Struggling Browns reportedly considering Condoleezza Rice as new head coach

The Cleveland Browns’ incompetence is legendary in the NFL. They have failed to win a championship in the Super Bowl era, have not reached the playoffs since 2002 and have won a grand total of seven games in the last four seasons. So maybe it’s time to start looking for radical solutions, although most people would think appointing the former Secretary of State of the United States as the team’s new head coach would be taking things a little too far.

According to ESPN, the Browns are considering interviewing Condoleezza Rice, who became the first female African American Secretary of State when she served in George W Bush’s administration, for the vacant head coach’s position. “She’s an amazing person,” a Browns source told ESPN.

According to the report, it is unlikely that the Browns would offer Rice the job but it could lead to her being appointed to another role within the organization. If the Browns do go ahead with the plan, Rice would be the first women to interview for an NFL head coaching role.

Or maybe it's just the silly season already.

It's definitely silly season, at least in Cleveland.

That said, she does have the proper qualifications and experience for a variety of front office positions, including general manager, and in most of those positions she'd probably be an upgrade for the Browns.

What is he? A religious nut who'd view himself as a martyr? An idiotic tourist who wanted some adventure?

 

[Silurian]

Not really sure what type of nut he was.

A few years ago some fishermen got killed there fishing illegally.
They left the bodies on the island as they did not want to hurt the islanders.

A combination of all three, maybe if he did a little bit of research he could have avoided this tragic fate

John Allen Chau traveled to North Sentinel Island with the help of fisherman who may have suggested he not go. Regardless, he continued on in a kayak. He knew the island was off-limits, according to officials and reports, but believed he’d been given the strength and authority by Jesus and set off.

Senior police officials were quoted by India Today saying Chau was an American “Christian missionary who wanted to convert the Sentinelese tribe that inhabits the island where he was killed.”
Chau, 27, of Alabama and of late from Washington State, was an adventurer and a missionary. A graduate of Oral Roberts University, he had traveled the world and was a skilled diver, climber and emergency medic, was also a “snakebite survivor.”

note he left with the fisherman that would later see him killed and his body dragged by the tribesman, explained his motivation; “Jesus had bestowed him with the strength to go to the most forbidden places on Earth,” as was reported to have been shared by Indian officials.

I mean, Jesus empowered him to go there, he got that much right. Just, the Big Man didn't see fit to bring him back.

the Indian Army has like a million troops and jets and ships and 3000 tanks and certainly more nukes than me and they have left the place on its own , despite they have a military HQ in the island chain to combat them incoming Chinese Fleet . You know , there were also centuries of English rule and their organized missionizing , too .

There's not many ways to die where you get zero sympathy but this idiot found one. Trying to force yourself on an uncontacted tribe who have made their wishes about contact very clear, and for whom you're very probably carrying genocidal pathogens, in order to liberate them from Satan by yelling at them in English about Jesus. Yikes.

 

[Silurian]

Yes the only people you feel sad for is his family.

It looks like a happy bunch together
This steer, 1.94 m height, 1,400 kilo, is not the biggest one currently living, there is an Italian steer of just over 2.00 m.

Was just checking, a steer is castrated, else I'd see some serious... complications... there.
