Question regarding the history of Mara of the Giants

[jazzcat22]

Another reason, that I want GB to knock off NY in the playoffs. I do not like GB at all, they are almost up there with my hate for the Steelers. But NY is right there also.
Both NY & GB gets favoritism from the refs...so who gets it more this weekend. It will be interesting.
I truly want them to beat each other up...will need a lot of body bags....

Seems to be a belief that he tries to sabotage our Boys. What is the history and when did it began? Not saying I don't believe it but enough people on here keep saying it so I'm starting to belive it. My Grandmother once told me not everyone can tell the same lie. If people keep saying something the truth can't be far off

There was a description of ownership, when Dallas was given to Murchison...'old money.' That was written in stone back then, but Jerry confronted the 'good ol' boys.' Resentments and a sense of entitlement have followed ever since. That arrogance was firmly displayed as recently as about three years ago, by the NFC East opponent and it's players. Cheap shots and flippant behavior on the field itself.

The first trashing of the opponent's dressing room in the AT&T Stadium, was by a New York Giant.

Take it for what that is worth...

Exudes lunacy and meanness.

about a $1.00 in cleaning supplies?

Might be $10 dollars for the purchase of graffiti remover...good point

Those people need to all be gathered and shot into space without space suits. Right before they die, they can look back at Earth and realize they were just a bunch of *** holes.

Ha, so I take it you're not believing in the flat Earth. I agree though, we should take Mara and shoot him into space without a spacesuit with the rest of them.

Other 2 teams?

Saints and Raiders.

Bosom Buddies comes to mind...

Such a happy looking couple

Only the NFL would allow Mara to push the issue of a wished upon Gentlemen's Agreement being pushed by the benefitting party, the Giants. The NFL punished, both NFC East teams, the Cowboys and Washington following the lockout negotiations.

He's illuminati. Him, the Rooney's and Kraft.

Don't forget to include the shareholders of the Green Bay Packers as well.

BTW, if I had a son he wouldn't look like Bushwick Bill

There's a massive bitterness in the Mara family over how Jerry Jones and the new money owners swooped in and got Paul Tagliabue elected as commissioner. Wellington Mara and the rest of the old money were furious.

Roger: boss I'm trying my best

Jerry: he's gonna sit there until I say he's done

Jerry: see this ring. I'm the lord of the illuminati
Roger: yes my master

Jerry: you do what I told you to do. Nothing more nothing less

Saints and Raiders.

They were not penalized because front loading their players contracts in a non cap year. They could not take part with the other 28 teams of what the Cowboys (10 mil) and Commanders (30mil) were docked and spread over two years during FA. Saints were embroiled in bounty gate at the time and Davis and the Raiders were embroiled in a law suit with the NFL for them wanting to move.

Did you mean to type that the Saints and Raiders did not restructure (front-load) player contracts or that they did? I have no idea how they "violated" the uncapped year, but I know that the Cowboys restructured Austin's contract to front-load a lot of his bonus money during the non-capped year. Either way, if all 4 teams were deemed taking advantage of the BS "Gentlemen's Agreement", then they all needed to be punished in the same theme (respective hits to their future cap-space). Their punishment of being left-out of the share of money poached from WAS and DAL is nothing like getting your salary cap getting chopped while trying to field a team.

Honestly it's just fun to curse him because his face looks like an anus with glasses.

He looks like the dude that the pigs ate his face in the silence of the lambs films

You hit it right on the head here. Wellington Mara who passed away in 2005 didn't care for the way Jerry ran business in the 90's. The Mara's and The Jones Family have always had bad blood between each other. They both have taken shots at each other for years. And I'll even include Steve Tisch who always likes to take his shots at the Cowboys as well. I still remember when Mara said "its nice to arrogance humbled" when the Giants beat the Cowboys in the playoffs in 07.

The Saints and the Raiders did not front load their players contract. They were in dispute with the NFL for the other things. The Cowboys and Commanders were docked money they could not use for FA those two years. Snyder and Jones were smarter than 30 other owners and were penalized accordingly. Jones is a forward thinking owner when it comes to the business side of things.

DAL did exactly what they weren't supposed to do with Miles Austin's contract and the contract was put the way it should have been.....there was no penalty

We stole 10m of cap space and paid back 10m of cap space

A lot of DAL fans looked for the boogeyman to blame instead of our FO and they picked Mara

DAL should have just dumped bad contracts in 2010 like everyone else did....we tried to get cute and got our hand smacked....no biggie

If enough people told you to jump off a bridge, would you do that too....
