This is a really good read by Jim Saccomano


Edgar F. Kaiser, Jr. had purchased the team in 1981 and was not well received by the public or press, an attitude which he wished to reverse.

On Nov. 28, I was called into his hotel suite at the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego, where we were to play the Chargers that afternoon.

Mr. Kaiser had asked me there to share my opinion as to whether or not it was worth it to acquire Stanford quarterback John Elway, the best quarterback prospect since Johnny Unitas and the certain first pick in the 1983 draft.

I said there was no way we could get Elway, as he was certain to be the first pick in the draft.

Kaiser, who had degrees from Stanford and Harvard and had served on the Trilateral Commission, calmly replied, "Jim, anything can be bought and sold in America. It is just about setting the price."

Pat Bowlen has a better candidacy than any of the last 3 years non-football candidates, apparently resume means dick.
