News about Roger Goodell

Jason Kelce joked that he and his brother Travis' 'New Heights' podcast was behind commissioner Roger Goodell's latest NFL proposal. Earlier this week, Goodell suggested that the NFL could soon adopt an 18-game regular season (up from 17), which would cause Super Bowl Sunday to be moved to Presidents' Day weekend, when US fans have Monday off. And while the recently-retired Jason won't be playing through those changes himself, he believes he and Travis were ahead of the curve.

The move comes as Goodell looks to re-structure the league's timetable. While most regular season games will remain, Goodell hopes to add another by eliminating the preseason. On an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, the commissioner opened up on his ideas. 'I think we're good at 17 [games] now,' Goodell said. 'But, listen, we're looking at how we continue. I'm not a fan of the preseason. The reality is, I'd rather replace a preseason game with a regular-season game any day. That's just picking quality.'

On multiple occasions, Goodell addressed the possible change ahead of last week's NFL Draft in Detroit. Andrews took to social media on Friday to express his thoughts on Goodell saying he is 'not a fan' of the preseason. 'With all due respect, you don't need it cause you're not suiting up, and there's a lot of veterans who don't,' Andrews wrote on Instagram.

Taylor Swift was booed by the live audience of 'The Pat McAfee Show' at the NFL Draft in Detroit while he interviewed league commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell, who is known for being booed at every NFL Draft, could not even be saved from getting a negative reaction when walking out with Eminem. Swift being booed by an NFL audience is a new one, as she attended 13 Kansas City Chiefs games last season to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce play. 

After securing his place on an NFL roster with the Chicago Bears, Caleb Williams - the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft - also has a new girlfriend, it seems. As the former USC quarterback prepared to be selected to lead the Bears into a new era, Williams set the internet alight as he walked the red carpet with Alina Thyregod.  The couple were clearly in sync as Williams wore a sharp Chrome Hearts suit, while his girlfriend wore a matching silver dress.

Roger Goodell deflected the boos from the NFL Draft crowd in Detroit by bringing out hometown favorite rapper Eminem. Goodell walked onstage alone to Eminem's hit song 'Not Afraid' and received his usual chorus of boos from the crowd. However, jeers quickly turned to jeers as the 51-year-old rapper appeared seconds later and sent the crowd wild. 

One of the biggest questions heading into Thursday's NFL Draft was the status of commissioner Roger Goodell's traditional hugs with draftees. As reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, Goodell underwent back surgery three weeks ago, and while he is recovering, it was unclear if he intended to do any hugging on Thursday in Detroit.

With less than 48 hours until Roger Goodell reads off the first name of the NFL Draft in Detroit, there's still plenty of mystery as to just exactly how the night will unfold. Sure, pick No. 1 is more likely than not locked in thanks to the top play of Caleb Williams from USC. But beyond that, there remain questions: How many quarterbacks will be taken? Will any teams trade up? Two of our writers decided to take their chance on trying to pick the first round of the draft right. We'll probably fail, but that's the fun in all of it.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has enlisted the help of an unlikely ally to help promote the upcoming NFL Draft.  Rap legend Eminem has taken part in a promotional advert alongside the commissioner ahead of this year's event, which begins in Detroit on Thursday. The short clip, posted on social media, shows Eminem sitting alongside Goodell in a studio. 

One or two of its media partners is likely to give the NFL a Christmas gift early this year. With the league's recent news that two games would be played this year, the league is expected to open the bidding to NBC, Fox Sports, CBS, ESPN-ABC, and Amazon Prime Video, a multi-billion-dollar franchise that will collectively pay the NFL $110 billion through 2033. Front Office Sports was the first to announce the bidding process. The NFL refused to respond to the website, and did not respond to DailyMail.com's request for more details right away. Michael McCarthy of FOS puts the over/under on opening bids at around $50 million.

Tom Brady is'progressing' in his bid to become a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, according to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Brady, widely regarded as the best quarterback in history, decided to buy a minority Raiders stake in May of last year, just months after bringing the curtain down on his illustrious NFL career. Since then, however, the agreement has been delayed due to claims from other teams in the league, as well as the 46-year-old's forthcoming transition to on-air broadcasting with FOX Sports.

Two players scrambled the quarterback over the line to gain a sneak.'Brotherly Shove' was the change that was later described as 'Brotherly Shove.' Despite rumors that the move will be banned due to Philadelphia's frequent use, NFL executive VP of football operations Troy Vincent said the league has no such intention. On Pro Football Talk, Vincent said, 'Don't punish a team that tactically does it well.'

'We've got to keep playing our best football,' Mahomes said in front of reporters on Monday. 'We'll be celebrating these next two weeks and then we'll get right back to it.' NFL Commiss named the Texas native his third Super Bowl MVP award. Just moments before being asked about the three-peat goal, Roger Goodell was pressed.

The pop star and the 64-year-old businessman, the NFL's sixth commissioner, were on show at Allegiant Stadium, just hours after Swift returned from Los Angeles as part of her Eras Tour.

With Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium selected to host a 2025 regular season match-up, the NFL will play in Spain for the first time in history. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell outlined the reasons behind the decision in Las Vegas as the league continues to grow in Europe following regular games in London and Germany.

Roger Goodell sat in front of reporters and discussed a conspiracy theory for what he probably hopes will be the last time: No, the NFL did not rig the AFC Championship game, but the Kansas City Chiefs did not rig it, so that is the case. According to some, The Shield manipulated the findings in order to bring Travis Kelce - and, er, Taylor Swift - to the Super Bowl and in front of millions of viewers around the world. But Goodell was quick to put out the fire, saying, 'The belief that this was script and pre-planned is nonsense.'

The San Francisco 49ers have nothing to worry about when it comes to their training arrangements ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, according to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. On Monday, reports revealed that an advance team sent by the Niners to tour their temporary practice facility at UNLV was dissatisfied with how smooth the natural grass surface laid over the artificial turf was. Goodell says that "work is being carried out every single day" to evaluate the field and prepare it for the incoming team.

Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, said that the friendship between Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift has been positive for the league. When speaking to the media in Las Vegas on Sunday to kick off Super Bowl Week, Goodell made his remarks, which would most likely irk the nerves of a large segment of football. The Taylor Swift influence is also a good thing.' Both Travis and Taylor are wonderful young people, and they seem to be joking about it.' Goodell described them as "very happy."

The first game in Brazil in the 2024 season will be played by the Philadelphia Eagles as the home team.

NFL fans were invited to the company's subscription website, where the Chiefs-Dolphins playoff matchup was shown exclusively on Saturday. Of course, paying Peacock's monthly fee could not be everyone's idea of history, even though this is the first playoff game to be made available solely through a subscription service. "I know the Peacock app deal was confusing, but I'm also glad we get to be a part of history," the Ringer's Ryen Russillo joked on X. 'Thank you NFL owners!'

On Saturday evening, the Buffalo Bills released a video of Highmark Stadium being buried in snow and whipped by lake effect winds. With the exception of a few cars and the uprights, it was impossible to see anything in clear detail. It's now clear why the AFC Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was postponed to Monday after it was originally scheduled for Sunday.

According to an open letter sent by Democratic congressman Pat Ryan of New York, NFL and NBC are ripping off football fans by putting Saturday's Kansas City Chiefs-Miami Dolphins playoff game on a subscription streaming service. In the letter sent to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NBC Sports President Rick Cordella, Ryan wrote, 'It's a disgrace.' Fans already pay exorbitant prices to watch every game during the regular season, but they don't want to be squeezed even more by greedy companies.' 'This bait-and-switch is particularly offensive to customers who already pay for NBC as part of their cable subscription.' Since Peacock is a NBCUniversal affiliate, this exclusive contract effectively doubles on loyal fans of games they've already paid for.' NBC paid $110 million to play Peacock, which usually costs $6 a month per month for a subscription, but the Chiefs-Dolphins match will be held on the NBC.

Due to bad weather, the Buffalo Bills playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers has been postponed until Monday afternoon. Governor Kathy Hochul tweeted: "I've been in contact with @NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about the difficult weather in Buffalo this weekend.' The Bills game will be postponed to 4:30 p.m. on Monday, in consultation with our emergency response teams, Buffalo Bills chief, and the NFL.'

According to a recent book, Tom Brady holds the letter sent by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell describing his Deflategate suspension among other career artifacts. After the NFL discovered that all 11 footballs used by the Patriots in the 2014 AFC Championship Game were underinflated, Brady was suspended by the league in 2015 for four games (but didn't serve the suspension until next year). Brady said, 'I would never do anything to breach the rules,' but a probe by Ted Wells later determined it was'more likely' than not that [he] was aware' of team members deflating the balls.'
