Goddell's contract and Zeke's potential suspension

[waldoputty]

Goddell may try to suspend Zeke for 6 games. Hmmm, how does Jerry get revenge. How do we get revenge. Has to be $. But makes no sense to stop watching Cowboys games.
I cannot figure out a way to cause NFL/Goddell $ without affecting Cowboys sales...

"Some NFL owners, as PFT has explained, want to use their leverage. More specifically, Jerry Jones, an influential owner not currently on the Compensation Committee, wants the contract to be negotiated by all owners, and not by just a handful of them.

The league’s official committee assignments as of 2016 show Falcons owner Arthur Blank (chairman), Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Texans owner Bob McNair, Giants co-owner John Mara, and Steelers owner Art Rooney II as the members of the group. (Kaplan reports that the list as of 2016 is the same as of now.) Whether Jones is simply miffed because he was omitted from the committee or whether he genuinely believes all owners should have a voice in the process, Jones has argued for greater involvement and oversight, in an effort to perhaps reduce the total expenditure on the Commissioner’s compensation package."

It will be the start of the end for Roger. Worst Commish ever, for any American Pro sports league.

Yup.

And that's saying a lot with Bud Selig as the litmus test.

If anyone's conduct is detrimental to the league, it's Goodell's.

 

[jrumann59]

Really at least two of Goodell's Boys are on the committee that decides his salary, talk about a conflict of interest.

It will be the start of the end for Roger. Worst Commish ever, for any American Pro sports league.

Judging by the NFL's $13 billion in revenue in 2016, and Goodell's $34 million contract, I suspect NFL owners do not agree.

 

[viman96]

You mess with the bull you get the horns...Let's go Jerry!

 

[Verdict]

It is ironic that some of the teams that I personally perceive to catch more breaks on calls, suspensions,etc have owners that are on that list.

That 13 billion dollar revenue can go much higher.

[cowboys1985]

It's not the end of Goodell, Goodell is acting on the behalf of other owners that want to see JJ suffer. It's the same way Goodell went on the Brady witch-hunt too.

 

[Hardline]

I've already said this twice.
Jerry needs to hire a private investigator and dig into Goodells past. Find some skeletons in his closet and make them public

I am willing to bet the NFL probably already went that route prior to Goodell being hired.

This is the only revenge I can think of that Jerry can do if 6 game suspension holds up:

1. Dak goes on sabbatical with Zeke to Argentina to play with loose woman. Jerry goes with them as well as Jaylon and Dez. The 5 amigos posts their happy trip on Cowboys mothership. This tanks the year and gets them a top 3 draft pick for war daddy.
2. A bad Cowboys team pisses off many owners and NFL because they will lose revenues and TV ratings as Cowboys games were how most of the top TV draws last year. Jerry can easily afford it, and he can turn home games into subtle Goddell hate fests.
3. Piss off NFL more by bringing in Kapernick to replace Dak for the year, Ray Rice for RB, and Hardy for RDE. This would also make it easier to keep Hardy for 2018 and 2019 because the contract would have 2 1-year options.
4. During the season, sue NFL for antitrust and HR violations.
5. As @Hardline said, hire PI to investigate Goddell and expose him.
6. Put bounty on Eli and an up and coming defensive player on the Giants when we play them. 15 yard penalties = bonus for the game.

Jerry can cut off his nose to get back at the NFL and Goddell.
As of Dec 19:
"Four of the five most watched NFL games this season, per Sports Media Watch, are Cowboys games. They are: Cowboys-Commanders on Thanksgiving (35.1 million); Cowboys-Steelers (28.9 million); Cowboys-Packers (28.0 million); Vikings-Lions (27.6 million) and Cowboys-Giants (27.5 million)."

Here what we do.

Hire Ray Rice and Josh Brown to sit on the sidelines and try to get in every camera shot during the games. Remind everyone each game how the NFL screwed up with these guys.

 

[Real1st]

My thing is the conflict of interest here. How are only a few owners are on that committee with Goddell? Especially when you consider two of those franchises have had 7 super bowl wins and some favorable rulings by the league.

The backdoor politics in the league just doesn't sit right with me.

also put hardy and randy gregory there and they should all be wearing "I LOVE GODDELL" t-shirts

 

[The Quest for Six]

If anyone's conduct is detrimental to the league, it's Goodell's.

The owners and most of the players disagree with you every time they look at their paycheck....Don't blame Goodell for Zeke's actions off the field.....

 

[The Quest for Six]

Hire Ray Rice and Josh Brown to sit on the sidelines and try to get in every camera shot during the games. Remind everyone each game how the NFL screwed up with these guys.

So it was the NFL's fault That Ray Rice knocked out his girlfriend and Josh Brown assaulted his wife.....

Why bother hiring a PI? Just baselessly yet loudly accuse him of something politically sensitive, like being a terrorist.

Apparently there is no longer any burden of proof.
