Saints TE Benjamin Watson Calls Out Roger Goodell for Silence on NFC Championship Controversy

New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson is not retiring without having his thoughts on the NFC Championship game's controversy heard.

Watson, who played the final game of his 15-year career last week, called out to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his silence on the game's crucial no-call on Thursday.

"Commissioner Goodell. We all realize that football is an imperfect game, played, coached and officiated by imperfect people," Watson wrote on Twitter. "What occurred last Sunday in New Orleans though, was outside of that expected and accepted norm. Your continued silence on this matter is unbecoming of the position you hold, detrimental to the integrity of the game and disrespectful and dismissive to football fans everywhere.
