NFL Commissioner ... Jeb Bush?

[dynamic_one]

A story in this morning's Orlando Sentinel suggests Florida Gov. Jeb Bush could be the next commissioner of the NFL. "While U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has publicly flirted with the idea of becoming the next commissioner of the National Football League," the story begins, "Bush has been privately approached to gauge his interest in the job and was reportedly receptive."
Bush tells the paper about a conversation he had about the job, but he also insists he'll finish his term in January. Current commissioner Paul Tagliabue plans to retire in July after 16 years in the job. Rice says she won't take the job. ("Unfortunately, it came open at the wrong time.") And according to the Florida governor, the league won't hold the job for him.
At one time an investor in the Jacksonville Jaguars, controversially so, Bush is a big football fan, the Sentinel says. He has appeared in the news previously for a variety of football-related items, including the sending of a text message to a Florida State recruit and a cameo in a Madden video game demonstration.
