Who is that player?
OT: NFL owners considering taking Cowboys from Jerry
- Thread starter Southpaw
- Start date
Who is that player?
There were multiple players he helped out, those who had financial troubles that didnt go through media scrutiny, and of course those with legal troubles that was well publicized. There was a article with a list of players he helped after the game. Going back to the 80's. I think he's also the most player-friendly owner in the league.

If you say so. I am aware he bailed out Dez financially after he blew his bonus money on bling and stiffed a bunch of jewelers. Don't know that was the right thing to do. I do not agree that player friendly way is good for the league.
Well thats you. Players are humans as well, you prefer for them not to talk to their employers like Kroenke does with the Rams? Act like they are they are the 40 million dollar slaves that they all, use them for all they have, and cut them lose and never even associate with the team again? I mean if thats what you want, then there are plenty of owners who are like that. Jerry has proven he is not one of them. Take it for what its worth.
OP
OP
I was not trying to evoke an argument from you. You made some outstanding claims without any specifics. I thought an actual name or two was worthwhile. Who are the owners "who are like that"?
This event is about him threatening to sue the 31 other owners. Not about his charitable endeavors.
BTW his personal battle with Arthur Blank doesn't seem to be very productive.
Ill try to find the article, but his anti-kneeling antics are covering the first pages on google.
I kind of appreciated what jerry did for the kneel... they knelt as a team, then stood for the anthem... I thought it was a decent way to show some support for issues his players think are important without insulting a huge portion of the country

There is no way they take the Cowboys from Jerry Jones. IF and IF they did, it would also mean that THEIR team could be taken from them if they disagree with the other owners in the future. THERE IS NO WAY...again NO WAY this happens.
They'd be stabbing themselves to get to Jerry....not gonna happen.
Really is Jerry is a great owner who is super involved in the team and the league. His promotion of the Cowboys and the league are incredible.

Actually these are good points made by all. Jerry takes a lot of negative publicity for many of the players that he helps as a lot of them have legal problems. And he should take negative publicity for a lot of what he does. Especially here because he has not been consistent with player discipline.
Jerry does not care what people think of him. Peter king recently made the point that Jerry defends his players no matter what. Jerry does a lot to help his players and associates of the cowboys. I’m sure mostly the negative is reported. Does he make money and is he an a hole with evil tendencies? Absolutely but he often does not get credit for anything positive that he does/has done. And I’m not a Jerry fan. Try my best to be more of a cowboys realist.

Gotta start somewhere and $50 mill is negotiable, I assume.
Packers are an anomaly since they are the only "publicly held corporation". The market value of NFL teams is through the roof.

IIRC Didn't he kneel on the road at Arizona and not at his next home game? That would come off as totally hypocritical and a charade if that sequence of events is accurate.
He wasn’t against kneeling. He was against kneeling while the anthem is playing. And he has actually been consistent about that going back to last season. they knelt as a team before the anthem started and then rose to their feet while it played. And many people blasted the cowboys including the president in spite of the fact that no dallas player took a knee during the anthem in AZ.
Now was that a chance for Jerry to put himself front and Center and be mr. Big shot hero? Absolutely he does that every chance he gets. To be fair I would say Jerry has been very supportive of both his players and the national anthem as far as that goes. But you can’t please everyone on such a polarised topic.

It's a long article, but it shows the turmoil happening inside the NFL circles right now. The owners are at odds with each other right now...things aren't looking so rosey!

This will all just benefit the players when the next CBA negotiations start. The other owners will not appreciate this in the end either.
Jones has also been upset for years over equal revenue sharing - he believes teams like the Cowboys should get a bigger cut

It’s been 21 years since Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sued the NFL. Back then, Jones insisted that NFL owners and league officials had conspired in an “illegal cartel” to deny him a larger stake of revenue from the sale of Cowboys apparel. Cowboys’ merchandise generated one-fifth of merchandise revenue in the NFL, yet per NFL revenue sharing, Jones and other owners all received equal shares of the proceeds. Jones and the NFL—which separately sued Jones for misappropriation of property after he negotiated sponsorship contracts with rival companies of NFL sponsors—ultimately negotiated a settlement.
The settlement led to an extended period of détente between Jones and the NFL. But is the NFL due for another courtroom battle with Jones?

What Jerry has said and done are NOTHING compared to those two subhumans.
If you guys can't see that the Goodell pendulum has swung too far I don't know what to say. I am 100% team Jerruh on this one. And that guy has been my sworn enemy for a long, long time.

But didn't the owners give him that power? I mean he works for the owners, doesn't he? So how can he have too much power over his bosses?

To be honest, he's kind of right. Like it or not the Cowboys are one of the top teams in merchandise sales but the top teams are forced to share revenue with the bottom teams. Why should the Patriots, Raiders, Cowboys, Seahawks, etc have to share their merchandise revenue with the likes of the Jags, Texans, etc? However, this is not a new rule and Jones should abide by it or sell the team.
I’m not in Jerry’s corner on a lot of the player personnel stuff he pulls. And he talks way too much. when it comes to business and making money for the cowboys and the nfl he knows better than a commissioner who has failed countless times on several occasions. I also blame Jerry and and the other owners for letting this get out of control.
But if the report is true that Goodell lied to jones about Elliott then I see why he’s so upset. It sounds like a bunch of backstabbing going on and Goodell has lost complete control.
