My Little Adventure with a Roger Goodell Meme
Alright, let’s talk about this Roger Goodell meme thing. It wasn’t some grand project, just something that happened one evening. I was kicking back, maybe watching some highlights or scrolling through sports news, you know how it is. And there he was, Goodell, on the screen.
I saw this picture, maybe it was from the draft or some press conference. He had this specific look on his face. Hard to describe, kinda stiff, maybe trying to look serious but just coming off as awkward. It just struck me as funny in that particular moment. You see these guys in suits, running this massive league, and then you catch a glimpse of something just… odd.
Getting the Idea
So, this image pops up. And immediately, my brain just connects it to something else. Like, that face? That’s the face you make when you walk into a room and forget why you went in there. Or maybe the face when your wifi cuts out during something important. Just a very specific, slightly confused, maybe mildly pained expression. I figured, hey, that could be a meme.
Making the Thing
Didn’t overthink it. I grabbed my tablet, opened up a browser. Typed something simple like “Roger Goodell awkward photo” into the search bar. Scrolled for a minute or two until I found the exact picture I remembered seeing. Saved it.
Then I just looked for one of those basic meme generator sites. You know the ones, super simple, free to use.
- Uploaded the picture I just saved.
- Found the text boxes, usually top and bottom.
- Typed in a simple caption. Something relatable, like “ME TRYING TO ACT NORMAL AFTER TRIPPING IN PUBLIC“.
Pretty straightforward stuff, really. No fancy software, just point and click, type type type. Took maybe five minutes total once I had the picture.
The Result?
I looked at it. Yeah, okay, that’s kinda what I was going for. It wasn’t gonna win any awards, but it captured that goofy moment. I saved the final image. Didn’t blast it everywhere, just sent it to a couple of friends in a group chat who follow football. Got a few laughing emojis back. That was basically it.
Why bother? I don’t know, really. It’s just part of how we digest things now, I guess. Seeing these powerful figures in slightly silly situations makes them seem a bit more human, maybe? Or maybe it’s just a dumb way to get a quick laugh. It reminds me a little of how people react to politicians or big CEOs when they do something slightly off-script. It breaks the facade for a second. Anyway, that was my brief journey into making a Roger Goodell meme. Nothing earth-shattering, just messing around online.
