Roger Goodell was a ‘sour child,’ according to this Sudbury resident, his former babysitter
Oh, the shade.
New England football fans have long been frustrated with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his purported selfishness, power-hungriness, and arrogance. His former babysitter, now a Sudbury resident, said he might have always been like that.
In a profile/Q&A published in The MetroWest Daily News Friday, Janet Derby, 69, admitted she babysat for “the U.S. Congressman next door” — New York Republican Charles Goodell — when she lived in Washington, D.C.
Little Roger, one of five sons, was “a sour child, rarely laughing or running around like his brothers,” Derby said.
“If I had only been prescient I would have taught him that it is a sign of weakness to be overly concerned with personal power,” Derby said.
Derby has been a Sudbury resident for five years, she said, though her family has lived in Massachusetts for almost 30 years.
