I think every single knowledgable, die-hard Bills fan would agree.

agreed. however, does the title bother you? that's not a grammatically correct sentence. as a byline, it should just read, "Bills are run like GM."

petpeeve, i suppose.

GM had good years earlier in this decade. Bills haven't.

Every car company posted large losses and laid employees off in 2008. The car market is crap. But in the NFL some teams always seem to be strong.

GM had good years because nobody cared that the behemoth refused to change and gas wasn't an issue. Nobody cared that they didn't redesign cars to make them more efficient. The technology to make cars more efficient was there but they didn't care to look to the future. They also started making cars so ugly that it's obvious nobody would want them - look at the HHR. And employees kept being overpaid with their rich contracts that they didn't deserve. Unions are a joke, but the auto unions are the biggest jokes of all. Employees were being paid $80 an hour when you include all benefits, just to work on a line, turning a screw. All the while, asian car companies were paying $40 an hour including benefits.

Put it all together and you have an inefficient whale destined to go down. As Warren Buffett once said, it isn't until the tide goes out that you see who has been swimming naked. The tide being this recession.
