There aren't many former or current NFL players who are fans of Roger Goodell. Just take a look at all of the guys who jumped all over the NFL Commissioner last year at the height of the Ray Rice scandal. But former Saints wide receiver Joe Horn took the hatred for Goodell to another level during a recent interview with the website The Football Girl.
Horn was asked his opinion on the current state of the league. And after asking the question "Can I be honest?" he blasted Goodell with a series of criticisms and even went as far as to call him "the devil."
"I don't like what Roger Goodell is doing," Horn said. "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."
Well then. Why don't you tell us how you really feel, Joe? Ha. And all this coming from a guy who only played one season on Goodell's watch.
