NFL to add pads to player uniforms

According to a story by the AP earlier, the NFL has made thigh and knee pads mandatory for the 2013 season. Not so surprisingly, the NFLPA is against the idea, saying that action needs to be worked out between the NFL and the Players Association before becoming a rule.

Will the statement made by Goodell to the players and coaches stick?

The NFLPA(NFL Players Association) has filed a grievance that claims that Roger Goodell does not have the authority to discipline the New Orleans Saints players in the bounty case.
