You would think he would be on Jerry Jones side?

Does he have a say in things anymore?

What ever happened to Jones lawyering up?

Benson prob doesn't have a clue what is even going on right now.

How and why would Blank, that creepy, Pedo looking guy, carry a lot of weight? He’s no Rooney, Halas family, or Mara. He’s not even aLurie, Jones or Snyder.

He has a lot of money and his team is in a large media market?

Blank is the one that provides the underage treats for the other owners.

Every owner has a lot of money and how the hell does the size of a media market mean anyone should listen to that guy?

Tom Benson has done nothing but roll over and play dead since the bounty gate fiasco. He has no power whatsoever among NFL owners and he hasn't done a thing to defend this franchise. The truth is, these owners care about one thing, money. As long as the money keeps rolling in, they could give a shite what happens on the field.

I like to think every owner in the NFL thinks Jones is a complete douche and would not want to take his lead.

Jones is the man. If he were commission the league would be making money hand over fist.

Of course, senile Tom Benson signed off like a good little soldier. He doesn't know who the Commissioner currently is, where he is, and he sure as hell doesn't remember Bounty Gate or the screw job the NFL gives the Saints with the schedule and officiating we get from the league office. But I am positive he rubber stamped it - like always.

And Roger gifted Blank a game that would have kept his chokers from making the playoffs. How nice.

His wife runs this team now.
Blank will get all the benefits now since he put Jerry Jones in his place.
Goodell is a POS.

I will never understand why Benson didn't come out against the league during bounty gate.

I would tend to believe that Benson isn't signing off on much lately. I would bet that Gail is glued to his hip and signing for him.

Benson: Opposed

Blank: Approved and hand delivered the money the day before the game when a former-falcon ref was last minute subbed onto the officiating crew.
