Commissioner Roger Goodell and Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith will both testify at a Congressional hearing on head injuries among NFL players.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr., D-Mich., said the committee will hold its hearing Oct. 28. Conyers announced the committee's intention to hold the hearings on legal issues relating to football head injuries Oct. 2.
The decision to hold the hearings follows a preliminary study done for the NFL which suggested retired pro football players may have a higher rate than normal of Alzheimer's disease or other memory problems.
LAWSUIT: Ben Roethlisberger is seeking unspecified counter damages from a woman he says falsely accused him of rape in what his lawyer describes as a plan she hatched to seduce the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback in his Lake Tahoe casino-hotel room.
The woman alleged in a civil suit filed in Washoe District Court in July that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her at Harrah's in July 2008.
