NEW YORK -- NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Monday his league will "take a fresh look" at its domestic violence procedures in the wake of the NFLs rash of incidents. Denver Broncos Jerseys . Silver said during a community service event in Staten Island that the league has been discussing with the NBA Players Association ways to further educate players and provide programs to them and their families. "We learn from other leagues experiences," Silver said. "Were studying everything thats been happening in the NFL. Were working with our players association. Weve been talking for several weeks and were going to take a fresh look at everything we do." The NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell have been criticized for punishments that were too slow or lenient for Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and other players involved in recent domestic violence cases. Goodell said last week the NFL wants to implement new personal conduct policies by the Super Bowl. The NBAs collective bargaining agreement calls for a minimum 10-game suspension for a first offence of a player convicted of a violent felony. "We have in place the appropriate mechanisms for discipline, although well take a fresh look at those as well," Silver said. "But most importantly, its education, and its not just the players, but its the players families. Thats what were learning, too. "We have to take these programs directly to the players spouses, directly to their partners so that theyre aware of places they can go to express concerns, whether theyre anonymous hotlines, team executives, league executives. And were consulting experts. Theres a lot to be learned here. Its a societal problem; its not one thats unique to sports." Silver spoke at the opening of a refurbished Staten Island playground and basketball court in an area damaged by Hurricane Sandy. He was joined by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Knicks and Nets officials in announcing community efforts throughout New York, which will host the 2015 All-Star weekend. Silver said the goal of the programs is to directly reach 500,000 children. New union executive director Michele Roberts also took part in what was her first official day in her new position. However, Silver said discussions with her started before Monday. "We do have in place, unlike the NFL, a penalty scale, and to the extent it needs any tweaking, then well talk about tweaking it," Roberts said. "What I hope were going to do as well is figure out ways to prevent any occurrence like that on our side. Its one thing to know how to react in the event it happens; its a lot smarter to try to make sure it doesnt happen in the first instance." Silver noted that the NBA has had its own difficulties with issues off the court, saying the aftermath of former Clippers owner Donald Sterlings racist remarks means "everyone understands the high standard that we are living under now in the NBA." The NFLs issues just accelerated the need to look for improvements. "Its been going on, but the whole world is focused right now on whats happening around the NFL," Silver said, "so itd be foolish for us not to try to learn from everything thats happening with that league as well."

"Ill probably drink one and go to sleep," the Australian veteran said.

GLENVIEW, Ill. -- Tom Lehman opened a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Champions Tours Encompass Championship, shooting a bogey-free 6-under 66 before play was suspended because of a thunderstorm. Lehman had a 13-under 131 total at North Shore Country Club, playing the first 36 holes without a bogey. The 55-year-old Minnesotan won the last of his seven senior titles in 2012. "Its been a while since I had one bogey-free round, and to do two in a row is special," Lehman said. "I havent missed many putts inside 6 feet. If you were to rate whether Im making the most of my opportunities, I think youd say Im doing pretty well." The 1996 British Open winner chipped in from 20 feet for a birdie and made five putts, the longest from 7 feet, for his other birdies. "I had kind of a junky lie but it played like a little bunker shot," Lehman said about the birdie chip on the par-4 13th. "I hit a good second shot and the wind carried it just a bit. It would have been a shame to make a bogey." Thirty-one players were unable to finish the rounnd. Jared Veldheer Jersey. Kirk Triplett, John Inman, Roger Chapman and Bart Bryant were 10 under. Triplett and Inman shot 67, Chapman had a 68, and Bryant had two holes left when play was washed out for the day. Bryant was 5 under for the day. Triplett hit 14 greens, one-putted seven of them and chipped in for birdie on another. "There are plenty of birdie chances here," Triplett said about North Shore, hit by hard rain early in the week and another shower Saturday. "The greens are not going to firm up." Inman advanced to the quarterfinals in the 1983 U.S. Amateur at North Shore. "I came out here and I didnt remember a hole," Inman said. Michael Allen was four strokes back at 9 under, also with two holes left. Colin Montgomerie, the Senior PGA Championship winner in his last tour start, was 5 under for the day and 8 under overall with two holes left. Charles Schwab Cup points leader Bernhard Langer was 5 under with five holes to play. Defending champion Craig Stadler was 1 over with two holes remaining.
