Duchess Jack Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Rice Says She Won't Apply for NFL Post By Associated Press Posted March 22 2006, 12:26 PM EST NASSAU, Bahamas -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a big football fan, ruled out applying for the job of NFL commissioner after Paul Tagliabue retires. "Unfortunately, it came open at the wrong time," Rice said Wednesday, clearly amused when a reporter posed the question. "Obviously, I'm very busy as secretary of state, and I intend to continue to be secretary of state as long as the president of the United States will have me." Rice, an avid follower of the Cleveland Browns and pro football in general, has frequently said she aspires to run the league one day. In the days since Tagliabue announced he would retire in July, Rice's aides have said she was not interested. Rice spoke while in the Bahamas to meet with 14 foreign ministers and the secretary general of the Caribbean Community and Common Market, a regional trade bloc.
