NFL says commissioner Tagliabue to retire in July
NFL says commissioner Tagliabue to retire in July
Associated Press NEW YORK -- Paul Tagliabue is retiring as NFL commissioner in July after more than 16 years on the job. The 65-year-old commissioner has led the league since 1989, when he succeeded Pete Rozelle, and had recently signed a two-year contract extension to complete the television and labor deals. He finally got that done 12 days ago, finishing the most arduous labor negotiations since the league and union agreed on a free agency-salary cap deal in 1992. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2376850 |

Rumor has been around for a while. The new CBA really was the last thing he had to do.

Tags was looking very tired and zombie like in all the CBA photos, it is definitely time to move on. |

What was Tags doing before he was the commish?
Rozelle was a GM and was only 33 when he became the commish. |

I think Tags was a league lawyer.
Paul Tagliabue From TheBestLinks.com Paul Tagliabue (born November 24, 1940) is an American sports executive. He has been the Commissioner of the National Football League since 1989. He had previously served as a lawyer for the NFL. Tagliabue played basketball at Georgetown University before the school became a major basketball power.
