Philadelphia really doesn’t like Roger Goodell

Embrace the villain role, Mr. Goodell. It’s there for the taking and you might as well roll with it. We’re not sure what people expected when the NFL decided to host the 2017 draft in Philadelphia.

Goodell is not a liked man around the football world, especially among fans. Add in the MO of the Philadelphia fan base, and that was obviously going to be taken to a whole new level.

But this was bad. Really, really bad.

“Come on Philly, come on.”

That’s awesome of Goodell. He knew what he was in store for and embraced it. Overall, Philadelphia did a tremendous job hosting the annual event. There were certainly some awesome moments, especially when former Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski acted a human shield for the commish.

Maybe this will be Goodell’s next act. Embracing that he’s vilified and just going with it. At this point, why the heck not?
