Bob Caswell: Blockbuster Offers to Buy Circuit City

    "game-changing retail concept"? Wow, these guys smoke the good stuff. Let's tie two boat anchors together and see if they float. Blockbuster should start/stop (which ever applies) outsourcing their top management.

    And don't even get me started on their supposed set-top box dreams.

    The problem with Circuit City started in the mid 90's when they adopted the dead weight of the companies they were acquiring. They attracted young talent fresh out of school but let them fester and leave in favor of the same managers that ran Wiz, Lechmere, Fretter and Highland into the ground. What you ended up with was the same result.
