C8 FRIDAY, JULY 14, 2006 THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC COYOTES NOTES COMMENTARY SPORTS Seidenberg, Sjostrom agree to 2-year deals 3 NFL insiders have edge to fill Tagliabue'sjob reached agreement oil a multi-year partnership, making AZ-TV the team's over-the-air broadcast home. AZ-TV will broadcast at least 20 games during the 2006-07 season to the more than 1.6 mil-lion homes statewide that receive the network over the air, on cable and on satellite. The schedule of games to be aired has hasn't yet been determined. 2001 NHL draft thrived late in the season after being placed on the top line with Shane Doan and Steven Reinprecht. 1 Sjostrom's average salary for the two seasons will be $775,000.

The signings leave the Coyotes with about $7 million to spend this off-season under the team's self-imposed salary cap. TV deal The Coyotes and AZ-TVhave Seidenberg, 24, will be paid $750,000 for the 2006-07 season and $850,000 for the 2007-08 season. Seidenberg played in 34 games for the Coyotes last season after being acquired from Philadelphia on Jan. 19 for center Petr Nedved. He notched one goal and 10 assists for Phoenix.

Sjostrom, 23, played a career-high 75 games last season and had six goals and 17 assists. The 11th overall pick in the By David Vest The Arizona Republic The top six defensemen on the Coyotes depth chart are under contract. Dennis Seidenberg, who was scheduled to go before a salary arbitrator this month, agreed to a two-year deal on Fredrik Sjostrom also signed a two-year contract. "Arbitration was never really a plan for me," Seidenberg said. "It was just a precaution." By Dave Goldberg Associated Press NEW YORK Five weeks before Paul Tgliabue's retirement date, there remain more than a dozen candidates for his job.

But the real favorites remain Roger Goodell, the league's chief operating officer; Jeff Pash, its in-house counsel; and Rich McKay, the Atlanta Falcons' general manager. One or two others, perhaps from out SCOREBOARD CYCLING TRANSACTIONS are considering, and they don't know mine." Still, the general consensus among those familiar with the search is that the new commissioner almost certainly will be an insider. The NFL commissioner, after all, is hired by 32 CEOs and is both their boss and their employee, something unique to sports and hard to grasp for even the most skilled executive from outside sports. Moreover, those 32 are both partners and rivals on the field, obviously, but also financially. "I don't see how anyone from outside, no matter how qualified, could step into that job and get started without spending a long time learning," said Gene Upshaw, the executive director of the NFLPlayers Association, who has consulted with the committee and KornFerry International, the search firm the Tour de France AT PLA DE BERET, SPAIN 11TH STAGE 128.3 MILES FROM TARBES TO PLA DE BERET, SPAIN, WITH FIVE CUMBS IN THE PYRENEES 1.

Still, nothing is guaranteed: Twenty-two of the 32 teams must agree on the choice, and history says that won't be easy.

"With all the different personalities involved and all the different issues, it probably would take him two years just to figure out who he's dealing with." That's one reason the early favorites remain the late favorites, and political figures from Bill Clinton to Condoleezza' Rice are out.

Goodell does have political genes, though. He is the son of Charles Goodell, a longtime congressman and U.S. senator from New York, and started with the NFL as a public relations intern more than 20 years ago. He has become Tagliabue's point man on many issues, including stadium construction and the league's attempt to get a team back to Los Angeles. For the past half-dozen years or so, he has been considered the heir apparent, and, like Tagliabue, is close to Upshaw, two factors that could make him a target for owners disenchanted with the labor and revenue-sharing agreements.

Pash is also an insider but hasn't been as visible as Goodell, and his legal background gives him a credential that seems to go with commissioners' jobs these days. McKay, the son of the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has both a football and legal background and is co-chairman of the league's competition committee. Another contender with solid credentials is Dick Cass, president of the Baltimore Ravens, with a background as a Washington lawyer which is what Tagliabue was. But the owners have said they want someone who can serve 12-15 years, and Cass is 59 while Goodell, Pash and McKay are 50 or younger. uniteo states, ueroistemer.

Pete Rozelle, a complete outsider, was elected on the 33rd ballot in 1960 to succeed Bert Bell. And in 1989, it took nearly four months after what was supposed to be the final selection meeting to elect Tagliabue over Jim Finks, then the New Orleans general manager. Tagliabue has tried to avoid the problem that occurred during his election, when the selection committee was stacked with Rozelle insiders, and outsiders rebelled at their recommendation of Finks.
