Got to thinking about the egos in the room and was wondering how they get stuff done. Not only do they have strong personalities but most of them are probably extremely smart and are/want to always be right.

Is there any information about how they come to conclusions and get deals made?

I always assumed they just hired strippers to jerk everyone off while burning hundred dollar bills for fun and talking about how awesome life is.

Eating deviled T-Rex eggs.

TONS of blow.

Strippers who have no familial ties.

Bowling a diamond encrusted ball and using baby seals as pins.

to answer your question seriously, there is a owner food chain. not all owners have as much pull as others

Guys like Kraft and Jerry run that shite for the most part

It sounds a lot like the Senate to me.

I was staying at the Marriot in Atlanta during one of these owners meetings. This was the NFL meeting that ended the lockout a few years ago.

It was like something out of a movie when all the Mob bosses get together. They are all chauffeured in black SUVs and they wear suit and ties all the time everywhere.

Some of the owners liked to party, Jerry Jones and Daniel Syner went buck wild at the hotel bar one night... Bought everyone drinks and Jerry left a $10,000 tip. Jerry was chasing trim too. As much as Cowboy fans hate him, he's actually an awesome dude with incredible energy for a guy his age.

Most of the other owners were pretty reclusive in the airport Marriot, which is actually pretty small.

I did get to hang out with Benson's limo driver/personal assistant. He has a Super Bowl ring.

Got to talk shite to Sal Palentonio and John Clayton. Also had a beer with Peter King on the last night after the owners departed.

Kraft, Mara and Rooney all have more pull than Jerry. Richardson, Blank and Bisciotti are tighter with the commissioner too.

I guess since Benson is senile and tripping over shite during presentations , Goddell pretty much fricks the Saints over.

Goodell has no allegiance to Benson and vice versa. Tagliabue made them stay in New Orleans.

It is in the respect that everything is broken down into various committees that make decisions under their purview which is then (usually) rubber stamped by the ownership at large.

So it's not 32 billionaires screaming at each other nor is it quite a situation where a few owners tell the rest to shut up while they explain how things are going to roll.
