I think Millen might work well in this capacity on the Comp. Committee.

Y'know.... you might actually be right (although, I'd replace "common sense" with "simplistic").  I Didn't even think of that. If Millen was on the CC instead of Polian at the time, would we have the 'Ty Law rule emphasis'? I dunno. But, if Millen is a ' just let them play' type of guy, then yeah, I'd be all for that.
Plus, another added bonus I didn't think of... having to have the rest of the committee take the time to explain the new rule proposals and such to Mr. Millen, may actually slow down the influx of new rules. 
(I still can't believe he hasn't been fired yet, though) |
