MINNEAPOLIS -- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stood behind the Minnesota Vikings' decision to start quarterback Brett Favre only two days after ruling the veteran out to face the Chicago Bears on Monday night.

"I haven't got much of an update on that, other than to say that these are medical decisions," Goodell said. "The status of an individual is based on medical reports. As I understand, he wasn't capable of playing two days ago, and he's made tremendous progress."

Goodell is busy dealing with another Favre topic -- his alleged inappropriate behavior toward a former New York Jets employee in 2008 when Favre was playing for New York.

"As soon as I reach a conclusion, I'll be announcing that," Goodell said. "I'm not going to put a timetable on that. I'm still following up on some of the information and making sure we're being thorough"

MINNEAPOLIS -- Officials here in the press box at TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota just announced that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will meet at 6 p.m. CT with reporters.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A day after NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith rated the seriousness of the league's labor situation a 14 on a scale of 1-10, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell used far softer rhetoric on the subject.

"I couldn't make that prediction, and I sure hope he's wrong," Goodell said Friday. "I sure hope it doesn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We don't need a lot of focus on that, we need to take advantage of the opportunity we have right now to structure an agreement, and sit down and negotiate. That's how this is going to get done, and we will have an agreement. It's just a matter of when."

"But talking about options like work stoppages is not going to get us there. We need to sit down and make those deals and figure out how to structure something that makes sense. A work stoppage is not a positive outcome for anybody. Both sides will lose money, and the fans most importantly, will lose football."

"We have got to avoid that, and our commitment and our determination is to work hard to do that."

Goodell claims owners have lost $200 million since 2006.
