The Commish Becomes ‘Captain Obvious’

Several news outlets, including ESPN.com, quoted NFL commissioner Roger Goodell calling rookie salaries “ridiculous.” Case in point being Jake Long’s $30 million guaranteed before the kids sips water on the sideline.

Lorenzo Neal and the Kingdom of the Glass Ceiling
