Jeffrey folded.

Looks like Chip gave him an ultimatum and his common sense kicked in. No way he could back Roseman over Kelly.

Shame about Gamble getting fkkked over. But I'm sure he'll land on his feet.

Kudos to Chip for calling Howie's all-in. Wouldnt be surprised to see Roseman moving to the Jets soon.

Ray Diddy disagrees ... he doesn't think Howie lost any power ... in fact, he sees it as Howie running the show.

If you consider being in charge of

Medical and equipment staff "running the show" then i fully agree with Ray.

Howie's first order of business is changing practice pants from polyester to cotton.

[slag]

Wrong ... Head of Football Operations means he runs the football operations.

Diddy says basically if you think Kelly is heading the search for a new talent evaluator? Well, Howie just fired the guy he wanted.

That look like equipment to you does it?

Could be. Lurie's statement appears to back Kelly but they are playing a game above my skills.

My guess is that Lurie decided to give Kelly enough rope to either succeed or hang himself. If Chip blows it, Howie's back in charge. If not, Lurie finally gets the brass ring. Win win.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was Roseman's idea. He's a sneaky little shit.

"Howie Roseman will be elevated to the role of Executive Vice President of Football Operations and will continue directing contract negotiations, salary cap management and NFL strategic matters, while overseeing the team’s medical staff, equipment staff and more."

I equate "more" with evaluating the vending machines in the staff lounge than "more" meaning approving anything Chip desires to improve the team. DId it ever cross Ray's mind that Chip didn't view Gamble as the ideal choice and maybe Gamble had reached his expiration date, even in Chip's eyes?

Uh huh ... and you think all that shit before medical staff etc is not impacting personnel decisions?

And what exactly are NFL strategic matters?

[Pete]

Not as much as actually picking the players

pro and college.

And as for NFL strategic matters, I look at that as shit like stadium upgrades, better wi-fi, domestic violence prevention, rule changes (replay?) etc. No kidding.

Reid had personnel control also but he had to contend with the money man.

I'm glad Kelly gets to pick the groceries, as Parcells said back in the day, but I'm not completely sold that Howlo is a bitch who counts toilet paper rolls for the Linc.

[Pete]

Agreed

but I think ultimately Howie leaves for a better job...if someone offers him one (unlikely). I think he kind of painted himself in a corner with this power move and it backfired to some extent.
