WP: NFL Owners Increasingly Favor Disciplinary Action Against Jones

[Toomany10pins]

I truly wonder if behind closed doors the league gave Zeke a boat load of money in exchange for no further legal action.

Nope.

I'm increasingly in favor of not watching the NFL (outside the Cowboys) anymore.

I'm already there.

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

This is fake news.

All this silliness from the NFL.

So the NFL is blaming Jerry for ratings loss & other crap? They need a scapegoat.

That is what it smells like

 

[mahoneybill]

I'm so teetering on edge of walking away from the NFL. Tyrant league of corrupt billionaires with bizarre values--often no values.

I won't tune in except to watch some of Cowboys game tonight.

Stopped watching any games other than Dallas.

Lol @ goodell "going to be extended".

They really just don't care do they?

 

[Deep_Freeze]

I'm more worried about them taking draft picks.

If they want, they could do it, and what could we do about it.....nothing.

Pretty much. They're not taking the Cowboys away from Jerry but I wouldn't put this past them.

If they were to stoop that low, the Cowboys may just forget to show up and carry the ratings for the rest of the NFL.

 

[mahoneybill]

I think most fans of other teams, also know that Goodell is a piece of crap.

I live near Philadelphia. Most eagles fans I have talked to think that the Zeke suspension is Goodell having too much power. They all say they don’t mind because ya not having Zeke helps the eagles, but they recognize that the entire situation is a mess and shouldn’t have happened.

And they know they can face the same thing once someone convinces a person to claim DV against their star player.

 

[Corso]

It would be stupid and feeding the machine to boo Roger at the draft.
It makes good television.

You want to piss the Commander In Chief of the NFL off?
Be as blase and who cares as possible.

No boos. No cheers. Just loud talking to each other. Major portions of the stadium should walk to the concessions during other teams' picks.
Who cares?

Screw the NFL and them manipulating us into what they want us to do.



Edit: It will never ever happen though... I'm a pie-in-the-sky guy.

Then face even more ramifications from that act.

It's really a no win battle unless we are going to start the USFL by ourselves again.

 

[mahoneybill]

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

May be but for questioning why a new contract when ratings going down, and turmoil with the fans, and certainly the perception of an uncontrolled czar dolling out whatever he feels like regarding suspensions

Lets see how long the other owners can stand losing all their highest rated games and thereby highest generating ad revenue games.

Most of their teams couldn't touch Dallas in ratings if they advertised it for a year.

 

[mahoneybill]

Because it isn’t about Zeke and never been about it.. that’s how certain people are trying to paint it. I’d argue that it was Goodell that used Zeke to try and force Jerry to bend on salaries and restructuring the salaries of a bloated NFL headquarters..

Interesting theory. You could be on to something

Rodger to JJ . You help me . I Find nothing on Zeke

JJ to Rodger.. No way he’ s innocent, you know it, and you are hurting the league and are overpaid.

Rodger to self..... ok. I’ll show you

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

How many player who wear the star have been suspended in recent years? Good players? Lawrence? Irving?

How many did Jerry take issue with like this?

Stop drawing your arguments with crayons. However you feel about Jerry's action, this isn't happening just because Zeke happens to be a Cowboy.

True, but they might hate Jerry more, and not care.

No, Zeke is a Cowboys who got screwed. Have there been players on other teams that got the shaft too? I don't know, but Kraft thinks Brady did. Where was Jerry?

Who cares where Jerry was when Tom Brady got suspended? I mean, really? Jerry doesn't own the Patriots. It's not his job to flex his muscle there when fans think the commissioner did something unfair. That's Bob Kraft's job.

And, yeah, the difference between Zeke's suspension and other Cowboys' suspensions is that Zeke got screwed. That's sort of the point.
