The National Football League (NFL) announced it would examine New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch's connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to the New York Times. The league's commissioner, Roger Goodell, addressed the matter at a news conference in San Jose, California, days before the Super Bowl.

The announcement followed the release of Justice Department documents that revealed the connection between Tisch, 76, and Epstein. However, Goodell stopped short of declaring a formal investigation into Tisch's actions at this time.
