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.

Considering that was his first post in a month and before that there was a gap of nearly 6 months between posts, he's a hit and run troll....

we won't get a response. He can't back it up.

That's a great idea. That makes almost much sense as saying that T.O. is going to put on a Cowboys uniform next season, Oh Boy!!! What a laugh...huh, they did what? No!
That guy who sold me this stuff said that it was good, but whoa!!! Are you gonna tell me next that Kenny never really died?

Ah... the insults from a poster who must have a gun pointed at his head forcing him to this thread. Get lost.

I know it's become one of those little things Freepibs thank they can get away with nowadays: ad-hack-a-tacks (rapid fire now, ten in a row, just shoot, fire anywhere, just blanks, all empty -like between the eardrums of empty souls). Why are you all posting? Some believe this is a conservative BB. I said the person you're cheerleading for lacks the credentials for either of the aforementioned positions. Why of all the people in the US do you two believe she's the most qualified for those jobs?

Well, besides the fact that giving "dittos" to your own post is kind of odd, I'd say the burden of proof for your accusation that she's not qualified lies on you.

I'd be willing to bet that she's more educated than you or any of her potential opponents.

She's clearly been in the public arena for awhile. We know how she performs under intense scrutiny from hostile television hosts.

We know how she feels about the world and America's role in it.

We know she is graceful yet forceful.

What exactly makes her unqualified?

You said she's not even qualified for the stupid position of NFL Commissioner.

Can she be your janitor?

Oh man if that's the best you can do, then forget it. You're not even a player. Never mind on your posts.

Thanks dubya. I saw this article on Yahoo. The NFL could do a lot worse than Condi for a commish. (In fact, I'd say they have for some time.) But I hope that she will be in a more important position before too long.

Of course, there are probably some here who would object to her being NFL commish because of her purported pro-choice position.
