Feeling bad for Arthur Blank...

Some guys are just too gullible for words. How could he ignore obvious evidence? Petrino's inability to hold to his word, then Mike Vick's ownership of the dog fighting facility? I don't feel sorry for people who won't do their due diligence, or ignore it if it's not convenient.

He's a solid guy, but the architect of his own demise.

....wants to make his team a winner and doesn't spare a dime in doing so

at the risk of sounding harsh to Arthur, the above notion is why the team is in disarray.

Woah, hold on a sec, there...

First, I doubt Arthur Blank is "gullible'. You don't get to the level of success Arthur Blank has experienced in life being gullible.

Second, what "obvious" evidence? That Vick had a house in his name in a VA suburb? No one outside Vick's circle knew about this. If you know someone for many years and one day someone accuses that person of some crime, do you immediately assume he's guilty? How many players in the NFL do you think have multiple houses in their names which they give to their family members?
