Paul Tagliabue is the smartest person in the world for making Roger Goodell his concussion scapegoat

Paul Tagliabue basically said, I've known about concussions forever, but I kind of don't want to be asked about this anymore. So here, Roger Goodell, you look stupid enough to take this job and have everyone come at you and hate you. And that's exactly what happened. So he's actually the smartest person in the world.

While Tagliabue did face criticism for his handling of concussions, Roger Goodell became the public face of the league's struggle with the issue. The 'smartest person' claim is subjective but has a logical basis in the perception of Goodell's role.
