30 replacements for Roger Goodell

21. Will Smith
Actor/rapper Will Smith still may not get the irony of playing both a late professional boxer and a concussion doctor on the silver screen, but being into those two movies has 100 percent made Smith an expert on head trauma. He knows as much about concussions as Gisele Bundchen, but not as much on climate change.
Smith can definitely emcee the NFL Draft and hand out the Lombardi Trophy at season’s end. Would he make the event entirely about himself? Of course, that’s part of living live Big Willie Style. It’s not quite living your life for Harambe, but it could might be the next best thing.
The amount of a-has and whats that will be uttered by Commissioner Smith during on-air interviews would make for some pretty, pretty, pretty swell drinking games for the folks living the American dream in college. Keep living the dream and don’t graduate. Real life is about as fun as Willenium was to listen to.
The players would love playing for commissioner Smith, but the owners and coaches would absolutely hate him. Smith would orchestrate a collective bargaining agreement that will eliminate practices and basically turn the NFL into a glorified pillow fight. Middle America would stop watching the NFL all together, but the photo ops with one of the Men in Black would be totally worth it for the shield.
