[Four]

he isn't saying a whole lot.

says jerry is involved top to bottom in the meetings, Said he was going to meet with roethlisraper to talk to him about these situations he keeps putting himself in.

he talked up the new overtime rule for playoffs.

He is a pretty good politician, he dances around questions and gives general positive answers about everytying. I doubt there is any real info here.

I dont really like this guy. I wish bill parcells was the commish.

goodell; i think the future is having multi facets with 3 to 4 things going on at once at stadiums etc, like kids now days they do 3 to 4 things iwth media stuff etc...

something about coin flip on something, and goodell was unhappy about that; so was his decision to make, even though woody didnt like it, some owner i think

ahhhh with vikings dts not gettting suspended by goodell, we just finished the trial, nad have to wait on judges main decision, so you cant have that if its just in individual states call, we will continue to pursue this and get a reasonable conclusioin

cba agreement, best think i can say to you, were in an early stage, just first quarter, so hopefullyu we can work something out later

offseason trainging programs, we will continue to work on it, with the players and tony dungy team, and some changes need to be changed with safety issues

draft, we have a great deep draft and every fan has a right to look forwards to a great season

changing games during the year or adding some; improve quality of what were doing and deliver value to our fans, and have highest quality product, we think we cna get better with including looking at every season, like the probowl, way we changed that or like redzone or nfl network and we will continue to inavate

on draft having 3 days now, we have seen tremendous growth in draft with fans, and allow more people to experience the draft and allow more people to attend

Goodell touts proposed overtime change

Posted by Mike Florio on March 22, 2010 1:36 PM ET
Commissioner Roger Goodell, in a press conference held in conjunction with the annual league meetings in Orlando, spoke out in support of the tweak in the overtime rules proposed by the Competition Committee.

The proposal would prevent the team that receives the kickoff in overtime during a playoff game from winning with only a field goal on the first drive.

He said it has the "potential to be a better system" than the long-time procedure used to resolve ties in postseason games, which permits sudden victory based on a first-drive field goal. Goodell also said that he "loves the idea" of the sudden-death component to the proposed system, which can be resolved on any given play via a touchdown by the team that receives the kickoff or a turnover returned for a touchdown by the team that kicked off.

So will it pass? At his pre-Super Bowl press conference, Goodell said regarding a new overtime system, "Don't hold your breath." With a proposal on the agenda for this week's meetings, he said, "I'm not holding my breath yet."

And for good reason. Even though the Competition Committee has endorsed the move, there's a sense that the measure will not muster the required 24 votes.

Goodell addresses latest Roethlisberger case

Posted by Mike Florio on March 22, 2010 1:57 PM ET

In his first public comments regarding the sexual assault allegations made against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said that he'll be meeting with Roethlisberger "at the appropriate time."

Goodell prefaced this remark with an ominous comment regarding the overall situation: "The most important thing is we take the issue seriously. We are concerned that Ben continues to put himself in this position."

In other words, regardless of whether Roethlisberger is charged, the fact that he now has been twice accused of sexual assault has gotten the league's attention.

It makes sense. Goodell addressed the problem of repeat allegations in January 2009, prior to Super Bowl XLIII. "You can have false accusations once, maybe twice," Goodell said in reference to former Giants receiver Plaxico Burress. "When you start getting to multiple [arrests], you're putting yourself in the wrong position, you're making the wrong decisions in the wrong places. At that point in time, you're reflecting poorly on the NFL itself, your teammates."

So, basically, Roethlisberger is running out of chances. And one more accusation -- true or false -- could be enough to dramatically impact his career in a negative way.
