"I do believe his legal knowledge was useful to a league continually trying to deal with the players union. That's not a legacy I respect much."
Not surprised my friend. You have always taken the employee's side when it came to issues with employers. I believe its generic.
As far as the league not respecting Shaw has "stopped". Not so. He is still well respected among ownership and is often called to consult with them on significant matters-not the least being stadium funding and television rights and revenue. He is not sitting alone in his office on Pico Blvd. in West L.A.

It's true that I am not one of the automatic pro-management types. Anyway. Yeah Shaw's a finance guy. But I wasn't remarking on that. I was talking about his history as a team-builder and team manager. Anyone consult with him on THAT? Cause if so, while they're at it they could consult with Putin on how to support civil liberties.
