Roger Goodell vows NFL will get its House in Order

WISCONSINREPORT.COM (09/19/2014) [Sports] – NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday there have been too many recent examples of the NFL “doing wrong” and “that starts with me,” and followed it up with a goal of implementing new personal conduct policies by the Super Bowl.

Goodell was short on specifics for a new policy. More defiant than contrite as he was hammered with questions, Goodell said he has not considered resigning amid increasing criticism that the league hasn’t acted quickly or emphatically enough concerning domestic abuse cases.

The commissioner reiterated that he botched the handling of the Ray Rice case.

“The same mistakes can never be repeated,” he said.

Goodell said he would meet with NFL Players Association chief DeMaurice Smith next week, and they would work with outside experts to evaluate the league’s policies.

Among the areas that will be examined is Goodell’s role in discipline. The commissioner now oversees all personal conduct cases, deciding guilt and penalties.
