It Should Be Principal Roger Goodell
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell‘s recent $250,000 fine against Tennessee Titans Owner Bud Adams isn’t that surprising as much as it is disappointing. You’d think an 86-year-old public figure would know not to repeatedly flip off his opponents in this day and age of technology, but knowing and caring are two different things. Adams is just the latest bad boy from the NFL. From excessive celebration on the field to felony convictions off the field, Goodell’s In Box must be stacked with violations just waiting for his signature. It’s not like the rules of the game aren’t written down somewhere. So when grown men act like children, treat them like children. That’s why I propose changing Goodell’s title from Commissioner to Principal. Remember, aging is inevitable; growing up is optional; and misbehavior gets you sent to the Principal’s Office. Two cups of coffee for you, Roger Goodell, as this week’s Virtual Cup of Joe recipient.
