Goodell, Smith back on Hill next week
According to the Associated Press, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the NFL Players Association, are scheduled to testify before a Congressional subcommittee during a hearing Tuesday that is to examine the case in which court decisions have kept the league from enforcing its suspensions of two Minnesota Vikings players who tested positive last year for a banned diuretic. It will be the second Capitol Hill appearance in less than a week for Goodell and Smith. Both testified before the House Judiciary Committee during a hearing Wednesday on the rate and severity of brain injuries suffered by NFL players. Tuesday's hearing is to come before the House subcommittee on commerce, trade and consumer protection.
