The Facts:
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.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
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. ... For that -- as well as many other innovations that came during his tenure (NFL.com and the NFL Network come immediately to mind), Fantasy owners are truly grateful.
