The Hottest Hot Take Ever? Boston TV Analyst Suggests Roger Goodell Should Be Murdered

In today’s sports media world, there’s been some pretty hyperbolic statements we’ve heard from TV personalities and writers that can be summed up as “hot takes.” Whether it’s been a comment from Skip Bayless or Stephen A.

But tonight we might just have the hottest “hot take” yet.

And while discussing the NFL and their treatment of the Patriots this offseason, Minihane took things very far.
