Davidson was supposedly offered the Rangers GM position during the Mike Keenan - Neil Smith power struggle that extended all the way to the top of the Garden brass.
It came out in the grapevine, that one MSG contingent who backed Keenan was prepared to oust Neil Smith, and reached out to JD as a potential replacement. JD was grilled by the local media over it, I remember. He was put in an awkward spot.
At any rate, I believe what he said then holds even more true today - That he's very happy in television and having his family in New York, and has no aspirations of running any team in any city.
I don't agree that he's a moron. I think he's an excellent analyst. He is most certainly a Rangers homer, however. He's at his best calling games that don't involve the Rangers.
