Me personally though, I guess I really am just a Negative Nelly, or a cynic.  I just don't need stuff like this; it's too much.  The "great empires", "the bold", "assert their dominance", it feels like I'm reading a pamphlet for some cheesy seminar or watching a pretentious commercial.

Just build a really good football team, and go out and win some games.  It's not that complicated for me.  I don't need whatever this is.

Fwiw, this was my reaction to reading this:

I think the cynisim stems from her being a Brown. Our organization is doing stuff and that's swell, but it also seems like the Brown family won't do anything until a family member happens to get into the field and join the organization. 

Other teams did stuff like this decades ago, but we couldn't because we we're waiting for Elizabeth Blackburn to become an adult and do it.  

So better late than never, but there also seems to be a "better never than by some one who isn't related to me" vibe going on too.  Hopefully our first GM is born to a Brown/Blacburn soon. Hardy har.
