.
Thought Winston's clarification was fair enough.
Likely to be booted out by the owners
Numerous sources reiterate that Roger Goodell's new contract is done as a practical matter and that Jerry Jones' effort to "hijack" the process in a conference call among some owners on Thursday is not feasible.
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/...eal-despite-jerry-jones-efforts-to-hijack-it/"That article leaves the inference that 17 want Roger out but I know most on the call may want some changes at the league staff but NOT Roger," communicated one ownership source. "Meaning they want Roger to stay but want some guys out and want more talented people brought in" at the league office.
There have been differing accounts of Roger Goodell's contract extension in the media, but the reality is the language on the commissioner's extension with the NFLis finalized. "The deal is done," according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation, and no owner is delaying the matter.
When Jolly was applying for reinstatement and was denied the first time I know that upset some people within the organisation.Is there no team besides the Packers that Goodell has not upset and applied his own kangaroo court towards?
Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, has escalated a feud with Goodell, threatening to sue the league and some fellow team owners over negotiations to extend Goodell’s contract, according to three people with direct knowledge of the situation.
Sue not sack. Seems like a massive sook over Elliott. Apparently he’s threatened to throw his toys out the cot and msue other owners on two other separate occasions.How could Jones sack other owners based on their vote?
Whoops, meant sue. Not sure where sack came from haha.Sue not sack. Seems like a massive sook over Elliott. Apparently he’s threatened to throw his toys out the cot and msue other owners on two other separate occasions.
Not if those votes are bought.Whoops, meant sue. Not sure where sack came from haha.
I just don't understand on what grounds he could sue them? Surely they're entitled to vote whichever way they like?
It almost seems more likely that Jones could buy votes easier than Goodell could.Not if those votes are bought.
I'd love someone to challenge AFL Commission appointments in this fashion. I'm no fan of Jones but we could do with one like him in the AFL.
I don't mean "buy" in the sense of handing over suitcases of money.It almost seems more likely that Jones could buy votes easier than Goodell could.
Interesting. If that was happening, you'd think they'd be covering their tracks pretty well. Interesting times ahead.I don't mean "buy" in the sense of handing over suitcases of money.
I mean in the sense of guaranteeing outcomes for owners for their vote. Jones can't guarantee outcomes. The NFL can.
