There were only 32 general managers in the National Football League. And if you lose that job, unlike most jobs, you lose your job. I've often wondered what that does to your taste for risk and decision making. Stan Kroenke: "At the end of the day, make that an adventure"
After nearly 12 years as general manager for the L.A.
