The all-mighty NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was paid a visit by the Eagles' mascot, Swoop, on Wednesday. And the two took a lovely picture together.

Goodell responded:
@Eagles Hey Swoop— Roger Goodell (@nflcommish) April 26, 2017
Philadelphia Eagles
Complete coverage of the Philadelphia Eagles and their NFL rivals from NBC Sports Philadelphia.
And - this is the fun part - the fans responded, too. Most fans used Twitter to boo Goodell, some used gifs, and some were very creative. Here are some of the finest:

@Eagles Can't wait to hear the shower of boos tomorrow night— Eddie Schillinger (@EdSchilly) April 26, 2017
@Eagles Swoop was suspended 5 games for putting his arm around Roger.— R F Carp (@IM_A_Carp) April 26, 2017
@Eagles @nflcommish Those socks are not regulation height. $10, 000 fine.— Rick Guy (@Rick_M_Guy) April 26, 2017
@Eagles @NFL That's about the friendliest greeting you are going to have by something in a green shirt the rest of the week— The Great Jim Duba (@thegreatjimduba) April 26, 2017
The boos won't stop here either. There has been an over/under placed on how long Goodell will be booed before announcing the first overall pick on Thursday night (see story).
