NFL Commissioner Tagliabue announces retirement
Just moved by AP as an alert, so no link yet:

By DAVE GOLDBERG
AP Football Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Tagliabue is retiring as NFL commissioner in July after more than 16 years on the job.

The 65-year-old commissioner has led the league since 1989, when he succeeded Pete Rozelle, and had recently signed a two-year contract extension to complete the television and labor deals.

He finally got that done 12 days ago, finishing the most arduous labor negotiations since the league and union agreed on a free agency-salary cap deal in 1992

1. It's ridiculous that this was moved.
This is about as latest and breaking as it gets.

4. Yeah! Condi, PLEASE, go for the job of your dreams!
I am sure that the NFL would benefit from a piano playing mendacious asshole ruling the skyboxes more than Western CIVILIZATION!
