The Detroit Lions introduced Ron Wood as Team President on Friday the 20th. It would have been much more apropos a week earlier on Friday the 13th.
It’s downright scary when the man charged to turn around one of professional sports’ least-successful, least-profitable franchises opens his introductory press conference with these words,
“I am not a ‘football guy’”
Or continue on to utter the phrase,
“I would probably say that I’m not qualified to run any other NFL team”
Stop right there! When the new President says those words out loud to the gathered media, whatever shoots out of his pie hole next doesn’t matter.
