Didn't see this posted: LINK
I don't see the Rooney family (Steelers) at #4.

Thoughts?

Having Lurie at #2 invalidated the rest of the list.

Lurie is a pretty good owner. #2 may be a tad high but it's not totally crazy

Outside of the stupid Cubs reference, the Haslem comment was spot on.

I honestly think Jerry Jones should be higher.

As an owner, he's great. It's his complete lack of GM skills that make him terrible. The business end, advertising, etc. he's great at.

Jerry is a special case. I'm not sure you can separate his refusal to hire a real GM from the good he's done.

Here, I'll sum up the list in the article. I think its probably not what everyone would agree with either.

1. Pats
2. Eags
(Insert every traditionally worshiped old school team-bears, pack, 9ers, steelers, giants, jets etc.)

The rest.

9. Arthur Blank, Falcons

Blank’s transformation of the Falcons hasn’t been quite as stark as Allen’s remaking of the Seahawks, but it comes close. When Blank purchased the Falcons in 2002, he was taking the reins of a team that had never had back-to-back winning seasons. That’s quite a feat for a club that had been playing football since 1966. Of course, in the intervening 12 years there’s been some typical Falcons heartbreak. Failures as a No. 1 seed. Last year’s tumble to the bottom of the league. The whole Michael Vick thing. Bobby Petrino. But Blank has instilled two qualities that were only a dream before his arrival: Credibility, and an expectation of winning. They should remain for the entirety of his reig

Packers should be #1 considering this is America.

Haslam isn’t just more of the same in Cleveland, he’s everything that’s wrong with the modern owner. Haslam is an arrogant, rash, amoral man who believes the law doesn’t apply to him. Someone who will cut as many corners as necessary to ensure he gets as many dollars as possible. Someone who — allegedly, of course — spent years ripping off the exact kind of people who make up the bedrock NFL fandom, a bedrock that is gradually being priced out of attending games. Maybe Haslam will beat his federal rap.


A guy has this written about him and he STILL is ranked higher than Dan Snyder.

I think the Rooneys are definitely top 5. A lot of super bowls and consistently good.

Glad to see they called out Benson for his shenanigans.
