Ms. Gayle is NOT your average NFL owner. As the second richest individual in the state she isn't in it for the money. She has no living relatives of which to leave her fortune. Her two stated concerns are the team staying where it is and her fortune going to various local charities upon her death ... hopefully many, many years down the road. From every indication she is still in excellent health. |

Knee jerk reactions after losses are what keep a franchise in the cellar. Look at Jerry Jones And Al Davis if you want to look at how owners who follow the mob mentality ruin top draft picks. Loomis might fire DA if he craps the bed the reset of the season. But, most likely, Loomis will fire PC after the season as a scapegoat to appease the fans. But unfortunately, DA will be back! |

There were many calls for Al Davis and Jerry Jones to fire their GMs over the year. Neither ever fired themselves. Al Davis and Jerry Jones are actually examples of why a team should not keep a GM for 20+ years when his success is in the rear view mirror and he is way too old. The lesson of the Raiders and Cowboys is FIRE MICKEY LOOMIS!!! |

That leaves us with Cashman (4 championship rings) and Brown/Tobin (Bengals had a mediocre existence but have been killing it the last 3+ years). While Loomis has more or less been going in the opposite direction of the Bengals. And we aren't run anything like the Yankees, actually more like the Mets - disastrous win-now strategies get used and we think the franchise is God's gift to sports just because we won a championship or two in the past. Mickey is a do-nothing optimist with zero objectivity. |
