Jeb Bush to NFL: Thanks but no thanks
Florida governor ‘flattered,’ but won’t leave office early to be commissioner

I am also flattered to be offered the job, and unlike Jeb I am very willing to leave my office here at the Gameops.com WHQ to take on the responsibility of being NFL commissioner.

Clearly my years spent as the commissioner of the East Stains Fantasy Football League have paid off, and I suppose it was just a matter of time before the NFL called.

I will have to wrap up a couple loose ends here first, but I should be ready to step in on or about May 26th.

My first couple rulings will be:

1.  Anyone suggesting that NFL refs need to be “full-time” will be fined and suspended.  That is just nutz.  If I do allow that, then I will appoint myself a linesman and step down the following Sunday.  Getting paid as a full-timer to work 16 weekends a year is too good to pass up.
2. Reggie Bush can wear number 5.  Actually, anyone can wear any number they want.  Rationing numbers by position was always a tad militaristic and anal retentive for my tastes. In addition, like the XLF, you can have anything you want as your name on the jersey.  “HE HATE ME” is worth millions in jersey sales.
3. End Zone Celebration Rule:  If you don’t dance after a score, it’s only worth 5 points.  Make it funky too.

I also have an open door policy as commish.  Feel free to suggest a new rule via email or as a comment.
