And that’s not a headline I ever thought I’d be writing. In related news, Henry Winkler does not want to be the Bears’ long snapper, and Joey Buttafuoco has no interest in defending Shaq in the lowpost.
But I guess there were reasons for the Condoleezza rumors. She’s talked in the past of her love for football and her desire to one day run the league. And with Paul Tagliabue retiring yesterday, it became a topic of conversation.
“She thinks football is the greatest sport on earth, but even if she were approached for the job — which she has not been — she would have to decline,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.
And then he added, “at the moment.” And if this administration has proven anything, it’s that you can take them at their word.
And while Clayton Bigsby doesn’t like the idea, Patriots owner Bob Kraft is behind it. “I think Condoleezza Rice would be great. I’d invest in any company she’d be running,” Kraft told reporters while attending a Boston Celtics game Monday night.
I guess it would be better to have her as commissioner of the NFL than in her current position.

$20 bucks says that if Condoleeza Rice became commissioner of the NFL, she’d end up invading Canada to rid the world of the CFL because the use of larger balls and longer fields were a threat to the security of the NFL. Then, after a swift “victory”, she’d invade Europe over their use of the term futbol, but become engaged in a protracted struggle with no discernable end in sight, then pull out, but not before making things greatly less stable, only to leave the poorly trained, poorly equipped NFL Europe to clean up the mess. But hey, practice makes perfect!

Do you think Condi is into Bondage/S&M, or a lesbian. Actually, I would bet $ she’s into Bondage and S & M. The lesbian thing is tricky b/c of the whole “conservative” deal. However, let’s not forget, (especially you Republicans out there) that SOMEONE in the White House had that Gay Male Prostitute Jeff whatever his name was, over to the White House on several occasions, AND he was issued a White House Press Pass, despite not being a member of, you know, the press.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

If that wouldn’t give the NFL the image problem it has long since deserved, I don’t know what would.
Bob Kraft sucks. The Pats suck. Although in all fairness, I’d invest in any company she ran too, mainly because of a belief that all of her competitors would mysteriously disappear within months. Dr. Rice scares me.
When did the conservatives co-opt bondage? I’m more than a little saddened to hear that one.

Condelezza Rice sounds like a Mexican name. Why don’t we send he down to Mexico and lets the Mexicans eat her.
