#174: Stupid Runs an NFL Franchise (The Producers-style)

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s widely revered and most truly beloved founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Yes, that word "product" here in the States means that they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. Just don't be a douchebag.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and utterly inarguable, no exceptions.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "Is eating microwaved White Castle burgers the low point of my life?" and you and four other people answer "No", you all receive 4 points, even though the answer is completely incorrect.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Setup: Stupid's rich uncle has died and left Stupid an NFL franchise to run. But it's not just any NFL franchise, it is Stupid's least favorite franchise, the one that makes Stupid vomit a little in his mouth when he thinks about it. Stupid's tax attorney points out that a loophole with government bailouts would allow Stupid to recoup the entire value of the franchise if he can run it completely into the ground (a la The Producers). So, make your worst management decisions Stupid...

1- Which NFL franchise does Stupid want to run into the ground?

2- The first opportunity for the implosion of Stupid's team is with the team's #1 pick. So which quarterback in the upcoming draft will be the biggest bust (and of course is also the QB that Stupid drafts)?

3- Now that Stupid has made his mark, time to hand it off to the front office staff. Who does Stupid hire to be General Manager to further wreck this ship?

4- Stupid and GM have successfully destroyed the roster. So what current college head coach will Stupid hire to run the team into the ground?

5- Finally, Stupid needs to get people to stop coming to the stadium. Who does Stupid recruit as halftime entertainment?

6- At the end of a championship season, a team celebrates with champagne. What will Stupid's team celebrate with after this dismal year?


Best of luck and I hope these questions are worthy of Stupid. PM answers to me: PurdueBrad

My goal will be to close this out on Wednesday, March 10'th.

With the huge early response and the weekend coming, I bumped the closing date earlier, to Wednesday of next week. Figure that gives the weekend crowd and early week crowd a chance to hop in.

Love the answers so far btw, several have made me laugh out loud.
