Thus spake Goodell and his vengeance was swift and terrible. You do realize Stallworth's NFL punishment will likely be worse than the one he received from the State Of Florida? [Miami Herald]

Understanding The NFL Fine System (Hint: You Can't)
Last week, New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck was fined $7,500 for a hit that pretty much everyone on the planet—except for the referee who a threw a flag at him—agreed was a textbook tackle. The commissioner's office felt this was a perfectly reasonable response as part of its effort to protect the safety of the players and the integrity of the game. It wasn't a until few days later, however, that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell thought to himself, "Hmm. Maybe I should take a look at this thing" and actually watched the footage of the hit. Only then was the fine rescinded and all was right with the world—except for the fact no one in the NFL has any idea what's going on or how to act. More »

NFL's "Concerned" About Players Flashing Gang Signs
Gangsta players beware: The NFL isn't going to tolerate your confusing finger gestures anymore. The league has stated they'll be cracking down on any "suspicious" hand gestures flashed by players during the game in an effort to eliminate the promotion of gang culture in the league. More »

Pat Tillman's Mom Is Not Happy With The NFL
Like some of you I suspect, I hadn't read Dave Zirin's great Mary Tillman interview over at his blog, Edge of Sports, when it came out last week. But now he's adapted it as an opinion piece for the Los Angeles Times, and I highly recommend taking the time to give them both a look. In it, Mary Tillman accuses the NFL of exploiting her son, Pat Tillman, as much as the military did. And considering that the military initially tried to cover up Tillman's death by friendly fire in Afghanistan, that's a pretty strong statement. More »

Suddenly, People Have Noticed No One's Watching The NFL Network
More than a year since the channel was born, The NFL Network is still struggling. We're not sure why; maybe it's because the citizens of the largest city in the country can't get it on their local cable providers. That might have something to do with it. And now owners are beginning to wonder whether it's worth it. More »

Roger Goodell Doesn't Want You To Have Any Influence
One of the great things about going to an NFL game in person is that, perhaps more than any other sport, you really can affect the game. Not just through intimidation, but in a literal sense; if the other team can't hear the signals because you and 80,000 other maniacs are screaming your heads off, they must make adjustments, immediately. It's the definition of home field advantage. And now NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wants to take that away. More »

Cuz That Body's Too Bootylicious For Ya, Eh, Rog?

Will We Ever See Vick Play Again?
Allow us to make a small prediction: After NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's decision to ban Michael Vick from training camp yesterday, effectively putting him in an odd purgatory of not being suspended but not being allowed to play either, we will never see Michael Vick play a game for the Atlanta Falcons again. And you might not seem him play again, at all. More »

Roger Goodell Is Judge, Jury And Executioner
Sure, we all laughed when Pac Man Jones was suspended by the NFL for a year, because it's Pac Man Jones, and everything Pac Man Jones does is funny. But CBS Sportsline's Clay Travis points out that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was positively Orwellian in his sentence. After all, Pac Man is essentially being disciplined solely for how he lives his life. More »
