Jerry trying to "hijack" Goodell's new contract extension

[Zordon]

I wonder who the other owners are. Why aren't they being named?

Probably b/c Jerry is the source for this story. Him and Mort are tight.

Jones, Kraft, New Orleans owner probably want him out for the obvious reasons. Wonder who else dislikes him.

Any owner watching the TV ratings decline.

An easier question and much shorter list would be, "who likes him?"

Maybe his mom and dog. They usually are very forgiving.

I'd bet he kicks his dog.








And maybe his Mom too.

McNair is specifically mentioned in the story. But I don't think it's Jerry. The story reeks of NFL front office spin.

It's about time you post something good! Thank you for making our day. Go Dak!

Jones, Kraft, New Orleans owner probably want him out for the obvious reasons. Wonder who else dislikes him.

the obvious one is the Texans owner who has expressed frustration with the lack of leadership in the league office, per the article.

I think the ratings and the protests are bigger concerns than the suspensions, owners care about money...

AL Davis was close, change the first two words to "Goodell" and then you have something

I've never hated Goodell like a lot of people do but you cannot argue with the fact that he has made a ton of mistakes, starting with Ray Rice.

He has allowed this anthem stuff to spiral out of control. He has also allowed what many are calling an oversaturation of the game(Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday football), leading to a dip in ratings.

I said a long time ago if Goodell was ever fired, Jones would be the best at leading the charge. Other owners would fall in line I suspect rather easily. Make an enemy of Jones and you seal your fate. Goodell needs to feel that heat.

Here is the article for those that did not read it.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...ack-roger-goodell-proposed-contract-extension

Sources have previously said Jones has tried to stand in the way of any extension for Goodell. Last month, ESPN reported that Jones was impeding the progress of contract negotiations aimed at an extension for Goodell. "If not for Jerry," one owner said last month in regard to the contract negotiations, "this deal would be done."

I think the have nots. Smaller markets will want to keep him. All about the $

Here is another article. 17 owners opposed to goodell being renewed on his contract including Jerry.

I would think the exact opposite. Networks are openly regretting the last tv deal and with the current issues with protests and declining ratings I would be fearful of declining revenue of I were a small market owner.

 

[Hardline]

I can't believe it's not been mentioned here but Jerry was locked out of the last NFL meeting with the owners over the national anthem issue. I'm sure the division between Jerry and Goodell is wider than we think.

 

[diefree666]

The article mentions that it would take 24 owners to approve a new commissioner but doesn't mention how many it takes to approve the extension. But it's a pro-Goodell article. The owners aren't highjacking anything. They are making decisions in the best interest of their franchises.

Logically it would take the same number to approve any change in the commissioners status from firing to hiring to extensions.

2 ESPN articles this week are hit pieces on Jerry

Make NO Mistake...... ESPN wants to stick it to Jerry

I do not view it that way. IMO it shows how much say Jerry has with the league.

THE best commissioner would be Jerry Jones himself. If he left the Cowboys to his kids to run and took up the Commissioners job, that would be a huge win for the future of the NFL. Unfortunately the optics would not look good on that. Too many would complain he would give the Cowboys preferential treatment.
