Boston, MA, United States (AHN) - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly expressed confidence that the 2010 season will not be impacted with the current labor issue. Goodell indicated that a new collective bargaining agreement will eventually be completed.

Though there was “no specific update” on the labor negotiations between the league and its union, there are meetings scheduled in the next few weeks, Goodell said during a press conference Sunday following his commencement address at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell graduation.

There have been no talks between the two sides for quite some time.

Goodell confidently stated, as reported by the Boston Globe on its website, that there was still “a lot of football to be played, so we're going to be playing this season with absolutely no interruption and it's not unusual that we are where we are."

He stressed that there was still work to be done, but added that “there will be an agreement."

Goodell received an honorary doctorate with his brothers on behalf of their late father.

It is not like we have anything else more important .... such as an oil leak in the
Gulf of Mexico that if left unchecked will kill off huge sections of our oceans.
