Larry Brown Sports

There were only a few certainties entering the first round of the 2011 NFL draft: few running backs would be selected, the Patriots would trade their pick, and Roger Goodell would get booed. No surprise, all three happened. It’s only unfortunate that the Commissioner opted not to address the labor issue. This was a great chance to connect with the fans and give us some positive sentiment but instead all Goodell said was “I hear you” and “I agree with you.” Come on Rog, can’t you do better than that? At least a brief statement would have been in order, right?
