NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell worked for Paul Tagliabue, has always expressed admiration for Tagliabue, and believed Tagliabue was the right man to determine the player discipline in the Saints bounty case. But after Tagliabue overruled Goodell and decided that no Saints players would be suspended, Goodell is disappointed in Tagliabue.
I was disappointed he could find conduct detrimental and there is no discipline, that he could excuse that type of accountability as a coachs responsibility, Goodell said of Tagliabue in an interview with the New York Times. I dont share that perspective. This isnt a new policy. The bounty rule has been in place for decades. Its a core part of our rules.
