"'If They Want You to Cook Dinner, at Least They Ought to Let you Shop for Some of the Groceries!": NFL General Managers

One could argue that in professional sports, the General Manager plays a more important role than even the Head Coach. It is the G.M. who assembles the talent that is on the roster. Some coaches in some pro sports have attained a level of power that let them simultaneously perform both jobs. Bill Parcells, who won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants, is the author of the quote used in the title of this quiz. In other words, he was saying that if he was expected to win games as the Head Coach, he should also have the power to have the players that he wanted on the roster. So how well do you know the current General Managers in the NFL? Well, one at a time, I will provide for you the name of a current G.M. All you have to do is tell me what team they lead? Here we go!

Dave is an accomplished economics instructor with over two decades of experience in the prestigious International Baccalaureate program. His students have consistently ranked in the top 10% annually, and one year they achieved the highest overall class average in the world. This outstanding achievement led a UK publisher to request that he write a textbook, an offer he declined in favor of creating sports quizzes, which he found more engaging.

In addition to his teaching career, Dave is also a former high school football coach, having won a couple of local championships. While he wishes he had won more, he continues to be deeply involved in football as a scout, recruiter, and social media creator for a university football team.

Dave's passions extend beyond the classroom and football field. He is an avid fan of live music and international travel, often combining these interests. He has traveled to Spain, England, Iceland, and Chile to see bands perform. His greatest pride and joy is his daughter, who has recently excelled in powerlifting. In just a few years, she has become the Canadian record holder for the bench press in her weight class and finished second overall in the combined national event (bench, deadlift, and squat) in Moose Jaw in March 2024. She will be representing Canada at the World Bench Competition in Austin, Texas, in May 2024.

A die-hard fan of the Las Vegas Raiders, Dave has experienced his share of sports heartache, having seen them play in seven NFL cities with six losses. His all-time favorite athlete is Don Mattingly, reflecting his deep love for sports that spans many arenas.
