Reed83HOF Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Ed WerderVerified account @EdwerderRFA 6m6 minutes ago More I believe the #NFL is not technically fining #Cowboys owner Jerry Jones but seeking repayment for approximately $2M in legal expenses relative to his threats to sue the league. NFL Finance Committee and other owners supported repayment allowed by bylaws in place over 2 decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 That's just a contract fee for a Super Bowl appearance vs the patriots next February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 If Jones gets fined it is wrong. What would he be fined for? For having a different opinion from the rest of the herd and pushing for his case? His claims could be legitimate or well off target. It doesn't matter. He is entitled to his view and is entitled to pursue it. Jones is an egotistical and bombastic person. He threatened to sue because he was on the losing side of the argument. Ultimately, he didn't sue. So how did he harm the league or any other owners, and the insufferable commissioner. Jones position that Goodell was going to be overpaid was not an unreasonable position. Goodell is the commissioner of the NFL. He's not Putin who disposes of people who challenge his authority. On this issue I'm on the side of the tiresome talker from Dallas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not defending Goodell here, but I’m sure you understand that Jones threats did in fact cost the league and it’s owners money. Jones hired a lawyer and was ready to sue, which in turn then caused the league to hire lawyers and prepare to defend itself. I’m sure that pissed a lot of the other owners off. And it’s not a fine, it’s rembursement. Almost like a being an !@#$ fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
