Goodell's wisdom

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell expressed misgivings about Rush Limbaugh joining the bid to buy the St. Louis Rams, and now Rush is out.
What are some other stellar moves by Goodell in his past?
During the 1993 expansion bidding, he was among the top advisors to then commissioner Paul Tagliabue. As the 30th team, the NFL selected Jacksonville over St. Louis, Baltimore and Memphis.
How's it working out? Jacksonsville's game Sunday with the St. Louis Rams is going to be blacked out, and most of the home games this year will not be sellouts and thus not available on local TV.
Baltimore didn't build a museum, but instead picked up "Art" Modell. They have sold out pretty much every game since 1996, and quickly sold out when fans could buy single game tickets this year.
Maybe like dissing Baltimore, one day Goodell will regret dissing Rush Limbaugh.
