So sorry again, I am even more of an ass then I thought. I still maintain, however, that he could have asked Joe to delay the announcement while he reworked Williams' contract.

And I still maintain that you are wrong.
Before the Rooney Rule, the argument was that minorities were terrible at interviewing. You only get better by doing, so the Rooney Rule's intent is two-fold, foster diversity by 1) developing the interviewing skill set of minorities, and 2) force owners to interview minority candidates that they were not doing otherwise.
Your assertion, which I agree with as a Redskin fan interested in continuity, I absolutely disagree with as a minority. What's to stop any owner from doing the same thing you prescribe?
Good arguing with you though, and for the record, I don't think you're an ass. Maybe donkey-like, but not an ass. Just joking, its all good!
