I wonder where former Piston's owner would have placed on the list if he was still alive? Ilitch's and ford's placement on their respective lists doesn't surprise me. I will say one thing in the defense of Ford. Spending money has never been the problem here. He has over-payed many an undeserving player and manager. He has built a world class stadium and related facilities, and is loyal to a fault to his employees. He just wouldn't know a "football" man if he kicked ford in the backside. I don't question his will to win, I just question his judgement of management candidates. He needs to follow Ilitch's and Davidson's lead in letting professional people run his franchise, and then staying in the owner's box, with his mouth shut.
Way to bash a dead guy Salsa.
Didn't know he was dead...AND because he passed away, he is no longer cheap?
Crawl space - outhouse. Wasn't much of a difference on that job. I had a picture of my wife , youngest son and I, before that. My wife wasn't very happy about it. That wasn't a very wide hole, and the crawl space was a total sh**hole. Hey, gotta do what you gotta do, to get paid.

Cheap, no. Dead, yes.
It is hard to spend money worse than the Knicks have. Two years ago, they somehow managed to have a $120 million payroll in a sport with a $60 million salary cap yet still had one of the worst records in the league.
You put more effort into crawling through that hole than the Lions did last season.

You got that right! LOL!
Not necessarily. Maybe his inheritants are spending his money now...If he is dead, doesn't he become even cheaper?
Not necessarily. Maybe his inheritants are spending his money now...
BUT....HE, is not spending it....OTHERS are...so technically speaking, since HE ain't spending it...he is STILL cheap....LOL!
You know the old saying, "You can't take it with you"...
I bet he WANTED to take it with him. I wonder if the cats or the dogs got the inheritance...ala Leona Helmsly ?
