Good for him! That man did a ton for our franchise, happy to see him come back to the NFL in an important position.

Great hire for the NFL. Todd's strength is in listening to fans and managing the brand. He's a guy who does a great and creative job of marketing and fan experience.

Anything that takes something away from Goodell will make the masses happy. I think Leiweke is on the fast track to becoming the next NFL Commissioner. The NFL owners are definitely going to need a new commissioner before the next labor deal because the players are really upset with the current deal and with Goodell, there will definitely be a work stoppage.

Tod is a great representative, having him be a former Seahawks is a boon for us in the Egypt of the country as well, Marketing is what he is good at and showing the Fans that they are important. Goodell has about as much Charisma as a Pitbull with a toothache. I think this is about trying to fix the broken image of the NFL League office.

The Seahawks have such a loyal fan base and little bad publicity the NFL may be wanting to tap into what has been working here, Tod was able to expand on that after the Ruskell situation.
