Joe Horn calls Roger Goodell "The Devil"

[Mr. Scot]

Former NFL player calls Commissioner Roger Goodell 'The Devil'

"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. 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."

You might remember Joe Horn.  He's the guy who reportedly slept with teammate Willie Roaf's wife.

(quite the angel himself, ya know)

​I wondered who'd be the first to go there.

Not disappointed.

Superb owl?

But the CBA basically gives him absolute power. If Horn wants to blame someone, blame the player's association for signing off on it.

Don't be mad because you basically made Roger into Emperor Palpatine. And don't be surprised when he pulls an "Order 66" on you either and dissolves the senate. 

And yes, I try to work Star Wars into everything. It's what I doooooooo

Players should be able to do what they want to do and never get punished!

ITS A FREE COUNTRY DAMMIT!

lol...he's the CEO of a ginormous company, and he behaves the same way as the rest of them.

[bigskypanthersguy]

The Saints organization aren't squeaky clean individuals either, so a statement like that's quite amusingly ironic.

I don't think players view him as that. I think they liken him to a high school vice principal. He polices about 1700 "kids" (players) and let's them know who's boss. Right, wrong, or indifferent, I think for the most part Roger is the guy that the owners want him to be.

for some reason the first thing i thought of was flip wilson "the devil made me do it"
