Not sure why folks think Ray Agnew want’s to be a GM. He and Holmes are like best friends. Agnew made a decent amount of money in the NFL so it’s not like he needs it.
My point, becoming a GM, you have to hire some guy you’re not familiar working with. It’s a lot of factors you have to consider. It’s not easy to work with most owners in the NFL.

I was just talking about the Peter Principle with someone this morning. Its interesting how many roles in life are like that. The “thing” you did well to get the next opportunity are not the skills you need when you get there.

Agnew is 55. The next GM offer he gets may be his last.
Agnew played in the previous century.
He made good money (less than $14M in his career) but nothing like the generational wealth players earn today. Most GM’s get to hire 2 coaches before they are fired.
As a GM Agnew could earn twice as much as he did in his 10 year NFL career.

I think Agnew in the role of GM would be an excellent example of the Peter Prinicple. I’ll grant that he excels at player evaluations, but there’s so much more to being GM and my totally unfair impression is that he would lag in fluid situations like draft day, FA signings, PR and contract negotiations.

I do think he should jump at any GM opportunity because the next one could be his last as @MittenSportsFan said. I just don’t think he’ll get an offer.

I think his ability to be a GM is greater than his ability to land a GM job. I think there are alot of GMs who aren’t actually that great at what they do. They just present themselves well and owner’s like that. So if Ray gets a GM gig, I think it will be because he is attached to a specific coach that is leaving the Lions and puts him in place. I don’t think he will get much consideration outside of that.

Mitch was a star… Anyone have other recommendations for real comedians these days?

I loved Carlin and Mitch… Sure I like dumb comedy too. But smart comedy is always best.

Now it just seems like most comedians are making political jokes… I don’t care which 80 year old retard won. I wanna laugh. Make me laugh with something different.

End rant but anyone with a sense of humor… You get it.

Mitch was naturally funny… There’s a comedian that tells a real life interaction between Mitch and a hotel employee… Mitch was trying to pay in cash and they would only take a card. “But this is money, this is what that card represents” then goes on to make a hilarious comparison.

Edit… Here ya go

Sam Morril is one of my favorite comics right now… Theo Von is good… Shane Gillis… Tony Hingecliff

Nor do I think he wants to be a GM. Some guys are comfortable in certain roles. If Brad Holmes was to leave Detroit, do you know is assistant GM would be in the next role, yes, Ray Agnew. Folks need to stop trying to push guys out the door.
