Hopefully, the new guy will have a last name that is easier to figure out how to pronounce simply by looking at it. I mean WTF? Tagliabue? You'd think he was the commisioner of FIFA.

Condi Rice- Will be easy to pronounce!!

Yeah. She'd be perfect.

 

[VIPERS-PIT]

She has said that is the job she wants and it would be great for the NFL.

 

[GaryPen]

It would? In what way? (I can't wait to hear this.)

 

[dragon002]

be nice gary,,,,,,LOL

Well she has better experience dealing with "rough" people (IE the UN). She has an awesome public persona and has proven herself to handle difficult situations well. I see no downside to this for the NFL. Plus for the liberals out there keeping score on these things she fills 2 minority slots.

"...as long as the president of the United States will have me."

That's so cute. Maybe he'll carry her books after the national security briefing.

Secretary of State is a slightly more important job...

 

[VIPERS-PIT]

yes but she had said for a long time she wanted the job.
