It’s Super Bowl week and the commissioner is holding an invite-only news conference for 125 members of the press. Officiating, rule changes and international series could be on his agenda
The press conference coincides with Super Bowl 2024 media day and unfortunately Goodell’s conference won’t be open to the public. That doesn’t mean that the subjects he’ll address are of less interest.
