Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2003 Bidwell- Moved the team from St. Louis to Arizona, hasn't had a 10 win season since the Ford Presidency. Not popular with the locals in Arizona. Still grumbles about moving the team to Los Angeles. You'd think that since his family has owned the team since the depression, that maybe he'd know how to have a winning team someday. Modell- Moved the Browns to Baltimore, fired Paul Brown. Cleveland still really hates him. M. Brown- Refuses to hire a GM, proof that football knowledge isn't inherited, hired Dave Shula as a Head Coach. Brown will likely hire an assistant or somebody lousy to coach the Bengals to another first pick in 2004. Irsay- Apologies if this seems a bit off, I have alot of ranting on Bob Irsay, who after research, is dead. But the 'Colts moving to LA' part is the work of Jim Irsay. "Gigantic horse's ass. Traded Elway as quickly as he could without consulting anybody. Hell, he WAS the reason why Elway didn't want to be a Colt. He moved the team in the middle of the night without telling anybody. He wants to move the Colts again to Los Angeles (I wonder if he can get the vans from Indiana to LA before anybody notices). Said he'd sell the Colts name to Modell's Baltimore team for at least 25 million dollars." How the Colts and Ravens don't get to play every year is a sad loss for the four-team division, since the North is the "Browns and three teams that Browns fans hate" division Adams- Fired head coaches easily such as Jerry Glanville, Bum Phillps (after Bum got to the playoffs). Got into a fistfight after Al Davis became AFL commish. Moved the Oilers to Tennessee. Still won't give up the Oilers name (I'd assume Bud owns it). This is one posters opinion but I can't wait for the days when Houston just murders Bud's team in Reliant Stadium. Other- I'm sure I missed somebody. I took out William Ford for lack of evidence (but he didn't screw up and force Barry to retire, did he?). I also omitted Snyder (Who is a dick for renaming J.K. Cooke Stadium for money) for lack of experience, and Jerry Jones since he was able to win a few superbowls, and that bastard Al Davis, due to his success with the Raiders. So, rant away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2003 Bud Adams was my last addition, I just remembered him and being a Houston Oiler sympathizer and reading up on him. Bud is an enormous jackass. It was research into Elway and the Colts that got me to realize that while Elway was a total bastard for saying he'd play baseball instead of play for the team that drafted him, he did have a valid point if he stayed away because of Irsay. I still loathe Elway though. I couldn't remember too much about Modell, I just know Clevelanders would want him on the list. That just reminds me how good the AFC North is. Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore. Rivalries abound. Even better than the days of the AFC Central with coaches Noll, Glanville, Wyche and Schottenheimer where the rumor is that there were so many grudges between them, they never did get a group photo.

Guest RobJohnstone Report post Posted January 9, 2003 Bidwell hands down. As a fan of the cardinals I can honestly say no one even comes close. --Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted January 9, 2003 It has to be Mike Brown. I mean who else other then him has refused to change anything even with evidence that how he runs the team is why the team can't seem to win or get a break. These other guys may be assholes. Mike Brown beats them all unless spending as little as possible and making a profit is more important then winning to these other guys as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted January 9, 2003 Bidwell, but seeing how he has recently cleaned house with his team the Bidwell/Brown race for the top spot has gotten closer. Brown is soooo pathetic, too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted January 9, 2003 Where's Ford? I mean The Lions are a shit awful team who've made some of the most retarded management decisions the last few years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted January 9, 2003 Brown, definitely. Though, like YNA, I think William Clay Ford should have been on the list, too, if only for the monumentally stupid decision not to fire Matt Millen and Marty Moronwheg. I have alot of ranting on Bob Irsay, who after research, is dead. Come to Baltimore, then. You'll find a lot of people are are willing to ratn with you, twenty years after that waste of sperm an egg hijacked the Colts to Indy. Hell, you get a bunch of old Colts fans drunk enough, I guarantee they'd dig up his grave and shit all over the body. And it would still be less than he deserves.

Guest cabbageboy Report post Posted January 9, 2003 This has to be Brown. I mean, say what you want about Modell but he has recently won a Super Bowl. Bud Adams is out too since TENN made a Super Bowl and usually is in the playoffs. The Irsays did a crappy thing moving in the middle of the night, but in recent years at LEAST the Colts went 13-3 and have made the playoffs for the most part. Hell even the AZ Cards made the playoffs not all that long ago. No, the easy answer here is Brown. No one has been so inept for so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted January 16, 2003 Im going with Dan Snyder for practically ruining the Redskins franchise over the last 3 or 4 years. Art Model won't be the owner of the Ravens much longer. One of the people who has a minority investment in the Ravens has an option in 2004 to buy out Model, and given his age and health condition, Im betting it will happen.

Guest starvenger Report post Posted January 16, 2003 Mike Brown hans down. Everyone else looks like a Saint or genius next to him. Hear, hear. Ford is pretty hands off, so I put the blame for the Lions being the NFC's creme de la merde on the shoulders of Millen and Moriwheg (sp). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fairtoflair7 Report post Posted January 16, 2003 Brown, hands down. He took once a respectable, Super Bowl team, and plummeted them down to the ground with little hope. Right now he has the smallest scouting staff in the NfL. THey have the #1 pick and he refuses to hire a GM. He doesn't spend $ and this is Paul Brown's son for crying out loud. Marvin Lewis does though have some good stuff to work with. The Bengals were picked to make the playoffs they year, as a wildcard, but they soon self-destructed. THis team does have some talent. With the #1 pick, almost guareented Carson Palmer, with a slight chance of Byron Leftiwich, the team has a future. With Corey Dillion, Peter Warrick and Chad Johnson on offense. This team w/ a quality QB could be good. The defense is getting better with Takeo Spikes and Justin Smith. The only problem is Brown w, who cheap and stubborn, refusing to go with how teams go about today. Brown will have to give some leeway if this team is successful but somethying magical is going to have to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
