It is widely assumed that Roger Goodell and the NFL will release an anti-bullying policy in reaction to this year’s highly publicized ‘Jonathan Martin / Richie Incognito / Miami Dolphins’ situation.

The Greatest Super Bowl Ever
Super Bowl 48 was a let-down for many fans this year, a blow-out victory that was over as soon as it began.
