The only thing that is Goodell's own agenda is the whole issue with player discipline. But as Andrew Brandt says, for every situation where an owner is unhappy with Goodell about player discipline such as Kraft (Spygate/Brady), Benson (Bountygate), or Jerry Jones (Elliott), there are a group of owners who are supporting him.

If I'm Goodell, I'm asking for all these things, because he has to do the dirty work so the owners don't have to put up with John Q. Public.

I agree with you, because he must be. What exactly is he doing that the owners like so much I guess is my question? Just a human bullet proof vest I guess.
