Weaver Ranked 28th on CNN/SI Rankings of NFL Owners

Michael Silver of CNN/SI has come up with his list of 1-32 owners in the NFL.  Jags owner Wayne Weaver did not get many high marks on Silver’s chart.  Here below are Silver’s comments as he ranks Wayne #28.   

“Last year the man I nicknamed Whine Weaver couldn’t crack the bottom eight, but he gets more annoying by the week. First and foremost, he fought to put an expansion franchise in a lightweight town, yet he can’t stop crying about his status as a small-market owner and demands revenue-sharing as though it were his birthright. Weaver also, as one owner says, “constantly denies his team is for sale when everyone knows full well it is.”

Hey, I just came up with a solution to the L.A. problem: Weaver sells the team to a non-whiner like, say, Larry Ellison or Casey Wasserman, who moves it to the Coliseum (and, soon after, to a newly constructed, Jerry Jones-style palace) and hires Pete Carroll. Any objections coming from outside of Jacksonville’s 9,456-mile city limits? Didn’t think so.”
