NorthWesternBill Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 OK first this: "Rice says she is a deeply religious woman from the South who believes in democracy and football. In fact, she loves the sport so much, she used to work out with the Stanford football team and has said she would like to be the NFL commissioner someday. " cnn.com Then this: "SMILEY: All right. So, OK, if not governor of California in a couple of years, how are your plans coming for your role as NFL commissioner? " "Dr. RICE: I'm still waiting. Now I told Paul Tagliabue I didn't want the job till he retired, so I'm willing to wait. " The Tavis Smiley Show: June 13, 2003 So, if she becomes the commissioner... this is a sure sign they will be dropping bombs on the CBA in six years... (HA?)

The Senator Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I could see the post going to someone like ex-Bill Jack Kemp, who always ran the Bills' offense on the 'Supply-Side Theory'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantankerous Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Very interesting Nate, very interesting. I don't know a whole lot about her but i'm sure she's as sharp as a razor. Guess we'll have to wait til the end of July to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find your Clinton comment kind of patronizing, and revealing...all I have seen from her, time and again, like the "dud", is that she is clueless, or as dishonest as anyone else in that administration. Hardly the "shining star" that they keep telling us she is....but I can live with her as commissioner of the NFL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 "revealing"? revealing what? Is Cindy Sheehan is your hero? 636684[/snapback] Okay, Nod, tell me, dazzle me with your acumen. What has Condi done, beyond all the PR BS, that impresses you so much? She is obviously intelligent..big deal! A lot of politicians are intelligent. I just haven't seen any of this incredible integrity on display anywhere. She would be fine as NFL commissioner...not much of a transition going from one mega corporation to another... Again, criticize Condi Rice, and you must automatically idolize Cindy Sheehan? Or be a blind Clinton fanatic? I think she stands on her own merits, as being mediocre...which is about as nice a thing as I can say about anyone of Bushs' cabinet, but is not saying much as a whole....

NorthWesternBill Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Ok so we all have diffrent opinions on her as far as the US gov't goes... BUT the real thoughts that should be provoked include ; Is she capable? Is a security advisor more qualified than a lawyer? Would more women in this country start to love football? (or hate it less!!?) To me this would solidify that her gender/ race had nothing to do with the hiring and we can do away with affirmative action...

Has been a huge football fan for many years. As to whether she has enough inside knowledge of the league? Who knows? Probably nowhere near as much as someone with years of football only experience. But I don't see that as a disqualifier. Would be happier with more high level business experience. But, all in all, don't see why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of BiB Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Who all is being talked about, anyway? It's no secret that that is Condi's dream job, but I imagine they'll fill it before the next couple years are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
