Roger Goodell succeeded Paul Taglibaeu as NFL commisonshier in 2006 and he had the expectation that he would take the NFL to the next level. In many ways he has done so, the NFL has grown expotentially since 2006 whether it was getting larger TV deals, more international fans, or just an overall rise in popularity Roger Goodell had done the NFL good prior to January 18, 2015.

Since then Roger Goodell has done nothing short of ruin his reputation as commissioner, even after the “evidence” that was given to him warranted a small fine for the New England quarterback, Goodell decided to throw the book at him. What ensued was months of scientific speculation, false allegations, and court proceedings that overshadowed the beginning of the NFL season.

Ken Kratz was the District Attorney and prosecutor during the Steven Avery trial. Ken Kratz not only made it his job, he made it his life to make sure that Manitowoc county did not let Steven Avery from walking free.

That meant Kratz took every bit of questionable evidence gathered during the investigation and construct a timeline of events that would convince a jury that Avery indeed committed the murder. With the help of several officers and city officials, he was able to win his argument however a win didn’t give Kratz the glamour that came with the case.

In 2009, he resigned from his position as District Attorney after allegations of him sending sexting a victim of domestic violence.
