Rankings


It's hard to imagine that a magazine like Forbes can be so wrong.  (See #3)

The fact that Billy King is on that list anywhere is laughable, let alone #3.  But the rankings were heavily determined by comparing the current GM vs the final 3 years of his predecessor so I guess that's why King ranked so high because the Sixers were absolutely abysmal before he came in.  He also had the luxary of having Pat Croce by his side for a few years and Croce is who was responsible for the Sixers turn around imo, not King. 

The fact that Banner isn't on there is laughable too.  I hate that little bastich because he refuses to spend a single penny extra on a player if they don't feel he's worth it but you still can't dispute the fact that since Banner has played a major role in the Eagles success in the last several years.

Go behead whoever wrote this slop. Don't even use a guillotine. Use a Ron Popeil steak-knife.

Where is Ron Jawarski?
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

I almost posted this yesterday.  The list is so wrong on so many levels, I thought I should waste my time somewhere else, like looking at Biel vs. Alba pictures.

You.  AIDS.  Now.

I'm not from Philly but some say I'm blunt.

I guess they didn't list Banner as the GM because he really isn't  a "GM". The Eagles don't have a representative on that list. Its the 4 headed monster of Lurie/Banner/Reid/Heckert

If they do weigh it heavily based in comparison to the previous GM, then I would hope Gillick's stock skyrockets in the next few years; hopefully...
