Roger Goodell Reveals Home Basement for NFL Draft ... 'Usually Filled with Dolls'
8:42 AM PT -- Commish is giving an even deeper look into his draft setup ... and it's filled with wires, several tv screens and cameras.
"This will be my home for the next 3 days," Goodell says. "Can't wait. Draft Day 2020 ... much different than we ever imagined, but it's gonna be fun."
Happy Draft Day, NFL fans. Good luck to every team. A quick tour of my basement where I’ll be announcing picks for the 2020 #NFLDraft.

Wanna see what Roger Goodell's "man cave" looks like?
Great, because he's finally giving the world a glimpse into his Westchester County home ... where he'll be conducting the NFL Draft.
"We're right here in what we affectionately call in they Goodell family ... the man cave," Roger said on "Good Morning America."
Roger says he and his wife Jane Skinner have twin girls -- and the room was formerly used as a storage space for their dolls, but that's been changed for a more football-strong look.

"We've turned this into a mini studio. There will be 3 people in here with me [during the NFL Draft]."
So, what's in Roger's man cave? Some football books, football bobbleheads, old cleats, signed footballs, an American flag.
Rog says he's been testing out his Internet connection and his technology and insists "it worked pretty well last night."
There's more ... Roger was also asked if the NFL season is in danger of being canceled.
"One thing I've learned about what we're going through as a country is you can't tell a week from now, much less 3 months from now. Our job is to be ready. We'll be ready to make alternatives ... we'll be putting public safety #1 as we always do and make sure our fans, our players, everyone are able to be in a safe environment."
Translation -- who knows?!
As for the tradition of booing Goodell at the NFL Draft -- Roger says he "loves" it (yeah right!) and insists the NFL is figuring out a way to incorporate boos into the Draft broadcast.
FOOTBALL!
