The fact that people are things about Goodell just shows how great he is at his job. He's the puppet of the owners, and how he's become the evil one and not them is just amazing to me.

While you're absolutely correct, Goodell is their fall guy, it's ultimately up to him to choose to go forward with things.  Unless, of course, money and his position means more to him than actually following the law (which, appears to be the case).  He's every bit as responsible as the owners in any league discipline, because the owners, cannot file discipline, those powers are held under the auspices of the Commissioner's office (as noted in the CBA).
