The league is open to conducting interviews outside of its New York City office.Harrison said he expects the questions to be limited to the contents of the report and said he doesnt know whatever evidence they think they may have.The league cleared recently retired quarterback?Peyton Manning, who was a central figure in the report, shortly after interviewing him.Harrison, who called Goodell a dictator, puppet and other names in a 2011 Mens Journal interview, originally said he wanted the commissioner to conduct the interview at Harrisons house.Hell have to settle for lunch with investigators, an experience he hopes goes viral.Ive been prosecuted, persecuted in the media by them, for something I didnt do, Harrison said.
