Shanny wanted Bulger but DS wanted McNabb who was a bigger more marketable name. Again, you know the rest.
It seems like DS's best PR move has been to get the public to think he's defered to the experts. He hasnt.

Citing the WP for proof of DS being a bad owner is not really very useful. I am sure that, like every other owner in the league, he has pushed his ideas, but it is clear from Gibbs to Shanahan and now Allen, that he has been reducing the amount of hands on meddling that he has been doing. The Washington Post, or at least some of its writers, will never acknowledge DS doing anything other than being a petulant owner, but that doesn't seem to jive with most of the facts that are out there now.
