OCT 19 NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL EXTENDED – Commissioner Roger Goodell has signed a new contract extension to remain the leader of the league through the 2027 season as team owners approved the agreement at this week’s meetings in New York.

Goodell, who replaced Paul Tagliabue as commissioner in 2006, will now have his career earnings surpass $700 million – twice more than any player in NFL history.

The 64-year-old started with the league in 1982 as an administrative intern. His extension will push his service to 45 years in the NFL and 21 as commissioner.

OCT 18 TYUS BOWSER ‘FEELING GREAT,’ ‘GETTING TO THAT POINT’ As the Baltimore Ravens opened the week, head coach John Harbaugh was mum on the status of linebacker Tyus Bowser, who has been on the non-football injury list all season.

“I’m going to let Tyus comment on that,” Harbaugh said, per Childs Walker of the Baltimore Sun. “I’m really not at liberty to talk about it right now. He’s got to make some choices and decisions.”

Bowser did just that on the latest episode of “The Tyus Bowser Show” on PressBox, hinting at intentions of playing this season.

“I’m on the field,” Bowser said. “I’m moving around very well. I’m just gaining more and more confidence each and every day, not only on the field, but in the training room. I have great people around me, great support staff, and I feel like myself is getting to that point. I’m just going to continue to work hard, and when that time comes, it comes.”

Bowser, 28, has spent his entire career in Baltimore since arriving as a second-round pick in the 2017 draft. He emerged as a starter in 2021 and picked up a career-best seven sacks before a torn Achilles stifled further momentum last year. His recent comments suggest that he’s planning to make a return to the field before this season lets out.

“If I can play, I’ll definitely play,” Bowser said Tuesday. “That’s the goal. That’s the mindset.”

OCT 16 HAMILTON “NOTHING MALICIOUS” BEHIND HIT ON MOORE Kyle Hamilton was confused yet apologetic about the hit that forced his early exit from Sunday’s 24-16 win over the Tennessee Titans (see below).

The second-year Baltimore Ravens safety was removed for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Tennessee receiver Chris Moore during second half action. After a replay review, Hamilton was sent to the locker room while his teammates finished off the win.

“I don’t have really any quarrels with the call itself, but obviously, I just don’t want to be ejected,” Hamilton said in the aftermath, per Ryan Mink of the Ravens’ official site. “But, at the end of the day, the story is not about me. We came out here and got a win. Everybody was locked in (and) focused.”

Despite his confusion, Hamilton was apologetic toward Moore.

“I turned to look at the receiver split second,” Hamilton said. “(I) hit him, tried to get the ball out. He came up, shaken up, unfortunately, so (I’m) praying for him. Hopefully, he’s doing well … (There was) nothing malicious about it from my perspective. I wasn’t trying to hurt him. I wasn’t trying to do anything bad. I was just trying to get the ball out.”

OCT 15 KYLE HAMILTON EJECTED Baltimore Ravens defensive back Kyle Hamilton is making an early exit in London.

The second-year defensive back was ejected in the second half of the team’s game against the Tennessee Titans after a helmet-to-helmet hit on receiver Chris Moore.
