Gene Upshaw, the NFLPA's executive director, said he was added to the list of consultants for the search for the NFL's new commissioner at the insistence of Paul Tagliabue and the co-chairs of the search committee, Pittsburgh's Dan Rooney and Carolina's Jerry Richardson.

Long past the days when he jumped onto the football scene with an impressive Super Bowl showing, Timmy Smith has now been sentenced to two and a half years in federal prison for conspiring to distribute cocaine.

The City Council voted Friday to spend $25 million on improvements around the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in hopes of luring an NFL team back to the city.

NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue will not retire from the League on his scheduled July 31st date.
