NFL HAS A HEADACHE ONLY GOODELL CAN CURE It's fun to dissect and dispute just about everything in the NFL, from Bill Belichick's bravado to Bud Adams'... spastic fingers. One of the subjects it's not so fun to argue about is concussions. After all, it seems everyone is on the same side, even Reticent Roger (Goodell) -- is anyone making a case for more concussions in the NFL? Problem is, this season...
The NFL Players Association opposes commissioner Roger Goodell's call for players to tell their teams' medical staffs if they think a teammate shows symptoms of a concussion, saying that is not an adequate solution.
By Dave Zirin When Rush Limbaugh was unceremoniously dumped in his efforts to secure a minority share of the St. Louis Rams, he may have been little more than collateral damage in a brewing collision between NFL owners and the NFL Players Association. After the union raised objections, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell squashed Limbaugh like a waterbug. Given the potential conflict brewing between NFL...

All this, and not one mention of the Clippers' Donald Sterling ... amazing. By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press Roger Goodell was hanging with the common folks last Sunday, enjoying the experience of an NFL game from end zone seats...
Roger Goodell was hanging with the common folks last Sunday, enjoying the experience of an NFL game from end zone seats in Tennessee. It was, he would say later, a perfectly fine day to watch football.

Washington Redskins kick returner Rock Cartwright remembers his brain "shaking like a bell" when he was walloped in a game against the New York Giants a few years ago. "You know how a bell vibrates? That's how my brain was going at that time," he said. "I think five minutes later, I came back to myself. I went back out there and played football." What Cartwright never...
In case you missed it, the Tennessee Titans owner was filmed giving Buffalo Bills fans the ol' bird from his perch on Sunday. If you aren't a Bills player, fan or employee--or Roger Goodell--you probably laughed your ass off. Goodell dropped a $250,000 fine on Bud Adams today...which leads me to my headline...because if Snyder does not fire Cerrato, he will be essentially flipping the entire Redskins...
The NFL flags and fines players for excessive celebration on the field. Commissioner Roger Goodell just sent a very clear message that the league's owners aren't above those same rules.
Today's Calls: John Wall vs. the Buzzer, UCLA vs. Oblivion, Brady Quinn vs. Ray Lewis, Brandon Jennings vs. Dirk Nowitzki, Stephen Jackson vs. Rashard Lewis, AI vs. Anywhere, Bud Adams vs. Roger Goodell, Pete Carroll vs. Rich Rodriguez, Andrew Bailey vs. Chris Coghlan and More. The Opening Pitch: Why did Bill Belichick's decision to go for it trigger such an allergic reaction? Because it was in the...
(Associated Press) The NFL has fined Titans owner Bud Adams $250,000 for making an obscene gesture at Buffalo fans while celebrating Tennessee's victory over the Bills. Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Adams of the fine Monday. Adams was seen making the gesture while in his luxury suite and again on the field after Sunday's 41-17 victory. Adams, 86, issued an apology a couple of hours later, saying...
(By Charles Chandler, cchandler@charlotteobserver.com) Nearly 10 months after receiving a heart transplant, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson is actively involved in the NFL's negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement, league Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday. "He's played a very valuable role for us and continues to talk to all 32 teams on a regular basis," Goodell...
This is quite possibly the funniest viral video clip I've seen in ages. Thanks for all the comedy, Bud Adams. You're the most entertaining 800-year-old AFL founder ever. The best part of this whole thing? Bud Adams spent most of the game sitting next to Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner. Think maybe Bud was sending him a message in the fourth-quarter after Roger had left the luxury box? Or maybe...
