Statement made: Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia wears Goodell clown shirt

The New England Patriots never said too much about commissioner Roger Goodell, whose deflate-gate punishment was seen as unfair in that entire region. Even after the Patriots overcame all that to win a Super Bowl, they didn’t really unload months of ill will.

But Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia made quite a funny statement when he flew home from Super Bowl LI. He wore a shirt that has Goodell’s picture and a clown nose.

Hey, you knew they wouldn’t all bite their tongues forever.

Even though the Patriots winning Super Bowl LI probably eases some of the bad feelings.
