There is a general theme to the beginning of all NFL draft proceedings, and it typically persists throughout the first round. The draft was in Philadelphia in The boos were even more merciless and cascading then they were in New York or Chicago.
And in , the boos were still there, but it appears ESPN did some audio engineering to tamp them down. ESPN was working hard to modulate down all the boos: pic. In , the draft boos were done virtually so we can skip that. But in with the draft back to being an in-person event, the fans in Cleveland gave the boos Goodell desires:. The tradition of booing Roger Goodell at the NFL Draft started as recently as As soon as Roger walked onstage to announce a team's draft selection, the boos began. This curious phenomenon has carried through every year without fail, despite ESPN's best efforts to quiet them by muffling audio.
On April 28, , fans in Cleveland rang in the draft with a choir of uncontained rage. Why do people boo Commissioner Roger Goodell? The answer isn't exactly clear. The commissioner is the person who takes the blame for unpopular decisions that keep the league happy, such as rule changes or contract holdouts.

The purpose of the game was to bring credibility to the NFL. After the Maroons told Carr of their intentions to play the game, discrepancies soon arose.
Pottsville claimed they had Carr's blessing, while Carr said he gave the team three separate warnings not to play the game.
Pottsville won the game, which helped boost the popularity of the league. Carr, however, took away the Maroons NFL title and gave it to the Chicago Cardinals , a franchise that still proudly holds onto that trophy today. The Maroons folded in Now Goodell's decision has replaced Carr's error in the scale of epic buffoonery of poor choices in NFL history. It comes as no shock to anyone who has followed the career of the son of a former United States Senator whose contacts with the league gave his kid a job in While the NFL career of Terrelle Pryor might not amount to much on the gridiron, he could have a long lasting impact on the league itself.
