HedleyLamarr Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I'm glad Rich McKay isn't a finalist.I want to see what he, Mora Jr., and Arthur Blank can build with the Falcons over a long stretch of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korkie Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 How is this not a reality show on the NFL network yet. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."Dr. Kelso: My son is a big baseball fan. Not so much playing it, but more the designing and sewing of uniforms.Tyler: That's neat.Dr. Kelso: No, it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew22 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 How is this not a reality show on the NFL network yet. Once they get to 4 guys they will make them compete in football drills I'd watch that. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 How is this not a reality show on the NFL network yet. Actually I think it'd be a helluva thing for the NFL Network to cover. Maybe not as a reality show, but on some kind of really extensive basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 There are many reasons why NFL Network would never air or even tape such a braodcast. Even as there is a list of finalists and it is now public, current employers would not take lightly to the cameras. All of these men are pretty powerful in their own right, and probably are even more afriad about answering questions from the committee. Generally, they are the ones on the other side of the table. Public spectacles are left for the Super Bowl.Owners and other committee members would definately be caught in an unpleaseant moment with language, or Ralph Wilson would be caught napping.Shattuck's wife is a Ravens cheerleader. Not bad for 39 with 5 kids!Molly Shattuck, wife of NFL Commissioner candidate Mayo Shattuck III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for 39 with 5 kids!Molly Shattuck, wife of NFL Commissioner candidate Mayo Shattuck III I've seen many a thing on NFL Network already that I never thought I'd see, and they can edit the bejeezus out of stuff.And performing in front of a camera is part of the Commissioner's gig. If a finalist can't do so, its best that the owners know this before picking him to serve as their official representative.Owners and language? C'mon. NFLN has been doing league meetings since its inception. No worries there.And hey, Molly went to my alma mater, IUP. She must've been a senior when I started going. Woo-hoo!
