Roger Goodell gifts Eli Apple's mom with brownies
New York Giants cornerback Eli Apple's mom continues to make news in the wake of her son's first round selection in the NFL Draft.
Commissioner Roger Goodell decided to make good on the lack of desserts available to families at draft festivities in Chicago, sending the Apples some brownies after Annie called him out.
"There was a wonderful welcome reception for the family, though whomever planned the event forgot to include desserts," Annie wrote in a Sports Illustrated piece. "This is what happens when skinny women rule the world: they forget the chocolate. Clearly the commissioner owes me a brownie."
The NFL sent along an email to let the Apples know about the sweet package they'd be receiving.
"Just a head's up to be on the lookout for a delivery of brownies today," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy wrote in the message, according to ESPN. "The Commissioner was aware of Annie's disappointment in the lack of desserts at the Draft in Chicago and wanted to make up for it.
"We've enjoyed reading and watching Annie as she becomes a media star. Hope you all have a good Mother's Day Weekend."
