For months, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has been acting like the prosecutor in the New Orleans Saints bounty case. Now former commissioner Paul Tagliabue at least seems to be acting like a judge.

Tagliabue, who was brought in to hear the players' latest round of appeals, certainly won't find the Saints innocent of all the bounty accusations he's been reviewing the past two weeks. And he might even wind up reaching many of the same conclusions that Goodell reached.

But Tagliabue at least did something that Goodell never did. He took a thorough look at the whole picture, hearing arguments from all sides in a courtroom-style setting, before making his ruling, which is expected next week.
