One of the more shocking revelations from the article involves Johnson’s use of players' Madden video game ratings as a factor in football-related decisions. The bizarre nature of this decision-making process raises eyebrows not only among critics and fans but even within the team.

The culture, as described by Rini, facilitates an environment where decision-making is ineffective and lacking the depth necessary for success.
