Let's cut Charlie Monfort a little slack here. He and his brother probably aren't smart or clever enough to have a "spin machine". I also think that Charlie genuinely wants to win, but doesn't have the foggiest idea HOW to win since he never has.
The problem is that the brothers Monfort don't want to win so badly that they'd sacrifice a year or two of profitablity in order to get there. They won't go into hoc to spend the $85 million or so needed to fill holes with proven talent. So I think while they want to win, they have an even bigger desire NOT to lose money while trying.
