NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Sunday that he intends to meet with Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young "sometime in the next few weeks" to discuss his recent misdemeanor assault citation at a Dallas strip club. Goodell acknowledged that a first-time legal offender like Young is unlikely to face an NFL suspension. Young, though, is guilty of embarrassing the NFL with a physical confrontation that was caught on the strip club's security camera. When announcing a six-game suspension for Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in April, Goodell said one of the reasons for the punishment stemmed from behavior that "undermines or puts at risk the integrity and reputation of the NFL, NFL clubs or players." Asked whether Young did the same and if that would factor into his final decision, Goodell said, "I think you have to look at these cases individually and understand them in a way of what are the issues going on with any individual. The intent of the (personal conduct) policy is to intervene so you help some individuals make a better decision and avoid these troubles. So when I sit down and look at all the facts around Vince or any other player, you want to make sure they understand that and what the policy was designed to do and more importantly understand the responsibility (of being an NFL player)."

Which one is it Roger?? Is the policy intended to deal with the behavior of individuals, or protect the integrity of the league as a whole? It can't be both...
