Hargrove talks to Goodell ROUNDUP: Former Port Charlotte star has meeting regarding "bounty" suspension

Will Smith and Anthony Hargrove met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday about the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal and Scott Fujita's meeting was postponed.

Fujita, now with the Cleveland Browns, is undergoing treatment for an injured left knee which he hurt during the preseason and couldn't come to New York.

Smith and Hargrove, who is a former Port Charlotte High School star and currently a free agent, did not make themselves available to reporters.

The players had to meet with Goodell after the suspensions he placed on them were lifted by an appeals panel. Fujita, Smith, Hargrove and Jonathan Vilma were penalized for their roles in the New Orleans bounty program, from 2009-11.

The commissioner met Monday with Vilma, still a New Orleans linebacker.

Around the NFL

With the eye of an art history major, Steve Sabol filmed the NFL as a ballet and blockbuster movie all in one. Half of the father-son team that revolutionized sports broadcasting, the NFL Films president died Tuesday of brain cancer at age 69 in Moorestown, N.J. "Steve Sabol was the creative genius behind the remarkable work of NFL Films," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "Steve's legacy will be part of the NFL forever." Sabol's father, Ed, founded NFL Films in 1964. They introduced a series of innovations taken for granted today, from super slow-motion replays to blooper reels to sticking microphones on coaches and players. And they hired the "Voice of God," John Facenda, to read lyrical descriptions in solemn tones. ... QB Vince Young finds himself without a team and almost out of money, despite having a $26M guaranteed contract early in his career. Attorneys have been arguing for months over whether Young is an out-of-control spender or simply a victim of inexperienced advisers. "I would just say that Vince needs a job," said Trey Dolezal, Young's attorney.

LATE MONDAY

FALCONS 27, BRONCOS 21

ATLANTA -- Peyton Manning kept throwing up wobbly passes.

The Atlanta Falcons kept picking them off.

Taking advantage of a stunning three interceptions in the first quarter, Matt Ryan and the Falcons built a big lead and held on for a victory over Denver on Monday night, an erratic effort by Manning that showed his comeback in the Mile High City is still a work in progress.

Ryan threw the 100th touchdown pass of his career, Roddy White had 102 yards receiving and the Falcons (2-0) made a 20-0 lead stand up, if just barely.

Willis McGahee scored on two 2-yard touchdown runs in the fourth quarter to give the Broncos (1-1) late hope. But, on third down, Ryan connected with Julio Jones on a 6-yard pass that gave Atlanta a crucial first down with less than 2 minutes to go.

Manning was 24 of 37 for 241 yards, including a 17-yard TD pass to Demaryius Thomas just before halftime. Ryan completed 24 of 36 for 219 yards.

Just hours after the game, Falcons running back Michael Turner was jailed on charges of drunken driving and speeding.

Turner, 30, was booked into the Gwinnett County jail just after 5 a.m. He spent about two hours behind bars before he was released on $2,179 bond.
