Filed under: Jets, NFL Media Watch, NFL Labor NegotiationsNFL commissioner Roger Goodell dipped his toe into recent conversation about the HBO miniseries "Hard Knocks," and the use of profanity by Jets coach Rex Ryan during the program, which drew criticism from former Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy.
Appearing Wednesday on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning," Goodell offered his take. "Obviously, at times, you're going to get language that's not appropriate for all ages. It's something that we're not proud of, but it's a reality of what's happening in those camps."
Goodell also said the league and the National Football League Players Association should get a collective bargaining agreement settled before March before it becomes problematic, saying the two sides are working towards settling their differences before a rumored owner-imposed lockout occurs after this season, but the talks need a sense of urgency.
"There's really a window here," said Goodell. "This deal is going to be easier to make between now and let's say March. Once we get to March, it just becomes more complicated and more difficult. We really need to work hard in the next several months to try to get something that works for the players, that works for the owners and works for the game."
