Roger Goodell flubs Marcus Mariota’s name
You had one job, sir.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who has had a bit of a rough year, entered the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago with a card holding the Tennessee Titans’ pick in his hand. It wasn’t like the name on that card was a surprise; we’d been hearing about Marcus Mariota as a top NFL prospect for months.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football is back: Sign up for a league today!]
And yet, and yet … when Goodell announced the pick, it was “Marcus Mariato.”
So either he flubbed the name or some dude somewhere named Marcus Mariato just got pressed into quarterback service. (Which would be just great.)
Ah, well. If this is the worst thing that happens to Goodell THIS year, we’re sure he’ll take it.
