A day after speaking with chief critic Jason Taylor of the Miami Dolphins, Shawne Merriman yesterday spent a few moments talking with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after the AFC squad practiced at Aloha Stadium. ?He's a very straight-up guy,? Goodell said. ?I think he recognizes the issue and he's supportive of what we're going to do. I think he wants to be very active in making sure other people don't make the same mistakes. I was very impressed with him.?
