The measures announced by the league include a more extensive list of prohibited conduct, independent investigative procedures, and a "Baseline suspension of six games without pay for violations involving assault, battery, domestic violence, dating violence, child abuse, other forms of family violence, or sexual assault, with consideration given to possible mitigating or aggravating circumstances."

Commissioner Roger Goodell called the enhanced policy "Significantly more robust, thorough, and formal." Ref. CNN

Brady Belichick Offer No Explanation For Deflated Footballs (Yahoo Sports)
NFL Related News

The two men most responsible for delivering wins for the New England Patriots both said Thursday they have no explanation for how footballs used to reach the Super Bowl were underinflated by 2 pounds per square inch. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he has not been contacted by the NFL, even as league officials investigate whether the team cheated against the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game. ''I don't know what happened,'' Brady said, answering questions from reporters hours after Patriots coach Bill Belichick said he almost never thinks about football pressure and doesn't know what happened, either. Unlike Belichick, who answered questions briefly after a long opening remark by repeatedly saying ''I've told you everything I know'' and ''I don't have an explanation,'' Brady answered many questions for a half hour and said he doesn't think about the conditions of the ball during games.
