Joe Horn calls Roger Goodell "The Devil"

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)

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

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

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.

    • Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.
    • I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
