Mike Florio, the NFL hall monitor who prides himself on knowing what is best for everyone else, was critical of the National Football League for wanting to start free agency, and subsequently the league season, on time. While other sports leagues, the NBA, NHL, NCAA, plus numerous others around the world were shutting down or suspending their respective seasons for credible reasons, commissioner Roger Goodell took a different approach and kept football open for business.
Thank goodness for independent thought. While there is plenty in Goodell’s resume to be disappointed with, even angry about, sticking to the plan and allowing free agency and the league season to begin should be a positive in a season where sports fans have been left in the dark.
