Mcdonough has a point.  Bird has no real experience that would make him GM
potential, but either do most G.M's, especially M.L.  IMO the key role of a
G.M. is to be able to spot talent either in a draft or through free agency,
as Riley has done with Austin & Voshon Lenard, and Jerry West has done on
many occasions.  Can Bird do this ?  Only time will tell.

As far as Zoellers comments when is the double standard going to end ? 
Zoeller & guys like Jimmy the Greek & Al Campanis make little coments and
the media blacklists them, but Keyshawn Johnson can write a book lambasting
the "Slow white" guys like O'Donnell &  Wayne Chrebet(who just happens to
be the teams leading receiver) and nobody says anything.  It is pure
bullshit
