[edit] Is he currently Commissioner??

They say he is the new commissioner, yet I hear he won't take over until Tagliabue retires and in a NFL Network Press Release will happen before the Regular Season starts.--Jerluvsthecubs 23:27, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I just changed the phrasing and added a link to this story on CBC.ca that says he expects to begin work before the beginning of the regular season. I'd have been surprised if he was hired effective immediately. -- Plutor 11:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Election

The section dealing with his election as commissioner contradicts the lead paragraph. The section suggests the final vote was 23-8, while the lead says unanimous. The sources support the lead, with SI.com saying 32-0, meaning the Raiders did not abstain as the section claims. I couldn't find any support for the vote totals for the first 4 rounds of voting in the sources; anyone know where that information came from? -- Jonel | Speak 21:08, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Washington Post columnist Mark Maske supports the account contrary to the lead in this post: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/nflinsider/2006/08/commissioner_vote_was_close.html.

Great, thanks! -- Jonel | Speak 05:09, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Age Discrepancy

His birth year is given as 1959 yet his high school graduation year is given as 1971. Not possible 24.211.5.191 04:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NFL outside of the US

I made the change to the quote from the article cited as the original wording in the wikipedia article was far to optimistic given what the actual article stated. Smith03 01:31, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
