I Stand with Jerry!
- Thread starter Mayor of Little London
- Start date
I don't like Jones at all. He is a goof and a creep. Jones is getting persecuted unfairly. Goodell should not get that ridiculous contract for multiple reasons. A private jet for life... come on.
Not to mention there is another year left on his contract. Why get in a big hurry?
JJ is morphing into Al Davis, whom I hated as a Denver fan. However, AD stuck it to the league & a few times he was right. Goodell seems less like a commish now, & more like a totalitarian. What would Kennesaw Landis think about Goodell?
Jerry Jones is 100% correct in this situation as well. Goodell in no way deserves a contract extension much less a raise. The guy has mishandled almost all important moments in his tenure. Public image of the NFL is one of his only important job duties and he managed to screw it up pretty good.
Goodell can go 17 himself. He’s a dirty POS and he’s bad for the League. He has helped in damaging its reputation.
Goodell is what's wrong with America, not Jurrah. It's sad this is even possible and openly discussed. Goodell is an egomaniacal tyrant that thinks he is above everything and everyone and accountable to none. The NFL pinch will likely continue and I hope it turns every man/team for themself and they feast on goodells proverbial carcass.
The other owners are richer due to Jerry.
With that said, he made many bad decisions (in respect to his team) due to his ego when Jerry Johnson had them rolling. Until JJ gets out of the way, (like many have said) I'm afraid the Cowboys will never win another Super Bowl.

He bought the team for $150 million
They are now worth $4.2 billion, the highest valued sports team in the world, a title only previously held by European soccer teams with a global tv market. Seems like he must make a couple decent decisions.

Agree with Jerry on a lot of things... but...,
The NFL needs a strong commissioner who works without a lot of restrictions to be able to manage all of the owners and players union personalities. The commish can’t walk around scared. They have to carry a big stick in that environment.
So even though Goodell has mis-managed the protest horribly and the players union to some extent the owners with a brain know they really don’t want to take away too much of his power. Rock meet hard place!

Many of the NFL franchises that hold influence are generational powers. This **** has been part of each family's legacy for decades.
I too would be pretty damn annoyed with a raging dick like Jones taking all his issues to the press and public opinion because that only creates more chaos and instability. That isnt good for the brand- at all.
Goodell hasnt handled a lot of the large public issues well, thats for damn sure. He helped lead the NFL to absurd revenues though and thats what is most important to owners.
Goodell has overseen the NFL grow by $750million each year since 2010, all while apparently mishandling spousal abuse issues, ball inflation issues, CTE scandal, punishing teams for spying, and these recent silent protests.
I am mentioning this because it appears nobody else knows or finds it relevant, and either way thats absurd. Goodell may suck and Goodell may not be good for the NFL, but he has been damn good for revenues.

Sure, that has helped. TV contracts have helped, by way of fan interest from FF, definitely.
The problem is that he seems to be moving from strong and powerful to arrogant and corrupt. He's asking for a $7 million raise and "lifetime use of a private jet" in his contract extension negotiations in the midst of not one but two very poorly managed PR incidents. The way he operates seems much akin to corrupt career politicians who do whatever they want because they don't feel any fear of losing their position.
