Wow! Only 7 spots behind crazy Al Davis!

 

[football karma]

Those too high:

Jerry Jones at #2-- The guy has now run off two incredibly competent football guys in Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells because Jerry wants to be the GM. In a way, he is the Ying to Bidwill's Yang: Both are control freaks that hamstring their franchise's ability to win-- only that Jones is an outgoing, dynamic spender while Bill B is reclusive and frugal.

Daniel Synder at #5 -- sure he spends, but where has it gotten him? I mean its great to have an owner so aggressive, but if he hires people who point him at the wrong players -- whose fault is that? Another guy that for all his effort, hasnt done diddly in the last 10 years.

Randy Lerner at #22-- The Browns are a mess-- this guy is bottom five material.

Agree or disagree with the guy, at least he gives you his reasons. I liked the article. Good off-season thread starter.

Interesting article. I don't know if I agree the Bengals owner is the worst because his players got into legal trouble. You can only be a babysitter to some extent and people are ultimately responsible for their actions, not the head coach or owner.

Daniel Snyder has no business whatsoever in the top 5, let alone the top 20. That selection right there just voided the credibility of the entire list. Whoever wrote this is an absolute idiot and it angers me that people this ******** are still occupying jobs.

Teacher: Well Billy, you got every answer on the test wrong but I am going to give you a "B" because it sure looked like you were trying hard to do well.
