Ignorance is not a suitable defense

I take my responsibilities very seriously.

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

The owners don't win by having a lockout. Shutting down your business is not good for anybody and it's certainly not good for the players, it's certainly not good for the fans. And that's most important to us.

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.

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

When there's a pattern of mistakes, something has got to change.
