Former #Dolphins president Mike Dee now has Garfinkel’s job in San Diego as the two will literally swap roles.

Kinda neat. And while a little weird — you don’t hear a ton about baseball executives becoming football executives and vice-versa — if you’re not on the actual sports operations side of things I presume the skills are pretty comparable. Promote team, sell tickets, make sure ballpark/stadium is functioning, sign checks, avoid doing things like making fun of their opposing players for their psychological problems.
You know, the usual.
