Black Monday

[pbmax]

Brzezinski is the cap guy, Spielman is the primary draft guy - I think. Not sure anyone really knows. This is probably a decent move for the Vikings, they really need a defined GM.

Hey superfan, how are you? ESPNFCNORTHBLOGGER Kevin Seifert remembers it like you do:

Though in the original Triangle of Authority, it was personnel guy Fran Foley before they found out he minored in fiction in college.

Seifert gets at the gist of the issue, is it a title change or an authority change? Wilf and Frazier both seemed to indicate that Spielman will have final roster authority, taking away a piece of Frazier/Childress' power. But he does not seem to have the authority to hire and fire the coach yet. So, almost a GM. But no more McNabbs.

John Clayton thinks Sherman is in the running in other Florida HC jobs. So either he gets an interview in Miami or at FSU.

Buts its not an exciting Black Monday unless Jerry and Danny dump someone with a ton of money and years left on their contract.

I forgot about Foley with the Vikings. Maybe they should stick with the Triangle of Authority and go with Foley, Angelo, and Matt Millen. That would be outstanding.

No way Jerry was going to dump Garrett. Jerry doesn't admit he hired the wrong guy that quickly. Actually, I don't know if Jerry is bad at hiring coaches. The problem may be that he keeps sticking his coaches with a bad GM.

Mike Sherman and Jerry Gray to interview with the Bucs. Wonder if Mike will allow Sapp to come back for alumni night?

Now that would be a late Christmas gift for Packer fans.

Wow....I just heard P. Manning may join his brother in NY. How much cash do the Jets have tied up in Dirty Sanchez...? Could he sit for a year or two while Manning takes the helm?

[gbgary]

that would be a good move for nyj. get what they can for sanchez and cut bait.

This is a great thread! I just read the last few pages and now I know all the shit that went down.

I think the Colts will draft Luck regardless. Maybe while observing the Packers success they saw what sitting a rookie QB down for a few years does. If Manning has a bullet or two left it would work out perfect.

He was brought into the league by Al Davis. The resemblance is amazing, don't you think?

Agreed and one must think this since they have retained Caldwell till now.

Well, that would be one way to get him off of MNF.

I listened a bit to 670 the score out of chicago today. (I was stuck driving thru that god forsaken state!) sounds like there has been alot of clammoring for Polin (from the colts) or Reggie Mckenzie (from GB) as the next GM of chicago, with possibly tom clements as the OC.
