I hope that there is a real group of owners that stupid and enough balls to be taken quickly to court and thrashed for blatant stupidity in the real world. Jerry, by NFL standards, is no eye sore waiting to be punished.

I'd quit watching the NFL entirely, if that ran the course...

Get your wade boots on, we are going in deep water.

NY Times, what do you expect.

If they take draft picks I'm driving to NYC.

If they take draft picks I am done. You can count on that. I'll never watch another NFL game.

Been a Jerry hater for a long time, but I'm on his side on this one and he has probably won me over with his stance now.

I've hated Jerry as a GM. I never really hated him as a person. He always seemed to be the kind of guy you could just hang out with. The players love him. Just wish he would have stepped back and gave a real GM a chance to work wonders with this franchise. The guy would have been loved in Dallas.

This goes to illustrate the mindset of far too many NFL owners who think they can misuse their power anytime it suits them.

The NFL would be much better off if too many of them weren't quite so disposed to cutting off their noses to spite their face.

Is Jerry included with this?

The NFL already has me on the edge of not watching as it is. This year, if the Cowboys aren't on, I'm not watching as it is. Life is bad enough at times that watching football was the one thing I really enjoyed. Now with refs being flag happy, Zeke, Goodell, players political views being displayed on the field, etc., I've lost the passion to watch.

I was referring to those owners who don't hesitate to punish their own, like Zeke and Jerry, who are only there to serve them. Turning their backs on their own employees and partners will only serve to bring harm to themselves and their organizations in the future. It's just counter productive. They're the same morons responsible for abusing their power to enable and encourage Goodell to put the screws to Zeke.

Draft picks....I mean really?

Even the mention of that makes me boil.

Same here. Even Al Davis wasn't getting threats like this when he was suing the league regularly.

To read about this and these owners siding with Goodell despite everything that's happening and attacking Jerry Jones for being outspoken against it? It sickens me, and it shows me how out of touch and clueless these guys truly are.

But yeah, go that route. Kill the golden goose that gave you the right to print money. Drive your fans away. The fans who line your pockets. And then be clueless enough to wonder why it's all fallen down.

Well I call it jealousy cause even though others have won rings, they still aren't more important than Jerry and the Cowboys for the league.

What upsets me is this ain't some internet blog, tweet, snapchat, or whatever social media you like.

Its the freaking NY Times.

It's being leaked from the NFL office. You can count on that.

I'm in Jerry's corner, but he doesn't help himself when he's referring to himself as the "ranking owner" when talking to these guys. The league is built on 32 teams being equally represented, even if one team or one owner is more successful, you don't throw it in people's faces. That's dumb.

That said, these other owners should also realize that Jones and the Cowboys make them all rich. Very rich. And Goodell and his inept administration do nothing but to take that money away. With lawsuits, bad press, and their failure to resolve the anthem thing.

What upsets me is this ain't some internet blog, tweet, snapchat, or whatever social media you like.

What upsets me is that more owners aren't smart enough to realize that Jones is right and there's no way that Goodell should be kept around.

This is exactly what I have always said. I think Jerry-the-Owner is the best owner in the league. While some may hate his persona, I like it and I like his passion for the team. I also like that he talks about any and everything so the fans constantly know what's going on with the team, good and bad.

What I have never liked is Jerry-the-GM. I think Jerry-the-GM is no better at GM than many of us would be. I do believe he has been letting go of more GM decisions and listening more to his staff and scouts in the past few years, but with him still lingering as "GM" in title, there will always be doubts, finger pointing, etc. at every decision the team makes regarding players, coaches, etc.

Jerry should realize he's in his golden years now and he should be willing to hire a real GM and let that GM choose the coaches and players. Jerry-the-Owner will always be a media magnet so he will still get all of the attention he gets now, but with none of the blame as he can blame it all on the GM and his staff going forward.
