Casino Sportsbook Favoring Goodell as NFL Commissioner
Casino Sportsbook, an online sports gambling site, has laid the odds in favor of Roger Goodell being named the NFL Commissioner. Sportsbook has set odds on many other interesting options. Following the announced retirement of Paul Tagliabue as the commissioner of the National Football League, an online casino site, Sportsbook, decided to test the waters of potential replacements. Tagliabue has been commissioner of the NFL for over 16 years and has a very impressive record. Sportsbook has chosen two main competitors who they think have the highest odds of replacing the outgoing commissioner and have also added some interesting alternatives. Sportsbook has chosen NFL COO Roger Goodell and Atlanta Falcons GM Rich McKay as the top contenders.
The casino bettors have been presented with 15 options by the Sportsbook site. Tagliabue will stay on as a senior executive and consultant. The theory that Tagliabue will be replaced by Goodell is based on the fact that he is younger and has been working with the outgoing commissioner for many years. The sportsbook site says that he currently holds the position of COO which means he knows the business. The NFL is a complicated organization and Sportsbook thinks that it would be the wisest move to take someone from the inside.
Casino Sportsbook has also presented the bettors with some interesting alternative wagers. For those who really want to take a gamble, they can always place a bet on Condoleeza Rice or Bill Clinton. They have been rated by Sportsbook at 500-1 as replacing Tagliobue. Life is a gamble so if you are looking for a serious one, then these are the contenders to back.
