Atleast from what Florio's said, the guy was considered a long-shot for the position (based on his actual experience and qualifications) but that he got the job because he put together a great presentation for the players. I get the sense that he's the type of guy who can talk weaker-minded people (average NFL player) into just about anything, but he's no match for the brains he's up against in the owners.

I know nothing of the man myself, but Florio did a good job of exposing his legal jibberjabber. we'll see what ends up happening, but I think the next CBA will be very league-friendly.
