Upon further review ...

PHOENIX -- Indisputable video evidence will be a little easier to obtain in 2007.

The league's owners voted 30-2 on Tuesday to permanently adopt instant replay and upgrade all equipment before the season. They're going HD with everything which should bring disputed plays into clearer relief. Hopefully, the new equipment will also speed the process.

The other resolution that passed unanimously on Tuesday allows assistant coaches who are in the mix for head coaching jobs to take part in a follow-up interview if their team is in the Super Bowl.

Previously, assistants whose teams were in the playoffs were allowed to interview only between the wild card games and the civisional playoffs. That ended up hurting assistants whose teams were in the Super Bowl since nearly a month could pass between their first interview and their follow-up.

The caveat to this is that the assistant can only interview if there's a two-week break between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl.

Owners knocked down the proposal to allow sideline-to-helmet communication with a defensive player. And the 49ers' proposal to revise the pass interference penalty was withdrawn.

On Wednesday, owners will vote on whether to expand the game day roster from 45 players to 47, whether to implement a 5-yard penalty for spiking the ball at the end of a play that doesn't result in a touchdown, moving the overtime kickoff point from the 30 to the 35 and allowing balls used in the kicking game to be worked over before being put into play.

Not exactly anything you'd break into regularly scheduled programming for, is it?

As it stands the most significant happening at these meetings was the hashing out of the revenue sharing plan on Monday. The anticipated announcement of changes to the player conduct policy will not happen this week, indicated NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. He does expect there to be a new plan in place before the draft.
