Roger Goodell had an odd quote about the Laremy Tunsil video

So you watched Laremy Tunsil's life unfold in real time on social media, on TV and in the green room (hack, wheeze) on Thursday night, and the NFL won because of it.

It was the most exciting, bonkers and confusing first round in recent memory. Tunsil's social media disaster was a big reason for it.

What did Roger Goodell think of all this, watching the draft unfold from his holy chambers in Draft Heights? Here's an interesting quote, via ESPN, from Goodell on Friday morning:

"I think it's all part of what makes the draft so exciting. Clubs make decisions. Sometimes they take risks. Sometimes they do the right things. Sometimes they don't, and we'll see. Hopefully he is going to turn our to be a great young player."

The thing is, he's not wrong. We live for the unexpected moments, the big slides and the WTF moments. It does make the draft exciting. Tunstil was all anyone wanted to talk about on social media.

Even still, we're not sure Goodell should be saying this here. Where's the empathy for a 20-year-old kid who was digitally ambushed by someone will sinister motives?

Others, like ESPN's Jim Trotter, agree with us.

There's no doubt about it: Tunsil was sloppy. He smoked pot in a World War II-like gas mask and recorded it to video. And he didn't erase it. For that misstep, whether it happened two years ago or earlier on draft day, he deserves to be called out for clear and unenviable stupidity.

But Goodell almost seems to be rooting for players' stupidity here. It feels very strange for the commissioner to be saying, in essence, "the NFL wins again!" but also that verbal finger wag that Goodell has become so good at unleashing.

Tunsil stands to lose as much as $10 million for his fall. Of course, to Goodell that was his post-tax quarterly income for last winter. Not a huge deal.
