Rightly or wrongly, Philadelphia has a reputation for having the rowdiest, most outspoken fans of any major city in the country.

So when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell took the stage to open up the NFL Draft on Thursday, he was predictably booed by the thousands gathered in the City of Brotherly Love to watch the draft live.

Only this time, the intensity of the boos coming from Philly was celebrated by fans across the country. After all, the one thing that unites every fan in the league (and possible the only thing that could bring Eagles and Cowboys fans together) is a shared dislike of the handsomely-paid Goodell.
