at a press conference, where he fielded a question about Bryant's death and the league's response to the tragedy.
"I'm proud of… the way our players, the way our league, responded [on Sunday, after the accident] -- including a moment of silence during the game, with Kobe's picture up -- and the way our fans responded," Goodell said."And we did that again on Monday night." "We as a league have been very responsive, and I think respectful, of somebody who contributed so much to sports," he added.
Goodell also addressed the death of Pro Football Hall of Famer and Minnesota Vikings defensive end Chris Doleman,"We also lost one of our own legends last night, Chris Doleman, last night. I personally was very fond of him, and he meant a great deal to me and the league in general," Goodell said."So I think both of those individuals will be seen on Sunday."
However, Goodell did not elaborate on what the league had planned for the expected tributes at this year's Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 2
