Could NY end up with the two worst GMs in Thomas and Casserly? I hope he doesn't use the Texans as a reference. I do find him amusing as the insider ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NFL pregame shows stoking rivalry There's a food fight brewing between the rival pregame crews at Fox NFL Sunday and CBS' The NFL Today. During last Sunday's telecast, Fox NFL Sunday contributor Jay Glazer told viewers nationwide that CBS' "NFL insider" Charley Casserly, the former general manager of the Houston Texans and Washington Redskins, was interviewing for the New York Giants' GM job. Fox analyst Howie Long scoffed, saying he couldn't believe an NFL team would consider Casserly after Casserly's Texans selected Mario Williams with the No. 1 pick in the 2006 draft, rather than Reggie Bush or Vince Young. "How does this happen? I don't get it," said Long. "What do you put on your résumé? Heath Shuler (the quarterback bust picked No. 3 in the 1994 draft by Casserly while with the Redskins)? The last Houston Texans draft?" Casserly could not be reached. But CBS Sports spokeswoman LeslieAnne Wade says: "The Fox guys have talked about Charley for the past three weeks. Obviously, they're interested in, and maybe concerned with, Charley if they're going to talk about him three weeks in a row." Fox Sports spokesman Lou D'Ermilio denies Long meant to attack a TV rival. "Howie was talking about Charley Casserly as a GM candidate, not as the insider on NFL Today. It didn't have anything to do with his role at CBS. The network that has the NFC package of games traditionally leads the pregame-show ratings race. Fox NFL Sunday has been the top-rated NFL pregame show since going on the air in 1994. Fox's show leads CBS' by 19% in the ratings this season, posting a weekly average of 3.2 vs. 2.7. But the race is tightening. CBS' show has outrated Fox's on four of 15 weekends this season. As for negotiations between Casserly and the Giants, Wade says: "Charley is under contract with CBS." link
Yeah these reports are for real and it looks like CC has emerged as the front runner. He will say Williams was KubiAG's pick and will bring up super bowl titles in Wash. I bet he get's it. He is good infront of the mic and must be a hell of a BS artist.
Casserly is one hell of a salesman. Hell, he was able to sell Texans fans on his horrible drafts for four years untill we finally figured him out. For him to ever get another GM job is mindblowing.
