Or just totally f everything up. Why a man as sensitive and honest as Blank really is (when he says he had no idea that Vick led this whole other life you can believe him; he didn't have a freakin' clue) would even WANT to get into the racket of professional football is beyond me. A quiet life giving away billion via the Blank Foundation wasn't splashy enough I suppose. Pity. And as an employee for 10 years at Corporate HD, I had countless occasions in which to closely observe the personality, mannerisms, and personnel interactions of Blank in a variety of situations. But football franchise owner?! Save that for the Marge Shots of the world. Blank was just buying himself the totally wrong toy for his personality type. This can happen when trophy wives and cars and houses are just not cutting it I suppose. Blank's ego might have been out of control, but he was/is also an inherently honest and deeply sensitive man. Blank should have been a shrink with a bow tie maybe, but den mother to a crew of thugs and concussion-addled brutes and vermin? Just a really bad fit any way you toss a ball up and down the fake grass. The male ego never ceases to amaze, eh?! Or just totally f everything up.
