No one is above the game or the rules that govern it. Respect for the game and the people who participate in it will not be compromised.

The highest standards of conduct must be met by everyone in the NFL because it is a privilege to represent the NFL, not a right.

Every game in the NFL is important.

I hold head coaches accountable.

I don't get myself caught up in the rhetoric of any personal comments that are made.

I don't expect to try to get people to like everything I do. I want them to respect what I do.

One of the strong principles that I believe in is that you're always learning, whether you're a commissioner, a current general manager, a president or an owner, or somebody that's trying to become a general manger or a coach in the NFL.
