ndirish1978 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Keyboard tough guy trying to puff himself up while putting other people down. Terry's opinion doesn't seem to have been isolated, as the league made rule changes based on this concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was called a "tool" because the author was mocking his "short-sighted" thinking. I suppose that term should be expanded to include most owners. Just saying singling him out for a comment is dumb when it represents a widely held position in that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Looks like a fabulous read, but it will only deepen my general hatred for NFL ownership, no doubt.

thenorthremembers Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Got bored of this guys teenage girl act halfway through the article and gave up. He gave up on the Brady book because he is a muckracker that knows he can only sell sensationalism. Bottom line is this, the owners may very well be tools and jerks etc, but they are about a Billion times more successful at what they do than this guy ever thought to be.

TheFunPolice Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 WOW! This guy is SO SOPHOSTICATED! I'm just in awe of how clever and insightful he is. All these pitiful, needy, wimpy, dull old white men who somehow became billionaires by being droopy old rags. Makes you wonder why this guy, who is so much smarter, so much more observant, educated, clever and moral, follows them around like a puppy dog begging for scraps to sell instead of becoming a billionaire businessman himself. Actually, he's above that. He's better than that. Better than them. blah blah blah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't single out Pegula for being the voice for a room full of rich guys who seriously want Trump to know they are solidly behind him---lining up to kiss his ass. Given the predominant attitude of this board against the owners, I'm surprised most wouldn't look forward to reading a book like this as it is likely to confirm their worst suspicions of the group as a whole. Pegula has been in lockstep with all of them since he showed up. Why be surprised to read this? Or disappointed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 In between the rhetoric, all we actually learned was that Terry was worried about Trump. Given Trump’s interest in the NFL and anthem protests, that worry seems legitimate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Terry Pegula built his business empire from nothing, so I would tap the brakes on the whole "Terry is dumb" discussion. Some very intelligent people are just not great speakers. In fact, listening to some very well-known authors speak is excruciating, and you would think that there would be a correlation between the written word and the spoken word. There isn't always. Terry is an engineer and a businessman, not an orator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
