ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/George-Paton-sticking-with-Vikings.html The Minnesota Vikings announced on their Web site that George Paton has been promoted to assistant general manager. You would think that with all his military command experience, a guy like George Paton would be a candidate for the top managerial job, not just an assistant. I guess he's still paying for slapping that cowardly but hospitalized grunt level soldier. Buddy Nix can't be too many years from retirement - - maybe we could lure Paton away from the Vikings then by offering him the top job (assuming he doesn't slap any players on IR in the interim for being unwilling to play "hurt") - - I would think that would be an offer he might be interested in. Wonder if he's still got the pearl-handled revolvers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I heard Paton is kinda stiff and doesn't really talk much, probably why he's just an assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I heard Paton is kinda stiff and doesn't really talk much, probably why he's just an assistant. Sounds like Ralph's kinda guy, no? But if you prefer somebody who communicates better, maybe Norman Schwarzkopf is available. He always seemed like a good communicator when he was doing those Desert Storm briefings. And if the Patriots start up with the videotape cheating again, maybe he could use his NSA contacts to level the playing field.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Maybe if Paton's not interested in the job they could get the man who portrayed him in the film… George C. Scott. Think of the inspirational speeches he made in movies such as Patton and Taps. He could really fire up the troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
