Roger Goodell Has Been Absent in Foxborough
Roger Goodell was criticized for not attending the AFC Championship in Foxborough. He has not attended a Patriots game since the punishment for Deflategate was handed out. Goodell explained at his press conference that his absence was not intentional. "I was in Boston two seasons ago for two consecutive playoff games, the same way I was in Atlanta this year. So that happens. From our standpoint, this is just about making sure that we take care of business and do it the way that is right to uphold the integrity of our teams and our rules for all 32 teams. If I am invited back to Foxboro, I will come," Goodell explained in his press conference (via CBS Boston) . This explanation was less than well received in Boston. (Twitter/@NFL_Memes)
