| 5th October, 2008 - 7:27 pm |  ESPN - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to receive a grievance from former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin in the wake of his bitter split with team.
Oakland owner Al Davis said Tuesday that the team will not pay Kiffin for the remainder of his three-year deal worth about $6 million. Kiffin's agent, Gary Uberstine, said the former coach will talk to the commissioner.
"No one ever likes to see a dispute like that happen," Goodell said. "Mr. Davis made it very clear he didn't like it. It was clear that coach Kiffin was uncomfortable under the current circumstances.
"It's something that's unfortunate. You don't want to see it happen."
Goodell expects a grievance to be filed, but he wouldn't intervene in the situation until he is asked to.
"It's a reality of our business," Goodell said. "They've moved on now. If I'm involved in some fashion, or asked to be involved or required to be involved, I will certainly fulfill my responsibility. But I don't think [there's] anything else to say other than it's an unfortunate situation." [READ] |
