He was elected on the fifth ballot among the league's 32 owners.</div>
JUST heard this on NFL Network. Pretty interesting how he is the 6th NFL commissioner in the entire history of the NFL. I'll get a link soon..

I'm not very informed on a lot of these kind of things. If Venom thinks it's a nice move, I guess I'll side with him.

I haven't followed this or anything.</div>He wanted the Commissioner canidate from the Washington area, but in reality this was the best move that could have been made since Goodell was Tagliabue's right hand man for so many years and the one man who would have instant respect going into the job from all parties. Plus hes a New Yorker.
from an intern to the commissioner of the NFL great story...but he has one tough act to follow with Paul Tagliabue.....We'll see how good of a move this was when the CBA runs out.
