Ballerific Sports: Joe Horn Calls Roger Goodell “The Devil”

Since his start as commissioner, many have had their reservations, likes, and dislikes regarding Roger Goodell on the PG13 side. Well that can’t be said for Former NFL receiver Joe Horn who expressed one of the strongest opinions of commissioner Roger Goodell. Horn was quoted calling Goodell “the devil” and saying he doesn’t like to see rookies hugging Goodell on the stage during the NFL draft.

Via ESPN:

“Here’s what I don’t like. I don’t like what Roger Goodell is doing. He has so much power that he can almost shut people down. I just don’t like him,” said Horn, who went into his rant on Goodell when asked for his thoughts on the current state of the NFL.

“And I don’t like that on draft day these kids don’t know that they’re hugging the devil. I hate to see kids that are lost and then happy but they really don’t know that the man they’re hugging will rip their throat apart. If he has an opportunity to take money from them, or there’s a situation where they’re guilty before they go to court, he’ll rip them apart. And there’s nothing no one can do about it. If the owners are happy with Roger Goodell, the fans, the media, no one can take his job from him. I hate it.”

well it’s a good thing Horn isn’t still playing cause I’m pretty sure fines would be raining down on him amongst harsher punishments right about now. On the other hand, in some instances I feel Gooodell means well but sometimes acts to quickly. Your thought???
