The owner business is something of a bogeyman. You ought to see the Dallas Cowboy BBs about how stupid Jerry Jones is (who has more Super Bowl rings than any other owner alive except Kraft). Even Bob Kraft was a dunce before he got lucky with Belichek and Brady. Lions, Cardinals, SF fans all think their owners suck. The only fans who don't take this point of view is when owners like little Danny Snyder spend money like he's the UN in a Third World country. They used to complain about PHX Suns owner Jerry Colangelo---who managed to get the team to the NBA finals twice in 25 years, but was in the playoffs almost every year, often in the conference championships.

I'm more of a blame the players and coaches guy.

Larry, nobody -- n-o-b-o-d-y -- here in DC was happy with Danny Boy, no matter how much money he spent on Lavar, Coles, Deion, Bruce Smith... and all the other disasters. The farce was self-evident from day one.

The only reason anyone is tolerating Danny Boy this year is not because of Gibbs but because some genuis in marketing finally figured out that the best way to salvage his public image is to hide him under a tarp. Not a word from the bastard all year.

In post 6 I mentioned I didn't like Haslett. I didn't care for the Dikta (sp?) selection as a coach a few years back. Basically the Saints need anther Jim Finks. Unfortunately they're few and far between.

Heck if I was Benson I'd keep Haslett simply because I'd know I couldn't get anybody worth anything. I solve my Saint problems by not watching the 2 half. Better on my blood pressure.

Me, too. Speaking of the Cowboys, what's your over/under on whether or not Parcells stays?
