NFL: Rice not interested in becoming NFL Commissioner; at least for now
KFFL Sports News Wire ^ | March 20, 2006 | Associated Press Staff

Posted on 03/20/2006 4:46:33 PM PST by no dems

The Associated Press reports secretary of state Condoleezza Rice is not applying for the newly opened post of NFL commissioner - not now, anyhow, her spokesman said carefully Monday, March 20. Rice is enjoying being secretary of state "at the moment," spokesman Sean McCormack said. The wiggle-room in his response after NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue announced he would retire resonated off frequent only half-joking statements by Rice that as a lifelong football fan she aspires to run the league one day. New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft seems to be in Rice's corner for the football post.

Just to make you jealous, I stood beside Condi for almost three hours in Austin on Election Night 2000 waiting for Dubya to come out and address the crowd after he'd been declared the victor. We were bumping arms and hips right there in the crowd, talking for hours as we tried to figure out what was going on.

She finally gave up and left around 2 am. I gave up about 30 minutes later.

Our proximity was a complete act of chance. She didn't exactly single me out to stand by. ;-)

Wait, didn't he quit, or is my memory just fuzzy? Anyone gets bonus points in my book for quitting the Bills.

... I think I just convinced myself that Mularkey is a good man.

You stinker! You are just now getting around to telling me THIS?

Oh, DG, how utterly delightful!

I want her to run for POTUS. Can you tell?

I'm pretty certain he got fired....

Let me check though. If he did quit, then I'd forgotten it.....


yep you were right. He resigned after Donohue was canned and they hired Marv Levy. My guess is that he saw the writing on the wall.

You must be a cow-boys fan.

Cut Jerry some slack. I would hardly call being on some TV shows being a sell-out.

Deon Sanders was a sell-out, Jerry Rice is capiatizing on his sucsessful career.

You wouldn't call Lynn Swann a sell out would you? There's really no difference.

She'll make a great Commissioner; I hope she gets the offer and accepts it.

And then Saban hires him, which is a gigantic middle finger to the Bills.

Suddenly I like him.

I'm no Cowboys fan. And Jerry must owe someone some money to be making so many TV appearances. But hey, he's been entertaining. Now if I may switch sports, this is what selling out truly is:
