Jerry Jones among owners trying to halt Roger Goodell's extension

"The Cowboys' Jerry Jones was a leading voice among 17 NFL owners on a conference call Thursday that discussed the possibility of halting commissioner Roger Goodell's pending contract extension, sources involved with the call told ESPN.
There is a growing difference of opinion among owners about Goodell's overall performance as commissioner, according to sources. The owners on Thursday's conference call are generally unhappy with Goodell and the NFL's front office for a variety of reasons, including the player protests staged during the national anthem, issues regarding the relocation of teams to Los Angeles and the league's handling of the Ray Rice domestic violence case, according to sources.
"You don't get to have this many messes over the years like Roger has had and survive it," one owner said during the call.
Despite the unhappiness, this group of owners is skeptical that it will be able to outright fire Goodell, according to sources. The NFL would need 24 owners to approve Goodell's ouster. But one person involved in this past week's conference call compared the NFL's current situation with Goodell to Major League Baseball's situation with Fay Vincent in September 1992, when baseball owners voted 18-9 to ask him to step down and replace him with Bud Selig"

Jones' vision of the future of the NFL is a super profitable entertainment juggernaut.
Goodell desires a social/business Frankenstein monster that will be less profitable but will do good as he defines it.
Jones billions make him socially acceptable everywhere.
Goodell wants societal acceptance in liberal NY even if it costs Jones millions.

But....but....Goodell is doing a good job because no one is talking about the owners in this matter. Isn't that his job?

Whatever it takes to get rid of Goodell.

The dumbest thing owners ever did was to give the players a seat at the table.
The second dumbest thing they’ve done was to give someone else power over their teams - like a commissioner. Now they can’t even get rid of him.
They deserve every little pain he gives them.

I like to think that Jerry is making an effort to get off my "People to kill" list
Edit: realistically, he's a business man and a damned decent one. He knows what is f'ing with his paycheck.

The NFL is a shitshow right now and needs to be overhauled. Get rid of Riger and bring someone in who has an innovative approach to where the league should go.

Goodell needs to take the Clinton hack who has orchestrated their shite show of a response with him.

damn 24 owners have to vote against Goodell to get rid of him. That’s a good deal he worked out for himself.

I think Jones has a lot more clout than most owners though.
