FLOWERY BRANCH | Falcons receiver blasts NFL Commissioner's salary | News

ATLANTA -- He's one of the most potent weapons in the Atlanta Falcons' offense and one of the team's highest-paid players.

But Falcons wide receiver Roddy White is making headlines this week not for his on-the-field performance, but for some off-the-field comments, blasting league commissioner Roger Goodell.

In a barrage of tweets, White questioned Goodell's $20 million salary, writing, "How in the hell can you pay a man this much money who can't run, tackle or catch?"

White then followed up with, "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. The players make this league. Don't ever forget that."

And finally, when asked if he thought he might be fined for criticizing Goodell, White tweeted, "I hope not. I'm praying not. I need my money."
