TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said he was privately approached about his interest in becoming the NFL's next commissioner. Bush said Tuesday the issue was discussed at a recent meeting with Patrick Rooney Sr., according to the 'South Florida Sun-Sentinel'.

Rooney's brother is Dan Rooney, owner of Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers and co-chair of the search committee looking to replace the retiring Paul Tagliabue.

This story is both interesting and terrifying for me. We know the Bush family are traditionally sports fans, but their focus has always been baseball first. I'm not sure what would qualify Jeb Bush as a candidate for NFL Commish and it really makes me wonder what other prominent politicos might have been questioned--and would any of them ever been questioned if Ms. Rice hadn't first introduced the notion of the Washington Insider as NFL comish to begin with?
