National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell, whose only job for the past 11 years has been to be a football person, said Thursday he is not a football person, Deadspin reports.
The head-scratching comments came in conversation on FS1's First Things First. Goodell was answering a question about whether he believes Colin Kaepernick should play in the NFL: "I'm not a football expert," the boss of America's top professional football league said in response. Goodell added that while he is a "huge fan" of the sport (one would hope!), he lets "football people make those decisions."
Of the abundant lingering questions after this statement, one rises above them all: If Roger Goodell is not a "football person," who is? Watch the comments below. Jeva Lange
