Unlike the high-powered attorney who represented Donte' Stallworth this week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't mince words or debate the esoteric differences between a plaintiff's plea bargain and a court's guilty verdict. Instead, it is Goodell's sometimes thankless charge to protect the ...

The question has to be whether Goodell actions are overzealous. I'll probably reserve my own judgment for when ...
