I don't even think there is a qualifying factor, wasn't Condoleeza Rice mentioned as a possible candidate? Also, Vince McMahon, and we all know how HIS prior "commissioner of a football league" tenure worked out

Please no, we don't need another Bush recking something we love. Rice and Bush need to stay in politics. Let an experienced football guy do the job.

God Help us...

I read this article today on my phone and almost yelled out loud at work. I cant even believe that they would bring his name up into the running. If Bush was to run the nfl...... Wow I dont even want to imagine what would happen. lol Cfl maybe? lol j/k Boycott BUSH from messing up something truely American. Go play baseball or something lol...

Bush might be a little busy trying to get another job....the NFL won't take the chance of being left at the alter by a candidate.

Tagliabue first became associated with the NFL when he was hired by Covington & Burling, a Washington D. C. law firm, the NFL's principal outside counsel at the time. While working for Covington & Burling represented the NFL as an attorney in important areas, including television, expansion, legislative affairs, franchise moves, labor and antitrust cases.

By 1986 Paul Tagliabue was a full partner with powerful law firm and was representing the NFL in the $1.6 billion antitrust lawsuit brought by the USFL. The NFL would lose the case, but thanks to the shrewd case presented by Tagliabue the USFL was only awarded $3. When the NFL needed to find a replacement for outgoing Commissioner Pete Rozelle, Tagliabue was a logical choice being he was already familiar with all league affairs.

So aparently our current commish landed his job because he saved the NFL some money in legal issues. Does anyone care to fill me in on why a politician would be worse off as the commish than a lawyer? It just seems to me that there are a bunch of people crying because of the chance that a "Bush" could be running the NFL. I personaly wouldnt care untill I was actually able to judge what he has done in the league. I have never voted for a Bush either.

You can never have enough bush man....





Seriously though, he has gone on record stating that he will not finish his term early which ends in january. He seemed adamant about it but you never know.

 

[ganooch]

sh*t, if he does not become the commish he can come up to NY and run for Governor. We need someone like him up here.
