I'm certainly not a fan of the Ommissioner, but it's only fair to give him props when he gets something right:
Polamalu had been fined 10 grand for calling his wife on a cell phone and letting her know that he was alright after being pulled from a game with "concussion like symptoms".
Polamalu wins appeal of $10,000 fine for calling his wife | ProFootballTalk
This was well done by the league, and Goodell gets the nod from me for this one. Maybe they'll now take the next step and find a way to work such notifications into their general policies moving forward.

But now there’s some good news for Polamalu, and for fans who think a five-figure fine is slightly excessive for an offense as trivial as checking in with a loved one after an injury: Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that Polamalu was notified on Thursday that he has won his appeal of the fine.
