NFL Notes: Roger Goodell, Greg Hardy, Jason Pierre-Paul, & Texans

Roger Goodell

During anย appearance onย Mike & Mike in the Morning, NFL commissioner Roger Goodellย said that heโ€™s โ€œopen to changing my role,โ€ calling the process โ€œextremely time-consuming,โ€ via Pro Football Talk.

However,ย Goodell clarified that he could see his role changing in regards toย the initial decision-making process, and not with internal appeals process.

Regarding aย neutral arbitration, Goodell said he resists this ideaย because the โ€œstandards of the NFL are important to uphold,โ€ and that โ€œyou donโ€™t delegate that responsibility or those standards.โ€
