<p>NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is tough on players that run into off the field problems. Adam Jones, Chris Henry, and Michael Vick have all felt the commissioner&#8217;s wrath when they&#8217;ve screwed up. No longer content with the ability to punish players, <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/specials/preview/2008/08/05/fan.code.ap/index.html">Goodell is extending his long arms into the stands</a>.</p>
<p><em><br />
<blockquote>The NFL implemented a new code of fan conduct Tuesday, warning that spectators who misbehave will be ejected from stadiums and barred from coming back.</p>
<p>The policy, first recommended by commissioner Roger Goodell at league meetings in April, is aimed at conduct that the league said &#8220;detracts from the gameday experience.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p></em></p>

<p>After Roger Goodell finishes cleaning up fan behavior in the stands he&#8217;s gonna tackle tailgate parties, sports bars, and people listening to NFL games on the radio. The Commish won&#8217;t rest until all rule breakers answer to him.</p>
