NFL attorneys declined the NFLPA's request to have commissioner Roger Goodell testify in front of U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones, who is hearing and deciding the appeal of Ray Rice's indefinite suspension, according to a source. It doesn't mean Goodell won't testify. Judge Jones could compel him to do so. But the last thing the NFL wants, sources say, is to have Goodell's word matched up against Ray Rice's, who has told people he told the commissioner nothing but the truth.
