TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said he was privately approached about his interest in becoming the NFL's next commissioner.

Bush said Tuesday the issue was discussed at a recent meeting with Patrick Rooney Sr., according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Rooney's brother is Dan Rooney, owner of Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers and co-chair of the search committee looking to replace the retiring Paul Tagliabue.

"I met with Mr. Rooney and I said, `I'm doing my job until I'm finished and then I'm going to consider other things,'" Bush told the newspaper.

1. As a huge NFL fan and Democrat...

I'd let him take it if it meant he wouldn't run for President and fuck up the country any more. He'd HAVE to make me that promise though.

[Cha]

5. Yeah...then he could

just fuck up the NFL.

[rniel]

2. I say fine

Just stay out of politics.

[warrens]

3. Ol' Rushbo might be back at MNF, making racist comments

And stupid, uninformed analysis. Have I mentioned lately how much I despise Repukes?

4. Picture of new commissioner and tackling dummy. n/t

6. Well WTF, I was tired of watching pro football anyway!

[JPZenger]

7. Yes, Please

Yes, please we need to find another job for Jeb that does not involve politics.

Many people say that George W. Bush would have made a helluva great Commissioner of Baseball. Molly Ivins says it was Rove who pushed Bush into running for President because Rove wanted the power.

8. Isn't Condi gonna be pissed?

Isn't that her dream job?

9. Is it enough $ to keep him OUT of government? n/t

10. Team ownership seems to be a prerequisite for them--hope he

doesn't screw things up like his "Big Brother" did.
