The NFL commish wants to cut down on… cheating.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wants the league to conduct unannounced inspections of locker rooms, stadium press boxes and in-game communications equipment, and to lower the standard of proof needed for him to impose penalties on a team or person for cheating, according to a memo obtained by The Washington Post.

The proposals were among a series of changes Goodell wants implemented before next season “to preserve the competitive integrity of the game” and “maintain public confidence” in the sport, according to the memo, which he sent to the league’s competition committee yesterday. The memo represents Goodell’s strongest response to the controversy stemming from the videotaping scandal involving the New England Patriots this past season and the league’s handling of it.
