NFL to Honor Rozelle Silently
A moment of silence will be observed at the 14 NFL games today and Monday night in memory of former commissioner Pete Rozelle, who died Friday at 70.
Arrangements for memorial services in Los Angeles and New York were still pending, the NFL commissioner’s office said.
Rozelle will be cremated after a private service, the time and place of which will not be announced. He died of brain cancer at his home in Rancho Santa Fe.
Rozelle, NFL commissioner from 1960-1989, will also be honored at the Super Bowl on Jan. 26 in New Orleans.
