FBN--WHAT'S NEW

NEW YORK - What's new in the NFL? Try longer extra-point kicks, and perhaps more 2-point conversion attempts. Medical timeouts. Darrelle Revis returning to the Jets, while Rex Ryan leaves them - and lands in Western New York. Tim Tebow back in the NFL. And plenty more. By Pro Football Writer Barry Wilner. UPCOMING: 800 words, photos, by noon Friday, July 31.

BC-FBN--NFL'S ENDLESS TROUBLES

Roger Goodell declared at the Super Bowl that the NFL had made ''enormous progress'' on social issues after last year's incessant barrage of disturbing developments. Yet, the league endured an offseason marked by even more crime and punishment: a steady stream of player arrests and owners disciplined for violating rules. Another owner's son and potential successor was arrested after a fight with his girlfriend, and a Hall of Famer was fired from his TV gig after allegedly assaulting two women. Then, there was the superstar convicted of murder. By Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton. UPCOMING: 800 words, photos, by noon Saturday, Aug. 1.

BC-FBN--EARLY RETIREMENT

SAN FRANCISCO - NFL players have brought a whole new meaning to early retirement. Players 30 and under, including 49ers star linebacker Patrick Willis and teammate Chris Borland - at 24 with only one pro season on his resume - quit the game in the offseason. So did the likes of Jake Locker, Anthony Davis and Jason Worilds. By Janie McCauley. UPCOMING: 800 words, photos, by noon Thursday, July 30.
