Could Jeb Bush be the next NFL commissioner?

[napi21]

Oh dear God! What's wrong with this world? What the hell does Jeb have to do the with NFL?

This was just from Wolfe on the Situation Room! Oh maan, don't take my football away from me!!!!!

1. even asking that question lends an air of credibility to it!

[SeattleGirl]

2. I'd rather have Jeb screw up football than the country

(And I'm a big football fan)

[William769]

4. Amen to that sister!

[madinmaryland]

9. I just want them to go away.

Maybe they could be alligator catchers in FL..

[Initech]

10. Excellent point!

We already have his dumbass brother (and his equally clueless father before that) to do that.

3. He'd make a great tackling dummy. He must weigh 375 pounds.

Seen any of his pix lately?

[Botany]

5. As a Cleveland Browns fan the NFL has already fallen out of favor with me

If Jeb is the Commissioner then I am done w/ NFL.

21. can't blv you guys stole that center out from under us

[NC_Nurse]

6. Great!

Just get him out of politics!

[napi21]

7. Yea, but can't he go into maybe Halliburton or something?

I know, I don't want him in politics either, but I jsut want to see the whole Bush family fade into oblivion!

[NC_Nurse]

8. We need him where we can keep an eye on him

Those Bushies need to be in fulll view - and hopefully in completely figurehead positions. I don't want them pulling the strings from behind the curtain!

11. Better than a run for Senate or Pres.

Let the NFL have him.

[Priorities in Order]

Keep Jeb away from the NFL

I don't want to see the Dolphins and Bucs in the Superbowl every year after he riggs the playoffs.

12. What's with these commissioner gigs, anyway?

What makes this guy suited for that type of position--I know, I know, what made him "suitable" for elective office, other than the family wealth.

13. If only this had happened with George.

I read an article where George W was waiting to become ML Baseball commissioner. It was the job he really wanted.
When he didn't hear back from the acting commish at the time, he decided to run for Governor of Texas. If only he was screwing up baseball instead of the world. I think the NFL would be a peachy place for Jeb. I sincerely wish him luck.

20. Hi Thorn!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[CoffeeCat]

14. I'd rather have him out of politics...BUT...

I would guess that their strategy is to run Jeb for pResident--someday.

Let's face it--NFL Commissioner is a cool job. A man's job. He'd be
high profile and connected to an all-American sport.

Putting him in the private sector for a while--in a cool job--could help
people forget that his family is evil and that his brother was the worst
political leader ever to grace the solar system.

They're going to run him. No doubt. They're re-defining him, positioning
him as an interesting guy and giving him a successful, cool identity that
distinguishes him from his loser, good-for-nothing brother.

Maybe they'll make Junior the water boy.

15. NFL figures/players/owners

all share that republican love......Sounds reasonable to me.

[Gloria]

16. But then, what does Condi do?? Run for Prez??

ICKY. Both of them.

[Rex]

17. Well someone needs to stop those terrorist helping wardrobe malfunctions!

[adriennui]

18. fine with me

get him out of government! he won't do as much harm

[Lefty48197]

19. I nominate Bud Selig

as much stupid stuff that he does, he still wouldn't screw things up as much as a Bush family member would.
