Between the handling of this, how they are handling the NFL channel (which looks like a losing battle), their dependance on old media channels
and their upcoming labour discussions I'm a little concerned about the NFL's future. Not that they will die but they may give back their standing as best league to MLB.

I don't know if this scandal will hurt the League so much. Fans are not going to turn away because of it, at least I don't think they will. I'm sure the hate for the Patriots will intensify with some fans. There will also always be some suspicion from a lot of fans about wether the Patriots would have won three Super Bowls without the aid of illegally video taping the opponents defensive signals.
The thing that is shattered for me is my enjoyment of Sirius NFL Radio. Some of the content will still be entertaining, but I will always look at it as NFL controlled propaganda. The praise being showered on Roger Goddell, especially by Adam Schien, is just disgusting.
