vincec Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Today I read that a professional golfer was penalized 12 strokes for having tiny stickers attached to his club to measure his club speed, angle, etc. during a round. He accepted the (absurd) penalty without complaint and complimented the rules officials for doing their jobs. Meanwhile in the NFL, players beat women, do drugs and cheat during games. When penalties are imposed they appeal to the Supreme Court if necessary to get them reduced or eliminated, and if the commissioner gets in the way or causes trouble, the Owners push to get him replaced.

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Jerry Jones is a class act through and through. I hate Jerry but Goodell is worthless. Guy is a joke and his only good quality is he is just a punching bag for the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 so basically when a new commissioner gets hired we should expect them to be "Yes men" to Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft It is their league, they are the owners of 'Americas team' & 'Satans Team'........... Jerrys a scumbag, hes just throwing a tantrum cause his new 'Boy Toy' running back is being punished for doing something bad and its going to hurt his team. He would be standing by Roger if this had been someone on any of the other league teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) @AdamSchefter A group of owners, including Jerry Jones, is trying to hijack Roger Goodell’s proposed extension, per @mortreport and me.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 "You don't get to have this many messes over the years like Roger has had and survive it," said one owner on the call. The NFL would need 24 owners to approve Goodell's ouster, and owners are skeptical that this can get accomplished. But one person involved in this week's conference call compared the NFL's current situation with Goodell to Major League Baseball's previous situation with Fay Vincent in September 1992, when baseball owners voted 18-9 to force him out, leaving Bud Selig to take over as the interim commissioner.

I would love it if the NFL had a new commissioner. Goodell has bungled a lot of things. Goodell over exposed the product with the lame Thursday games and the London games. He !@#$ed up the Ray Rice situation and now isn't doing the best job with the anthem situation. Goodell also isn't effectively modernizing the game and utilizing technology effectively either.

Fadingpain Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Bingo--totally agree. Those 2 are the absolute caricature of the greedy owner who will do anything to win, rules or fair play be d*mned, and then love to play the sanctimonious good guy. They're both beyond disgusting..... Well you can take solace in knowing they are both old men and don't have a ton of productive years left.

They're as much to blame as Goodell, for all of what you mentioned. Goodell directly handled the Ray Rice and Anthem situations poorly to say the least. And both of those mistakes have cost the league dearly in recent years and is resulting in a ratings dip. Decades of ratings growth and now the ratings slow down after two very bad PR disasters? Also the general overexposure of the product can be attributed to the recent ratings dip. Revenue is coming from newly inked TV deals that were made when the product was more popular. The NFL's product might not attract an insane price for its TV deals that expire over the next decade if ratings continue to disappoint. They need to turn around the recent ratings slump quickly and the person to do that isn't the guy that made all the mistakes that got you into this mess.

oldmanfan Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Goodell has increased the bottom line and league profits. Each owner's franchise is worth more than what they paid originally, in some case a lot more. As for punishment the players gave him the power to be judge, jury, and executioner and he uses it. He has been inconsistent at times with punishment, but the only time you hear a peep from an owner is if its his player affected. The anthem thing - he is walking a thin line between jingoistic fans and players who feel they have a legitimate grievance about unequal police actions and want to voice their opinion. Overall he has done his job. Not perfectly but he's certainly not a train wreck. And now you have an owner in Jones that is butt hurt because it's his player. An owner who preaches morality but doesn't appear to practice it at times. An owner who signs guys like Greg Hardy and Elliott and wants to preach to the rest of the league. A guy who wants to divide the league into have and have nots along with Kraft, Snyder and McNair. Jones gets his way it starts the end of the NFL. He'll put in a puppet commissioner, there will be a strike next CBA. The average fan will have to pay either insanely high ticket prices to see the game in person or to stream coverage. Coverage will be pay per view as CBS etc. will decide to not be held hostage, especially as viewership erodes. Franchises will fold or move. i think Mark Cuban is an overofficious jerk at times, but he's right on this one. Greed may kill the NFL. Goodell understands that. Jones personifies it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 This is a bigger deal than it may seem. What Jerry is doing could threaten the entire system - parity, the salary cap, etc. I wonder if this is just his first salvo with an eye toward all of that. He probably resents that he just gets one vote despite a larger market share. I’m very curious to see how this plays out, especially with the collective bargaining agreement coming up for renegotiation. And I can’t help but keep thinking about Mark Cuban’s “pigs get slaughtered” comment. The NFL as we know it may be coming to an end soon...
