QuoteSources: Tagliabue comtemplating retirement
ESPN.com news services

Paul Tagliabue is seriously contemplating ending his 17-year run as NFL commissioner, league sources tell ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

The sources say Tagliabue is expected to exercise a clause in his contract with league owners in which he becomes a "Senior Executive" consultant with a significant compensation package.

There has been recent speculation that Tagliabue's reign was in its final year or two, but the sources pinpointed the commissioner's decision as possible during the next 60 days. Tagliabue's current contract has two years remaining on it and it is believed to pay him between $8 and $10 million through May of 2008.

I don't think its yawn inducing at all. He's more or less responsible for the league's MASSIVE jump in popularity. Interesting to see what will happen.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

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.

Rich McKay would be a good choice.  But the outright humor of a guy named "Dick Cass" might be worth it.  Of course, he hates the Eagles because he was in the thick of the TO arbitration/forced trade in 2004.

I'm all for McKay.  or Joe Banner.  HA!

with Banner, the next superbowl would be at some high school field in Texas because he wouldnt agree to pay the renting cost of a bigger stadium

It's obvious the choice should be Joe Gibbs.

Replace one Skins fan with another.

Plus good ol' Joe just loves the NFL and would be a great ambassador to the game. He'd do it right.
