You really liked Rosenbloom's blog entry?

Maybe it’s too late in the night for me.

Yeah, I liked it.

Better than I thought it'd be.

Not great but not bad either.

Am I the only one who has absolutely no desire

to read a book by McCaskey?

How about...

if he changed the title to “My 5 Step Program to Sell the The Bears to Better Owners”?

Then I would buy it

and send it to Mark Cuban.

I'd love to see the McCaskeys sell too, but not to Cuban...

I see him being a reincarnation of Snyder in Washington and Jones in Dallas. He would be too hands-on and would put us in the same category as those numbnuts. Please don’t tell me about Jones’ Super Bowl wins, because those were directly due to Jimmie Johnson’s influence, as soon as Jones became “the man”, they’ve sucked just like the Redskins. I’d love to see a group with a real Football guy heading it up or a corporate owner with the deep pockets and smart enough to hire people who really know the business.

I have the same concern too.

However, I’m thinking that since he lives in Dallas and is so involved with them, that he may not have the time or desire to involve himself in the day-to-day business of another team. I agree with you completely on the Jones thing. He wanted to show everyone so badly that he was the genius that he completely destroyed what he had, and he continues to do so to this day. I can see him one day turning into another Al Davis, just with more money. Although to Davis’s credit, he at least knew what he was doing when he was younger. He just refuses to accept that he’s not the same guy, and it’s not the same game as it was 20 years ago.

I see your point on Cuban living in Dallas

he just strikes me as having too much ego to allow himself to sit back, especially if he owned one of the flagship franchises in all of sports.

Completely agree with you on Davis, it’s too bad he can’t accept the fact that he’s lost it and just fade away into the sunset.

Exactly. I have no love for the Raiders whatsoever

but it’s still painful to watch a once-great franchise be destroyed from top to bottom. Even if he lost the team tomorrow, it could take years to turn that thing around. What’s really amazing is hearing Raider fans constantly defend him and proclaim that he’s still a brilliant personnel guy.

Really unfortunately that it's that way

but no. You’re not the only one.

If Favre asked to have his way with Telander..

He would say yes. By that I mean have Telander take him out to dinner of course.

Sick to death of the man love for Favre

I mean, please – they just can’t help themselves, can they?
