Quote:What does being a billionaire have to do with knowing football or making crucial football personnel decisions ? Nothing. Anchorman is right. I don't care if he earned it or his daddy gave it to him.  That is why smart Billionaires hire managers,or consultants, they know their limitations. Put Bill Gates in a football pool and he isn't better than Joe the plumber, so why should fans automatically think an owner's decisions are correct? They can be wrong. History has shown they are often wrong. A self made Billionaire hired Gene Smith.

 

Ouch, that was a cold hard "slap in the face" fact.

 

What even made it worse was the fact that the same self made billionaire also gave Gene Smith a 3 year extension right before he sold the team to Shad Khan. Double OUCH!!!!!!

 

At least Shad did what he had to do and let him go, which does give me some solace that he is going to do the same thing with Gus, although it won't be until at least some time next year, probably after the season unless Gus gets off to one of his usual really poor starts and goes 0-6, 1-5, maybe 2 -7 or something like that.
