WP: NFL Owners Increasingly Favor Disciplinary Action Against Jones

[Hardline]

I've been wondering if the Cowboys could join the Canadian football league.

This is such a backwards argument. Perhaps Jerry saw the two situations differently?

Of course Jerry saw the two situations differently. Zeke wears the Star

"'Roger will be extended, and Jerry will be dealt with,' said one of those people familiar with the owners’ sentiments."

More leak/agenda type reporting.

The ESPN article was the only legit report that I've seen. All other are just unnamed source headline type trash.

If Goodell and his minions were so sure of the extension they would not be doing all this leaking and talking. This smells of desperation on their part.

If the NFL takes draft picks. Then I will be done watching for a while.

Can NFL teams leave the league? Imagine if Jerry and a bunch of other owners took their teams and started their own league. What teams would leave w him? Maybe, the skins and pats? Who else? It's a pipe dream, I know, but it's fun to imagine.

If the Cowboys and Patriots leave, everybody but the Giants and Falcons would go with them.

Everyone other than homers sees Jerry will lose. Just like everything he knew Zeke would serve his suspension.

That's my deal.

Jerry is about to be in the same place as Elliott. You fight the big bad dog you generally come out on the losing end.

Now with Elliott I totally get it. It's your name on the line there young man so you should fight that. I have no issue with that.

With Jones....there's very little to gain and it could, and probably will, become very ugly in the process. Jerry isn't going to be the NFL. He's just not. This isn't the days when Al Davis could fight the league and win.

Jerry is playing a game that he's going to wind up losing at very badly and it's going to be bad for the Cowboys as well.

Rogah is going to take a page out of the NCAA handbook. Lose 5 roster spots per year for the next 5 years, banned from post season play for the next 3 and a couple of draft picks to boot.

You have no idea what is really going on behind the scenes. Some owner are on Jerry's side and some are against him. There is no way to know how many on each side.

He needs at least 9 to stop Goodell with a 75% vote

He made a lot of money for those guys in CIN, JAX, CLE, GB etc

Anyone can do Goodell's job

So what if the league decides the punishment for Jones behavior is taking the number one draft pick for 2018 right after confirming Goodell as the fifty million dollar man?

I think it would get uglier. Like Jerry filing a lawsuit and things dragging through the courts. Just an ugly situation.

My thoughts exactly.

Al Davis, the sequel.

Jerry helped with some of the recent relocations. I'm sure those owners are on his side. Little Danny is with Jerry.

Yep but man it sucks to watch it unfold. The guys going with Jerry are going to get in line, leaving Jerry all by himself as the sole dissenter. If he keeps up the fight, we could be in court for years and might lose a pick or worse.

But I do hope they lose in the court of public opinion. That's the only way to take the monster down.

 

[erod]

I'm guessing they are gong to take away draft picks.

And it is in Dallas this year

No one would show up I hope

 

[LoneStarDawg]

I’ll say this...I’m glad to be a fan of a team whose owner stands up for what’s right! Roger is hated by fans across the country, yet owners of their teams are huddled up in his corner.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

This is such a backwards argument. Perhaps Jerry saw the two situations differently?

In any event, Jerry's not on the warpath over the suspension. He's on the warpath because he thinks they lied and manipulated him and then gave the suspension anyway.

And the Cowboys have had other players suspended before and Jerry never fought it. This is different. Goodell lied to him and Jerry feels that Zeke is innocent.

 

[Broges74]

A 1st round pick and 1 million Papa Johns pizzas............ book it

That may be enough to turn the tide against the NFL. Cowboys and Pats fans have already had enough of it.
