Next - Placing a team in LA. Still entertaining the idea. Want to be successful if / when they have a team there.

Stadium concerns mentioned.

Next - Buffalo staging a game in Toronto, and concerns of the CFL for the NFL to encroach across the border.

Proposal on the table (accepted?) to have the Bills play once every 5 years in Canada.

Odd that he didn't mention that the NFL owns part of the CFL (I believe this is still the case).

Next question - Parity vs. dominant teams - is a perfect team good for the league?

and then - asking about the CBA issues and rumor of a labor dispute.

followed by HGH question and developing testing.

 
More questions, of course:

? - Jerry Jones says that the Cowboys don't want/need to go overseas. Is theer a limit?

A - Many wanted to go in '08, joked about NYG going to SB and a coincidence.

A - Also mentioned that a team is limited to going once every X years overseas (but didnt' say what X was)

? - Tanking - Collusion (Indy/Ten)

A - Proud of NYG/NE. Most teams didn't play any meaningless games.

? - Comcast / NFL-N / SpyGate / Specter

Comcast putting NFL-N on basic. Arlen Specter heavily contributed to by Comcast. Is that why he's interested in SpyGate so much?

A - Danced off of that question w/ Specter.

? - Medical follow-up on testing on retired players / concussions / ailments

A - Typical answer - interested and researching.

 
? - Retired players, diability, qualifying for the benefits

A - Trying to cut red tape to help former players.

? - Patriots video situation (again) ESPN Michael Smith. How far back did the tapes go?

A - Six tapes. 07 preseason and 06 reg season. Also scouting notes collected that may have been collected illegally (didn't say how old).

 
? - Media day. It's a circus. Any thoughts of change?

A - Many are interested in NFL. With so many, it is bound to be chaotic.

? - Appreciation of NFL history. Rookie symposum for them to learn the history?

A - Michalel Irvin's idea - great idea. Could implement around HOF in Canton.

? - Personal conduct policy. Also are players targets?

A - Goodell says the players know the policy and the high standards. Won't solve all league problems with policy. 20% decrease in incidents and dramatic number w/ rookies. Support of NFLPA and players a big help in making more effective.

Sean Taylor / 3 others lost their lives. Tragic. More can be done to protect the players that are celebrities and NFL can increase / improve security and assist the players.

 
ANOTHER SpyGate question......

? - Why did you destroy the tapes, why is Congress interested, and did the notes go back before 06?

A - Destroying tapes was best way Pats follow instructions and that it didn't appear again (and that all tapes were confiscated / turned over and it won't happen again). Congress - Specter must answer. Notes didn't help Pats win the games and didn't pre-date 06. Also said that any coach not thinking their signals may be stolen is crazy (may be attributed to another coach's comments).

? - G3 financing stadium plan (SF in particular)

A - Not in effect. $ maxxed already. G4 in planning.
