For the majority of Tuesday morning, the NFL’s widescreen football conversation was unfolding in Eagan, Minnesota. Questions abounded at the league’s owners meetings about whether kickoffs were being targeted for elimination from the game; when the Washington Commanders would finally be sold; and how much longer commissioner Roger Goodell would continue his duties as the most highly paid executive in sports history.
It was the typical big picture stuff that simmers at the meetings. And all it took to sweep it off the front end of the news cycle was Aaron Rodgers heading out to a New York Jets practice without a helmet.
