HOUSTON — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has not received a grievance from former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin in the wake of his bitter split with team owner Al Davis last week.

Davis said Tuesday that Kiffin was fired for cause, meaning the Raiders will not pay him for the remainder of the three-year deal worth about $6 million. Kiffin's agent, Gary Uberstine, said Kiffin will talk to the commissioner.

"No one ever likes to see a dispute like that happen," Goodell said. "Mr. Davis made it very clear he didn't like it. It was clear that coach Kiffin was uncomfortable under the current circumstances.

"It's something that's unfortunate. You don't want to see it happen."

Goodell expects a grievance to be filed, but added he would not intervene in the situation until asked.

"It's a reality of our business," Goodell said. "They've moved on now. If I'm involved in some fashion, or asked to be involved or required to be involved, I will certainly fulfill my responsibility. But I don't think (there's) anything else to say other than it's an unfortunate situation."

Goodell touched on several topics during a brief news conference Sunday, including:

● Preseason. Goodell said it was "highly unlikely" the number of preseason games would be reduced for next season. He said a change would require the league to renegotiate contracts with its broadcasting partners and the players association.

● Economy. Goodell said the national financial crisis will impact the league.

"We've been talking about what I consider the economic downturn for well over a year, and making sure we're prepared for it," he said. "It affects not only the NFL, our clubs and our owners. More importantly, it affects our consumers, our fans. We're very sensitive to it."

In May, owners voted to end their labor agreement with the union in 2011. Goodell said the crisis will affect negotiations for a new one.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tony Gonzalez got his record, but not much else.

The Kansas City star broke the NFL's career mark for yards receiving by a tight end Sunday, but finished with just three catches for 17 yards in a 34-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers.

"This is a game that a lot of us probably (would) just as soon forget," Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez entered the game 3 yards shy of Shannon Sharpe's 5-year-old record of 10,060 yards. He surpassed the mark on Kansas City's second offensive series by catching a 6-yard pass from Damon Huard late in the first quarter.

The 12th-year pro and nine-time Pro Bowler has at least one reception in 120 straight games.

SAN FRANCISCO — As Steve Young listened to the Candlestick Park crowd roar at his jersey retirement ceremony, he looked at Jerry Rice and wished he was in his old No. 8 uniform instead of a suit.

"Honestly I feel like I want to play," Young said after the ceremony. "My life is sublime now and great and wonderful in many ways but you can't replace it."

Young was honored at halftime of San Francisco's game Sunday. He was introduced to the adoring crowd by his close friend and former teammate Brent Jones, who called Young a "brilliant field general" who "could destroy you with his left arm and then could turn around and destroy you as well with his legs."
