I have never seen an owner since that would invest so much into a sports franchise to obtain the pinnacle of success. He was truly one of the greatest owners in league history. An owner that would spend whatever it took to win in a time in the NFL when that was possible.


Yeah, except he cheated his fellow owners.

After Debartolo left Jim Drunkenmiller walks into John Yorks' office asking for the under the table payout Eddie promised him so they could get under the cap in 2004.

Heck of a guy.
