NFL commissioner Roger Goodell accepts that 2014 was not a great year.

“As an organization and an individual it’s been a tough year but a year of progress,” Goodell said Friday during his State of the League address at the Phoenix Convention Center.

Goodell said he envisions no scenario in which he would be fired or resign despite the hot-stepping from off-field crises spanning domestic violence and personal conduct issues to the current investigation into alleged deflation of footballs by the New England Patriots.

“It has been a tough year. It’s been a tough year on me personally. It’s been a year of what I’d call humility and learning,” Goodell said. “It’s been adversity for me. We take that seriously. It’s an opportunity for us to get better. We’ve all done a lot of soul searching, starting with yours truly.”

The integrity of the league is driving his decisions, the commissioner said. That includes the current investigation of the Patriots led by Ted Wells.

“We want the truth,” Goodell said, downplaying his close personal relationship with Patriots owner Robert Kraft who was recently termed “assistant commissioner” by GQ Magazine.

“We take seriously anything that impacts the integrity of the game. We are focusing principally on two questions — why were some footballs used in the game not in compliance with the rules and was this a deliberate action?”

—Super Bowl coaches Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick shared a stage divided only by the Lombardi Trophy the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots play for Sunday.

“We got a great two weeks. It’s been nothing but fun,” Carroll said. “The opportunity to play in this game is so special, so unique. Everybody’s in good shape for us. About as healthy as we could be at this time of year,”

Carroll praised Belichick and called Robert Kraft’s hire of the coach in 2000 one of the greatest moves in NFL history.

Belichick said, “I think everybody knows how much respect I have for Seattle and Pete. I don’t know if fun is the word I would use. … Our team is excited. We’re excited for the opportunity.”

—With a diverse crowd including former owner John Nordstrom, former quarterback Jim Zorn and hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg watching, the Seahawks completed their major on-field prep work for the Super Bowl.

“We shut down the tempo today because we’ve had two great weeks of preparation,” Carroll said. “We’re just trying to ice it up now, get everything just right, and make sure we’re set to play our best on Sunday.”

Forced inside by a steady rain in the Phoenix area, Carroll said he was pleased with how his team adapted to practicing for most of Thursday and all of Friday inside. “It’s nothing different than we’ve often done at home,” he said.

—Strong safety Kam Chancellor was injured on the penultimate play of practice and left the field with his left knee wrapped. Chancellor was listed as probable on the injury report.

Cornerback Richard Sherman (elbow) and safety Earl Thomas (shoulder) and starting right guard J.R. Sweezy (ankle) participated fully in the Seahawks’ final practice and were listed as probable, along with right tackle Justin Britt (knee) and running back Marshawn Lynch (back).

The Patriots listed center Bryan Stork (knee) as questionable. Stork returned to practice after missing the AFC Championship Game.

Quarterback Tom Brady (ankle) is one of several Patriots listed as probable, along with linebackers Akeem Ayers (knee) and Dont’a Hightower (shoulder), defensive tackle Chris Jones (elbow), cornerback Darrelle Revis (not injury related) and defensive tackle Sealver Siliga (foot).

—Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount will not face a marijuana possession charge based on an arrest while he was in Pittsburgh.

Prosecutors on Friday dropped the charge that stemmed from an Aug. 20 arrest when he was a playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Blount satisfied his penalty by working community service in Boston. He will not have to appear in court in Pittsburgh next week.
