ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) -- The list of candidates for Paul Tagliabue's job as NFL commissioner is down to 11, although with two weeks to go until the final selection meeting, a majority of the owners still don't know who is on it.
The owners met for about three hours at the Detroit airport Monday to help narrow down the potential successors. Then the search committee continued discussing procedures for getting down to a workable number of finalists for the meetings in Chicago on Aug. 7-9 to choose Tagliabue's successor.
"We are pleased with the way it went," said Pittsburgh's Dan Rooney, co-chairman of the selection committee after a 3 1/2 hour meeting that followed the main session. "Things went well and the other owners came up with some ideas." Asked if he thought a commissioner could be selected at the Chicago meeting, Rooney echoed what Tagliabue earlier said: "We're very confident."

Gee, and I did not even receive an invite...and neither did Condi Rice who is over seas today...

So there are 11 candidates, but the NFL's not releasing names? Glad they're keeping us updated on the situation.
