The Science Behind The NFL's Roger Goodell Clones

Countless Goodell clones are already milling around the Dallas area, providing a stark visual reminder of the commissioner’s presence in an attempt to keep partying players on the straight and narrow. Here are some of the clones’ most advanced features:

Scientists were forced to use sheep DNA to fill several gaps in the clones’ genomes, meaning the Goodells will grow thick will coats that an be shaved and harvested in the spring.

The Goodells’ eyes have been upgraded beyond human capabilities, allowing them to see in dingy strip club back booths and through public restroom stalls.

Through some mistake in the lab, one of the clones has huge leathery wings that enable him to take to the sky and fly around the city.

One of the clones’ heads is upside-down.

The NFL developed 8 Pursuit Goodells, with superhuman sprinting and leaping ability to chase down misbehaving players who try to escape.

Though the clones have not been taught to understand written language, they are equipped with one hundred disciplinary sheets authorizing them to give $100,000 fines to any players they spot breaking league rules.
