The focus of this Blog is my opinion and observations about the Cleveland Browns and University of Florida Gators performance, the NFL, SEC and sports in general. Sports history and current sports operations including political and social impact on society. Reader's of my book "They Call It A Game" tell me, without exception that it changed their thinking about the NFL and is as relevent today as ever. Saying they enjoyed reading it is a great bonus.

NFL's Eric Holder Attorney General

Eric Holder Covington & Burling lawfirm partner and frequent employee of the NFL has been named Attorney General. Pres Elect Barrack Obama is assembling a branch of jock sniffers who are waiting to do the bidding of their professional sports idols and celebrities. In what amounts to another qid pro quo Obama made a deal with Holder to name him Attorney General if Holder could deliver Pittsburgh Steeler's owner Dan Rooney's endorsment and financial backing. Holder delivered Rooney through his NFL connection through his Covington & Burling ties. But there is more since Aon Consulting/Aon Corporation owner by Chicago Bears owners Patrick Ryan and Andrew McKenna are in danger of being prosecuted for conflicts of interest for also being actuary through Aon for being their employees NFL Player Retirement Plan's costing those employees $100 of millions of dollars with cooked actuarial anaylisis that lowered their own and the other NFL owners employer contributions to that plan.

Retired NFL players complaints about this illegal cooked employer employee retirement plan relationship to the DOJ and the DOL have been stone walled by Bush appointees with both those federal agencies. President Bush's first cousin Jim Pierce is Managing Director of Aon Corporation. Holder's lawfirm Covington & Burling has already been retained and are implimenting this Holder, Attorney General circumvention of federal law white collar crime defense of Aon. Coincidentally Holder's specialty at Covington & Burling is defending high profile white collar criminals like Merck or Chiquita Banana or the NFL or Aon Corporation.

It is no accident that Aon Corporation showed up at the Congessional bailout hearings to get their piece of the trillion dollar theft pie presenting their complex, always complex plans to insure the mortgage losses or some variation thereof. Aon is still in the process of paying off $190 million of restitution to three states NY, CN, and IL and writing a letter of apology from Patrick Ryan to their customers in those states for "cheating them." Aon was also ordered to delete "conflicts of interest" from their business model. Aon ignored that court order and continued their NFL conflicts of interest in all three of those states.

Obama promised to "return the rule of law to the Department of Justice" naming Holder the NFL, specialist defender of white collar criminals Attorney General is a Hell of a way to do it. Looks like Aon Corporation, Patrick Ryan more dirty Chicago politics. Where is Bush's 1st cousin in all of this?

Control of what the media says about it is in the hands of Sandy Montag agent for CNN's Anderson Cooper, HBO's Bob Costas, John Madden, Kieth Obberman, ESPN Chris Mortenson, and others keep the NFL and NFLPA's propaganda on the front burner at all times.
