Roger Goodell butchers Marcus Mariota’s name (Video)

Roger Goodell

Roger Goodell had several months to prepare for the NFL draft, yet he still somehow managed to mispronounce Marcus Mariota’s name when the Tennessee Titans selected the quarterback second overall on Thursday night.

Goodell misspoke and pronounced the Heisman Trophy winner’s last name as “Marioto” instead of “Mariota.”

It’s OK, Roger, we’ve seen much worse from the NBA commissioner.
