Quote Of The Day:

"Before he cleans out his office, have Paul Tagliabue show you where he keeps Gene Upshaw's leash. By making the docile head of the players union his personal pet, your predecessor has kept the peace without giving players the kind of guarantees other pros take for granted. Try to make sure no one competent ever replaces Upshaw on your watch."

-- Bryant Gumbel embarrassing my last name under the guise of giving "advice" to new commissioner Roger Goodell.

What mean this?

Did you lift the quote from someone whose last name was also Gumbel, and who was writing about Bryant Gumbel's "advice"?

Gumbell is kissing the players butts (could help him get some interviews) while at the same time trying to stir up a controversy (can help generate ratings).

Self promotion at Upshaws expense.

I don't know about everyone else, but I didn't read the Daily Update until just now. As far as the difficulty of figuring it out, I guess everyone just isn't as brainy as you staffers, and that's why you get paid the big bucks.
