Hunter2_1 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Jerry is currently leaning back on his swivel chair, in his leather-clad, oak-furnished office, feet up on his desk, single malt whiskey in the tumbler to his left, cigar in his mouth, hands behind head - smirking.

Some might say that he’s kind of a big deal; his books smell of leather and rich mahogany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The NFL is so close to bottoming out. I feel like if the Patriots win one more Super Bowl and then if there's a strike, it will reach MLB from a few years ago levels. Goodell needs to get fired. Oversaturation of football. Not ending the kneeling controversy when it started (there were ways of handling that that would have been sensitive to both viewpoints in which it wouldn't be an issue at all). Politics in football (football is supposed to be a break from that), player "safety" rules changing the very nature of the game. A lack of talent. A severe lack of QB talent. Only a fake parity (how many teams legitimately have a shot at a Super Bowl each year). The NFL can't afford many more mistakes, and if the owners are in such disarray, there are going to be a lot more mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I really hope this isn't true. I want Jerry around as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Jerruh is stubborn enough to take the Cowboys - roster, stadium and all - and start up his own league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people say that it was a good thing for players to "express their rights", but people wanna watch football to get away from real life. Like they do when they watch movies, or play video games. They may say they support it and agree with it, but it annoys the silent majority who want to get away and just relax. Whether they agree with it or not.

warfelg Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Interesting thing I've heard: Some newer owners want to use this as a way to get Jerry to put Cowboys merchandise back into the revenue sharing pool. That it's less about actually getting him out and more about them lining their pocket more. Ultimately I think this ends with Jerry ending his thing against Goodell, the owners ending their beef with Jerry, and the usual contentious things continuing on.

ThatJerkDave Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 As an NFL owner, I fully support removing Jerry from the pool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jch1911 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Remember when Jerruh had the Nike swoosh painted on his stadium even though the NFL had an apparel deal with Reebok... Good times! (I actually use a variation of that as a case in several sport management classes.) Also, just so we're all clear, Jerruh is the same guy who fired a coach who just won him two Super Bowl rings because he wouldn't have drink with him (among other "reasons"). But as was noted above, Al Davis did a lot "worse" and was never removed as an owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phire Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 0 percent chance this comes to fruition. Maybe even a negative chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchFalcon Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'm just surprised that with the NFL being a pretty much perfect cashcow for the vast majority of parties involved it still turns into such a mess at the highest levels. Funny how extreme greed tends to cause situations as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 As I said in the OP, this isn’t going to come to fruition. But the problem is that teams are even discussing this. There’s clearly a large scale divide between the two sides if Jones is looking to oust Goodell and some owners are looking to oust Jones. This could get really messy even if they don’t get to the point of attempting to force him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
