The 50-year-old NFL commissioner Roger Goodell joined the climb tour together with the Seahawks coach Jim Mora and Seahawks chief executive Tod Leiweke. They have been good so far and successfully completed a first day of mountaineering training on Monday.
“Gotta say the commish performed. He is a good listener and grasped mountaineering basics reasonably well,” Guide Peter Whittaker told The Associated Press in an e-mail. No one took any jerseys with them, even one piece of vikings jersey.
They planned to reach Camp Muir, at 10,080 feet Tuesday and rest there before starting to summit Mount Rainier--the 14,411-foot volcano is Washington’s highest peak--on Wednesday morning. It was said that only half of the climbers who attempt to scale the mountain each year was able to reach the top.

Browns WR Stallworth is suspended indefinitely
After Browns WR Donte' Stallworth began a 30-day jail sentence for killing a a pedestrian while driving drunk in Miami, what he lost are more than freedom, but also his career.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote a letter to Stalworth saying that he decided to suspend him indefinitely because he caused irreparable harm.
"The conduct reflected in your guilty plea resulted in the tragic loss of life and was inexcusable," Goodell wrote. "While the criminal justice system has determined the legal consequences of this incident, it is my responsibility as NFL commissioner to determine appropriate league discipline for your actions, which have caused irreparable harm to the victim and his family, your club, your fellow players and the NFL."
Goodell also said that he will eventually contact Stallworth's representatives before determining the length of the suspension.
