else was in the 650,000 Bruce Allen emails has a lot of pressure building on them, especially after the publication of a full investigation report we saw in the NHL this week.
"This time one of our coaches is accused of racism, misogyny, and homophobia, but hey, at least nobody's talking about concussions."
"In the emails, Gruden called the league’s commissioner, Roger Goodell, a 'f***ot' and a 'clueless anti football p*ssy' and said that Goodell should not have pressured Jeff Fisher, then the coach of the Rams, to draft 'queers.'"
Goodell has been vaccinated and will "be allowed to give his famous hugs while greeting players."
Commissioners Roger Goodell, Adam Silver, Rob Manfred, Gary Bettman, Don Garber, and Cathy Engelbert will be among the guests joining Mike Greenberg on the two-hour SportsCenter special.
Portnoy bid $250,000 to watch Monday Night Football with Goodell, but the league rejected that bid, choosing instead to donate $250,000 to charity themselves.
Portnoy bid $250,000 for the opportunity. Can Goodell really turn him away?
"As you may know, we were expecting to host the draft in Dallas, excuse me, in Vegas, this year."
"(The NFL Management Council Executive) Committee was unanimous and unequivocal that the Draft should go forward as scheduled on April 23-25, 2020.”
