Roger Goodell looks like he’s about to fall asleep during the 2020 NFL Draft
By John Buhler
Roger Goodell is either like all of us in that he’s tired from the second day of the 2020 NFL Draft or he is a cyborg who needs his batteries changed.
Roger Goodell has been a star throughout the unprecedented 2020 NFL Draft.
He’s swapped out his suit for a sweater. He’s looked like he’s had a cocktail too many. He’s dominated some candy. And now, he’s about to fall asleep during a live draft show. Goodell is either as tired as all of us or the NFL commissioner cyborg needs to have his batteries changed.
Poor Rog just needs a blanket and a warm fire and he’s out for the count.

Goodell is every single one of us right now.

We’re not even halfway through the NFL Draft, as we have four more rounds worth of excitement ahead of us on Saturday afternoon. Players that are taken on day two should become starters and many of them will end up being Pro Bowlers. But you know, it’s getting late and we’re all yawning like every three seconds. We get it, man. We’re tired, too.
If Goodell does the entire day three of the draft in sweatpants and a sweatshirt that has seen better days, we really wouldn’t blame him. When was the last time you dressed yourself up these last few weeks anyway? For some of us, it’s about not wearing pants. For others, combing one’s hair is a task not worth doing. Who cares if you wear the same clothes four days in a row?
As Goodell sinks deeper and deeper into his leather armchair, we get increasingly tired by the second. His basement in Bronxville looks like a pretty cool setup and a place you wish your den looked like. It might be a special place to him, but he’s basically living down there for the last few days and he’s got to be dressed up to stay down there. Come on! That’s some rough stuff.

So if Goodell falls asleep before the end of the compensatory part of the third round, he’s just like your dad who routinely falls asleep in his recliner watching ball games. Sports will be back one day soon, but you can always find time to fall asleep in your favorite chair or on your favorite sofa. Stay awake, Rog. You’ve only got a few more minutes of this. You got this, commish!
