Raiders in a pickle

[BLITZ]

the owners know that the NFL is a business before anything else.

Meh.....all the Rooney's care about is the $$$$$. I don't begrudge them for that. Just don't act like they are different than any other owner.

Oh but this franchise’s owner(s) past and present, ARE definitely different than other owners. The Chief and Dan and now Art2 are nothing like the egomaniacs Jones and Snyder are, or think more of themselves than the league like Kronke, Kraft, Davis and I suspect Tepper if Charlotte doesn’t build him a new stadium. The common denominator in all things strife with the league is Goodell. Sure he’s the figurehead of the monetary growth of the League, but Tags would have come down hard on Kraft and Jones with their shenanigans. Pete Rozzelle would have eventually frustrated Jones to sell. He wasn’t hesitant to go to court with Al, he definitely would have put The death penalty on Belichick and Kraft. Rozzelle took it personally when the newer owners deviated from the Old Guard’s sacrifice for a stronger product.
