Man, Goodell must hate the Cowboys.

The networks are the power behind the scheduling, not Goodell.

I have ask forum members this before. take a look at this BS the last few years.
10 million dollar cap hit for nothing. there was no cap that year. and Mara said Jerry was lucky he did not lose draft picks.
And now the Greg Hardy 10 games suspension today. 10 games! are you kidding me? Goodell's bias for the New York teams is clear. you think Hardy would have got 10 games if the Giants had got him ?
And the Dez catch overturn, which has been defended by the NFL to this day.
I think it's clear cowboys fans. Roger Goodell is anti-cowboys. and my question is WHY DOES JERRY KEEP TAKING THIS BS FROM GOODELL AND MARA. just look at his statement after the BS Goodell and Mara pulled today.
Jerry's Statement
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This suspension is something that we anticipated prior to Greg’s signing, and we respect the Commissioner’s ruling,” the statement reads. “Our organization understands the very serious nature of this matter. We will use our resources — work closely with Greg and with the league — to ensure a positive outcome..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did not expect him to come out and blast Goodell. but it would have been better to say no comment. and make it clear that he did not agree with this decision. the idea that Jerry said he respects this BS decision does not sit right with me.Goodell went to far yet again. just like he did with the 10 Million dollar cap hit. and as long as Jerry won't throw a fit about these things. the screw jobs will keep coming. some where in NY city Goodell and Mara are smiling. they just love sticking it to the cowboys.

Mark Cuban protested the refs and every move made by the NBA for years and it just made things worse.

I assume that Jerry's top reason for playing nice is that he wants to host more Super Bowls; although, I don't know if Goodell is really the deciding factor in where the SBs are played.

I still shake my head at how Goodell and Mara took $10 million dollars of our salary cap away for front loaded contracts.

First of all, there was no salary cap that year and second, the contracts were all already reviewed and approved by the league and Goodell.

Jerry and Snyder would have won in court if they would have fought that, but they just let it go.

Because Jerry already knows what is going to happen on appeal. Wink wink.

You could be on to something.

Jerry playing the same game as Goodell. Acting like he is fine with the sentence, knowing the NFLPA will appeal and do his dirty work for him.

Doomsday101 · Apr 23, 2015

If you look from 2006 on (Goodell took office) there is nothing to suggest the Cowboys are somehow singled out. hell NY Giants have had more suspended than Dallas

It would be the intelligent thing to do.

Blackspider214 · Apr 23, 2015

I would not put any trust in the NFLPA doing us a favor. They are extremely weak and allow the league and the owners to just run all over them. I would not trust them going to bat for me. They will but they have very little power.

Agreed, it would be the only way to not come off as approving of domestic abuse.

This is not about the Cowboys and doing us any favors of not. It is about hardy. This is why no one else was touching him, it is why Dallas gave him a contract that was almost entirely based on incentives. This has nothing to do with the Cowboys organization it has everything to do with Hardy and what most around the league expected that would happen and it has

10 games. though? After missing 15 last year. It's a bit of overkill even in this current climate of zero tolerance for DV.

I believe Hardy should be suspended for the season. I'm not into ruining somebody's career for mistakes, even pretty horrible ones. But, I do believe that he has a problem and needs help first and foremost. Then he has to show that he can be a quality citizen and then we can start talking about him getting back into football.

To me, that is what matters most. And I don't begrudge Jerry for signing Hardy. As I said, I don't believe in for some bad behavior. Of course, there's always a line that can be crossed, but I don't think Hardy has quite crossed that line and I would like to see him rehabilitated.

The issue I have is that the league continually allows for conflicts of interest to be involved in their decisions. It just looks bad and in Goodell's case, the league's credibility which he gushes about at every chance he gets, takes a hit.

The league did not suspend him last season

Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy has been placed on the NFL's commissioner exempt list until his domestic violence case is resolved.
The team made the decision on Wednesday after meeting with the 2013 Pro Bowl selection and his agent at Bank of America Stadium.

Hardy's attorney, Chris Fialko, consistently has said the case likely will not be heard until sometime in 2015 because of the case backload.
The Panthers made the move Wednesday afternoon, less than 24 hours after the Minnesota Vikings made the same decision with embattled running back Adrian Peterson.
By going on the exempt list, Hardy still will be paid his weekly portions of a $13.1 million salary as team's franchise tag. Had the league suspended him without pay, he would have forfeited salary.

DUDE!!!! You're so right. He should charge in there like Rambo in First Blood. Shoot up the place like Rambo does. Manly sweat going all over the place while Jerry is yelling and looking cool with his bandana on. Then he'll grab Goodell and throw him on the desk and take out his big knife and slam it into Goodell's desk. That will totally teach them cowboys haters to hate on the Cowboys!!!! AMIRITE?????

1) Screw Mara and Goodell.

2) Let the Cowboys do the talkin' with their pads.

3) Watch Mara cringe as Goodell stands around with his thumb up his........

4) Priceless.

Fmart322 · Apr 23, 2015

I think the NFL has dirt on Jerry Jone. Plus, he wants AT&T to host more Super Bowls. That's the only reason he takes their crap.

Why does Jerry Jones just keep sitting back taking it from Goodell and Mara?
