A day in the life of NFL Commissioner Goodell

How much fun did Steve Kroft have producing a profile of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell? You be the judge.

In this "60 Minutes Overtime" feature, come along for the ride as Kroft and his producing team of Frank Devine and Draggan Mihailovich go behind the scenes with an all-access pass to the NFL. The trio watches playoff games from the commissioner's box, hangs out with him on the sidelines (where Steve got a close look at Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis' banged-up helmet), and tours the NFL's new headquarters. Ever seen a reception desk in the shape a gigantic chrome football?

But the most interesting part of their reporting trip was, believe it or not, observing a management meeting. As you'll see here, Commissioner Goodell's weekly meeting is the ultimate in Monday morning quarterbacking. In a high-tech command center, Goodell and his top officials review the most controversial plays from the past weekend's games. The scene is every football fan's dream come to life.

Isn't it ironic that a diamond ring is such a symbol of America's biggest sports and their winners.. Diamonds from Africa probably...where the sport is not played. Diamonds that are usually a girl's best friend. How about something American instead of another import? Or are these man made diamonds faked by GE?

I was taken aback by the comment Mr. Goodall made regarding wanting fans to enjoy the experience going to the game and being in the stadium. The problem with that is the cost of the ticket is not affordable to the every day fan! They pay the players and coach's way too much money so the ticket prices are way out of control. Only the big businesses can afford to buy them so they can give them to their customers. If they want people to go to the games they have to make it affordable for the ordinary person.

Thanks!
