Man, all these guys sure know how to talk the talk, and outside of the Darko situation in Detroit this guy seems to be pretty respected.

I'm sorta wishing this guy were our GM and Kahn was in a purely media/business position.

They way he adressed the Cousins situation was perfect.

It might be more that way than you know.

That guy is cool. I am glad he is working the draft for us. Great hire by Khan.

I like how he reiterates that they have not made up their mind yet.

As much trepidation as I've expressed about Kahn in recent weeks, I've been more impressed with the little I've seen/heard from Ronzone. Comforting to have someone with a scouting background that high up the ladder. Awesome that he's gone out and seen guys like George 10 times.

And yes, what he said about Cousins not coming was great. "That's why we spend time away from our wife and kids."
"A while back,'' Cardinal said, "I took a picture of the standings and texted it to Love, just to bust his chops,'' Cardinal said. "He sent me a picture back of a snowdrift.''

Wow - that's my first major exposure to Ronzone. He is spectacular. I am a big Kahn fan, too, but what worries me about Kahn is that he might get too cute, sort of outsmart ourselves. Ronzone seems like the sort of guy that will listen to ideas and think outside the box, but is also willing to step in and say "Hold up, do you realize what you are saying?! Let's not get cute here."

That individual, I like the cut of his jib.

I think the key is the working relationship between Ronzone and Kahn. Does Kahn take his advice? What are their roles?

He seems to have answered at least the first question in the interview. He said that they really go back and forth in their discussions and challenge each other. Seems to be a really good working relationship.

Twolves fans are like girls with daddy issues - have a strong jawline and act like you can take care of everything = in the cake.
