Jerry Jones vs. Roger Goodell (1 Viewer)

I think my favorite part is this:

 "I was referring to the relationship between the league office and team owners and how they have been making significant strategic decisions affecting our league without adequate input from ownership over the past few years," McNair said in an excerpt from the statement.

McNair says something revealing some pretty blatant racist thinking, and then tries to turn it around and pretend that he was really ripping Goodell.

Ideally, everyone loses in this fight eventually. But on this particular issue, it seems pretty clear that guys like Jones and McNair would love to just tell players and fans to shut up and keep trucking in loads of money to hand to them. I can't stand Jerry Jones and I hope he loses on this and gets told to sit down and shut up.

You guys live for any bit of anything you can call racism.  It really gets you off. Life would have no meaning to you without it.

Saying we can't let the prisoners run the prison when the majority of his team (and the NFL) is black is - at minimum - a very stupid thing to say. I don't look for racism under every rock, but even you have to admit that it looks racist.

No it doesn't 

 
Would inmates running the asylum be more or less PC? Probably raycess to infer that a football player is crazy too.

 
I expected this thread to be full of people talking about how Goodell needs to go.

I'm shuked right now.

 
Anyone with anything closely resembling a brain would know what McNair said was a figure of speech. Yeah it wasnt spot on but everyoone knew what he meant. But the little babies with their rattles just found ANOTHER way to be offended. But most race baiting whiners will go after whatever they can.

Am I mis-remembering, but didn’t Jerruh rave at how good a job Goodell was doing during Deflategate?

But that wasn't his team. He is a hypocrite. I vaguely remember the story, but he was considering or did tell his team that he would bench anyone that knelt during the anthem, but get into trouble with the law and he will do anything in his power to keep you on the field. 

 
This is getting better and better. Jerry Jones was kicked out of the Goodell contract negotiations. He has now threatened to sue the league. What's fun is the lawyer he is using is David Boies. Boies is the lawyer that was doing all sorts of shady stuff to protect Harvey Weinstein, including running interference for Weinstein at the NYT while being paid by the NYT at the same time.

It's unclear what grounds Jones would have to sue under.

Jones is now accusing the league/Compensation Committee and Arthur Blank specifically of misleading owners about contract negotiations. The league is firing back and accusing Jones of misleading other owners. Fun stuff.

And the Al Davis comparisons are looking better and better.  He'll be spooning his mush alone in a room screaming at Jimmy Johnson any day now.

The HOF'r that had nothing to say but good things about Jimmy sitting in the front row during his inductee speech?

Which player is this?  There isn't any player on the team in trouble with the law currently that I am aware of. At least not to the extent it would keep them off the field.

Zeke? And of course not currently, it was like 18 months ago when it happened with all the appeals and investigations. Goodell is a scumbag, but let's not act like Jones isn't.

Don’t underestimate Jerry...the league needs them and their fan base more than ever. They proved LY that they are the golden Goose in Pro sports, without winning a postseason game...especially now that the Cubs won.

If you are being investigated for any reason it is legal trouble, whether you are innocent or not.

Yes your odd definition of law is what confused me. 

If my boss was investigating me for showing up late to work most people wouldn't call that legal trouble.

Being late to work is a little different.  :fishing:

And that's exactly why Zeke is fighting this thing to the end. The lawyers and judges that are involved now are involved because of Zeke, not Goodell.  Even though the real authorities that investigated this case decided that there was no case, no charges, this power play by Goodell to try and help the NFLs image with domestic violence automatically brands him with fans like you.

Neither was Ben Roethlisberger but that didn't stop Goodell from suspending him 6 games (later reduced to 4).  I don't recall Jones being upset then or when Brady was suspended.

Jones commenting on the Brady ordeal:

 He's got obviously a very tough job," Jones said. "Now I see some people doing that, that's that old violin that's not feeling too sorry for him because that's why you pay the big bucks is to deal with the big problems. But he's doing an outstanding job. I can tell you firsthand that in his spot you have to with people that you are counting on to help build and to help excel as far as the National Football League, I'm talking about the owners, you have to know that you're going to make some decisions that are very unpopular with that particular group. This is the case.
