Roger Goodell has reviewed the footage taken from the Pats' sideline and determined that the team violated league rules by recording signals. The commissioner is considering sanctions, which could be as severe as stripping the Pats of multiple draft picks. More »

ESPN identified the substance as human growth hormone. More »

      Atlanta quarterback MIchael Vick has been barred from the Falcons training camp by National Football Commissioner Roger Goodell until the league can review federal dogfighting charges against him. "While it is for the criminal justice system to determine your guilt or innocence, it is my responsibility to determine whether your conduct violated league policies," Goodell wrote in a letter to Vick.

      NFL commissioner Roger Goodell continued the league's crackdown on unsavory extracurriculars with an 8-game suspension of Tank Johnson, who was recently jailed for violating probation on gun charges and whose bodyguard was killed in a club shooting in December.  Johnson hopes to pare the suspension to six games with good behavior.

      NFL Commish Benches Bad-Boy Players

      Fresh NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has meted out a season-long suspension to Titans cornerback and police-blotter regular Adam "Pacman" Jones, plus an eight-game layoff for similarly intractable Bengals wideout Chris Henry.  Goodell, argues Len Pasquarelli, has thus broken with his more timid predecessor Paul Tagliabue and set the tone for a tougher administration.

      Brawl Could Cost Pacman 2007 Season

      Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman'' Jones may be forced to sit out the 2007 season as the first casualty of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's off-field conduct crackdown. More than 50 NFL players have been arrested since January 2006, prompting Goodell to push tougher punishments, even for those like Jones who have not yet been formally charged. More »
