I'll miss the weekly Matt Millen jokes.
Isiah Thomas was terrible yes, but I believe Millen was worse
I disagree. Granted, it sure seems as if both Isiah and Millen had some incriminating information of the owner of each team that they used to blackmail them into keeping them on as GM's even though they continuously sucked (tell me it doesn't seem that way...I dare you!!) but Isiah takes the cake.
This is the same guy that not only sunk the Knicks organization to a whole new low but he also sexually harrassed and then fired the same high ranking employee that didn't appreciate his advances so she sued the Knicks organization and subsequently won a lawsuit for over $10 million dollars.
Sure, Millen made some huge mistakes as a GM and should never, ever hold that kind of position again (maybe the Raiders will hire him) but he didn't pull the kind of things that Isiah did so smugly. Good riddance to both I say.
Isaiah does take the cake. He wrecked the CBA well before he ever got to New York. What a fool.
Too bad the Ford's waited sooooooooo long. Bill Polian from Indianoplis would have made a good builder of a winning team. It will take time but good bye Millen.
As a Vikings fan, while I agree Mike Lynn made one really, really awful trade, it didn't cause the Vikings to suck for seven straight years (going on eight) as Millen's constant mis-management has. And Lynn was the head of a committee more than the sole guy in charge as Millen has been.
I'm beginning to think that you're actually part of the Viking's front office. First you're on board with the whole T-Jack project, and now you're defending Lynn!!!
That trade most certainly caused the Vikings to suck for at least seven years. No team gives up that many picks and builds a decent franchise. Just go back and look at some of the players that were picked up with those picks. Emmitt Smith alone could help build a team.
Don't buy that "head of a committee" the call was clearly his, as was disclosed at the time. The coach was absolutely against the deal.
ugh...hate HTML...not sure why my entire post was italicized...only meant for the first part to be.
