Rooney Rule interview I bet.

I went out for a run on Sunday, and I had the radio on in my ipod. I was hoping to pick up one of the early games. Instead, I got the bronco pregame show, with the two worst sports people I've ever heard. They were reporting the scores of the early games in progress, and they were saying things like,
"Let's give you an update on the Bears game. Anyone know the score?"
"It looks like it's 17 to 10."
"Okay, so that game is 17 to 10."
They wouldn't say who the Bears were playing or who was ahead. It was like they had never been in front of a microphone before.
But anyway, they were talking about the broncos, and they were excitedly talking about how Jim Harbaugh is interested and Sean Payton is interested and so on. And then one of them said,
"But remember, they're also going to have do three interviews with minority candidates before they hire anyone."
Well, they're not wrong. That's how it's viewed in most cases.
I don't like the blatant nepotism and the blatant old boy network in the NFL. I like seeing coaches' kids fail since they never earned the right to be coaches. But they should just change the Rooney Rule to the "Free Weekend of Touring NFL Cities For Minority Assistants" Rule. No one takes it seriously unless the guy is already a candidate for other reasons.
