 Owner rankings, 17-32: Wayne's wretched world - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Fifteen years ago, during a long-shot campaign to land an NFL expansion team, Wayne Weaver made the city of Jacksonville sound like a football fan’s version of Atlantis. Bring pro football to the sleepy market, Weaver insisted, and bountiful rewards would follow. In one of the more shocking developments in sports business history, Weaver got his wish. Then, as the years went by and reality set ... [link]

Wednesday Notes: Training Camp Eve Edition
Published 29 days ago by Sean Yuille at Pride Of Detroit: Front Page Posts
... Yahoo! Sports' Michael Silver ranked all 32 NFL owners, and William Clay Ford came in at 24th.  That is way, way too high as WCF is one of the worst owners in the league.  I mean, seriously, the man has kept Matt Millen around for this long.  He should be near the bottom of this list if not at the very bottom. ...

Waiting for Camp

... Chiefs draft picks yet to sign a contract. Like we've been saying, don't expect Dorsey and Albert to be on camp on time. Let's just hope it doesn't take too long. Southern Quarterbacks I've always felt that geographical studies combined with sports was pretty interesting. Bob Gretz at KCChiefs.com puts out an article worth a read this morning. He sums it up with this sentence - "The Gulf Coast has become the breeding ground for NFL quarterbacks." Owner Rankings Not surprisingly, Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis comes in at #31 on a list of ...

... Packers have begun shopping Favre around. UPDATE: I was just wrapping up the walk and found a story in the AZ Republic that Favre continued to use a Packers-issued cell phone after retirement and used it to contact the Vikings. Talk about lipstick on the collar, sounds almost like Brett wanted to get caught. Here is the link Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports has compiled a list of the worst to best owners in the NFL, here is Part One I'm a little surprised Dan Snyder isn't in the bottom half, and I ...

IS WEAVER THE NFL’S WORST OWNER?
Published 29 days ago by Tom Mantzouranis at ProFootballTalk.com
If the Internet has taught us one thing, it’s that humans love lists in ranked order. And so it’s no surprise that, on the eve of training camps — the last time of the year every single fanbase has championship hopes (realistic or not) — Michael Silver comes along to remind some of us that, no, your team is rotten at the top and hope is a fruitless venture. That’s right, it’s Part I of his annual Owner Rankings ...

Among the best
Published 29 days ago by Deshawn Zombie (noreply@blogger.com) at 18 to 88
Michael Silver, who continues his exile from public consciousness by writing for yahoo.com, has released his annual owner rankings. This time he gives a lot more love to Jimmy Irsay. I still can't fathom his love affair with Dan Snyder, but being in the top 6 is a good start. Irsay has been everything a fan could hope for in an owner. Who's the worst? Look to our brothers in the AFC South...the Jholes! Yes folks, Wayne Weaver was ranked as the worst owner in the NFL. The write up on him is hilarious... "He’s totally and completely out for his bottom line, and the league’s best interest is not in his mind at ...

Michael Silver drinks the Haterade

... story came out?  I discussed that every summer you can count on the NFL writers to re-hash the same story over and over again.  I had forgotten about one tradition, Michael Silver's worst-to-first Owners Rankings.  Just like last year, he's egregiously unfair to Wayne Weaver, which has me convinced that the Weavers must have ran over Silver's dog at some point.  I cannot understand for the life of me where the venom toward the Weavers comes from. I quote: 32. Jacksonville Jaguars – Wayne Weaver: It was ...

Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky Mike Silver's third annual ratings of NFL owners are out. He started it at SI.com and now builds his tradition at yahoo.com in two installments, 17-32 and 16-1.

Wayne Weaver, Jacksonville 20. Bud Adams, Tennessee 7. Bob McNair, Houston 6. Jim Irsay, Indianapolis If you have a reaction, I'm interested and will be checking the comments here.
