Bowlen Breaks Em Off

Pat Bowlen: H.O.I.C.

Head Owner In Charge.

If there was any doubt who is Big Poppa in Dove Valley, it ended last night when Mr. Bowlen basically gave Jay Bay Bay Cutler a big "get the fuck outta here." Sheeesh, he's even got me calling him Mr. Bowlen.

Bowlen oversaw the organization moving up to draft Cutler. He watched as they benched a veteran QB who lead them to within a step of the Super Bowl to start a rookie Cutler. He gave stood by and helped him with his diabetes. He called him the "franchise" player when they fired the former "franchise" coach. Most importantly, he signs his checks.

So, when your boss' boss calls you, you best answer or call back with a hearty "yes sir."

This isn't some Al Davis power play; a Steinbrenner-esque show of force; it's freaking common sense in the working world. Yes, teh NFL might be different from our daily jobs but the premise is the same: when the big cheese wants to talk, you best talk.

Fortunately, there is an abundance of teams that will be willing to trade for Cutler and up the ante for the Donks. And the new QB better drive straight to Dove Valley and shake Mr Bowlen's hand and get to work.
Better yet, kneel and kiss Bowlen's ring. He has two.
