Jerry Jones accused of undermining the NFL

[Center Ice]

They issued $500m in bonds, but the NFL only lent about $10m and that's been paid off. My point was the NFL wouldn't have a venue.

But the stadium was $1.5B, so Jerry has most of it. He also has all the parking and the nearby area that isn't Texas Rangers owned.

Love where the Rangers play. I did a fair bit of business in the area years ago and liked to hang my hat at the Legends Sports Bar in the stadium. What a great spot!!

Long gone are faceless NFL days of the 1960s and 70s. Back when people got sunburned sitting on a bench seat in a dated stadium, with a field that did not refrost, taking the bus to the game.

Went home to wives with pubic hair too.


I don't know what refrost means.

And eventually they will get an owner that doesn't give a fuck and will take the whole system down with him.

One memo about CTE coverup, or about collusion is all it would take. Trump's DOJ is in office, they would pounce and punish the hell out of the NFL.

Why would someone want to lose billions?

Bob Kraft owns the Patriots, the land and the stadium.

nevermind.

Bob Kraft owns the Patriots, the land and the stadium.

As does Dan Snyder

 

[Uhsplit]

Bingo.

But I'd still try to avoid it....

JJ is right. Goodell isn't all that and then some and there should be no rush to sign him up. Especially at that price.

Name a free agent option Goodell has?

Any number of hacks could come in and do what Goodell has done for less.

There is no doubt that I am a supreme hack and I am putting it out there that I should be able to replace that bum for a little bit less Ching wah.

Jerry certainly is trying to .. Might work out

Jerry has 4 billion reasons to care.

 

[Uhsplit]

The NFL would have to get rid of the Cowboys and football in Dallas. the NFL doesn't own the stadium, Jerry does. Jerry is stupid smart when it comes to the business and yeah, I think he could provide enough info to destroy the NFL if he turned over everything he knows about where the bodies are buried.

This was not a stupid smart move on Jerry's part. Stupid for sure though.

When you snap, you snap. There is a great documentary on it, called Falling Down.

Then you don't know shit about Jerry and his business moves.

You realize he has sued the NFL before, right? And he was villified. Then the other owners realized he just made them millions. So they loved him.

they need to STFU and get out of his way again.

I honestly pay little attention to the machinations of the NFL hierarchy. Other than hating most of it.

But I did manage to once hear something about others who could step up.

You may be THE ONE....

Are you saying this was all a smart business move?

Damn, can I buy my bar stool?

Interesting twist
Sources: Owners set meeting over Goodell deal

Jerry asks for an Owners meeting over the contract talks, that meeting gets denied, Jerry shows owners the contract details, now the meeting is on.
Could this remove Blank from the committee and be the beginning of the end for Goodell.

That was an awesome documentary.

It was a strange feeling to be rooting for Jerry Jones and be in his corner but he is absolutely right. I'm not sure I understand all the critical comments on Jones from other posters. Goodell is a disaster, we all know this. We should be cheering Jones on as he tries to do what is really right for the league and that is to replace that clown.

Destroying the league...if it has anything to do with fixing games...yes. Anything aside from that...eeh we agree to disagree on that.

This is a mute debate really...too much money is at stake for Jones to kill the Golden Goose. While I'm on JJ's side with the commish...his motives are too transparent...leave it alone much like Zeke has done...concede this and pick another battle. Difficult for men of his stature, but in the end that is what should happen.

Oh I don't think it's a coincidence that JJ changed his tune once Goddell's incompetence hurt his team. I will never understand this 6 game suspension.
