If I recall correctly they need 24 owners to do anything important. Just 9 are enough to scuttle any extension.There were 17 owners involved in that meeting. If he's opposed by that many owners, Goodell's not getting an extension.

I *think* his extension is handled by a committee of around 6 team owners who were selected by all of the owners a while back to oversee and approve an extension for Goodell. The term "hijack" is semi-correct here because Jerry is (was) not on that committee.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.
This goes beyond the Elliott situation now as the NFL brand and product is suffering from several angles, so I'm not surprised that more of the team owners are starting to reconsider what's best for the league and their teams.
They certainly should! I was shocked when I had first heard about any extension, especially given the state of the league.
I honestly haven't seen a dingiest positive thing Goodell has done since fleecing the players in the last CBA. And that accomplishment only goes so far.
And the NFL holds all the cards in a work stoppage situation so the CBA wasn't some great accomplishment that can't be done by someone else.
Jones, Kraft, New Orleans owner probably want him out for the obvious reasons. Wonder who else dislikes him.
The key is they have nowhere else to display their talent. Unlike the other major sports.Oh, exactly right. When you've got players that spend their money faster than they make it, you're going to lose every standoff.
These owners are billionaires. They can afford to wait it out.
