Kelly the Dog Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Jerry Jones wants to change what made the NFL the most successful league in history. Goodell works to preserve it. And I don't even like Goodell. 1

And both of those mistakes have cost the league dearly in recent years and is resulting in a ratings dip. Decades of ratings growth and now the ratings slow down after two very bad PR disasters? Also the general overexposure of the product can be attributed to the recent ratings dip. Revenue is coming from newly inked TV deals that were made when the product was more popular. The NFL's product might not attract an insane price for its TV deals that expire over the next decade if ratings continue to disappoint. They need to turn around the recent ratings slump quickly and the person to do that isn't the guy that made all the mistakes that got you into this mess. I think an article in the WSJ last week did a good job debunking the anthem stuff as the cause for ratings drops. it's overexposure, as you also stated. Ray Rice was a news cycle that is long dead with little lasting effect. Was Goodell the one who said what a great guy Rice was after that first video came out? Was Goodell the one who said players "WILL STAND" for the anthem? DId he also say that the inmates shouldn't be running the prison? Nope--these were the comments of the men who employ him to take the fall for their decisions. Jones is taking a huge risk---he has no more voting power than the other rich men in the room and he will likely alienate all of them with this legal maneuvering in public. There are other strong personalities in that group that will not take well to public announcements of Jerry possibly suing them personally. As for MLB, the recent WS average ratings were lower than last season and the game 7 numbers were way down. from last year. The rating for Game 7 of this year's WS (which was, by far, the most watched game) equaled the average of all televised NFL games through 6 weeks. So, even with a 7.5% drop from last year, the average NFL game drew as many viewers as the pinnacle game of the entire MLB season in a much hyped "classic" World Series. The MLB is dead. NHL is dead. NFL is the money bet for broadcasters still, by far.
CodeMonkey Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Jerrah is located in a part of the country where the anthem protests probably do impact his attendance, and he has a LOT of seats to fill. Roger is giving Jerrah's star RB a hard time when the charges have already been dropped. Jerrah and Trump are [butt] buddies. The math on this one is simple.

Fadingpain Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Jones is currently lawyering up as it were. This will be a big deal in the NFL and something you are going to hear so much about in the days ahead, you will be praying for a reprieve from it all in short order.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 12 hours ago, Coach Tuesday said: This is a bigger deal than it may seem. What Jerry is doing could threaten the entire system - parity, the salary cap, etc. I wonder if this is just his first salvo with an eye toward all of that. He probably resents that he just gets one vote despite a larger market share. I’m very curious to see how this plays out, especially with the collective bargaining agreement coming up for renegotiation. And I can’t help but keep thinking about Mark Cuban’s “pigs get slaughtered” comment. The NFL as we know it may be coming to an end soon... .......very interesting assessment......there has to be a PERSONAL benefit first and foremost.....he's always hated the parity and revenue sharing ideas......and if he causes the big tent to collapse, I'd love watching Cowgirls market value go from $4.2 BIL to zero in a nanosecond.............

apuszczalowski Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Jerry Jones - Roger Goodell is a great guy and we need to band together to sign him to a long extension, he is great to all you owners and the league Jerry is then informed of Elliots possible suspension Jerry Jones - Roger Goodell is evil and ruining football, we need him removed immediately and everyone is being lied to!
beerme1 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Jerrah's got a beef with Goodell. To the post I've read saying things like Ralph would set him straight, Goodell is doing great etc I think you're misguided. Ralph would not and Goodell certainly is not. Ratings are starting to tank and more and more teams may see less and less people in the stands, parents are stopping their kids from playing the game, Bob Costas saying the end is near for the game of football, (he's a little douche by the way) so many mishandled events by Goodell and this is starting to impact the bottom line. Tim and Kerry are next up to build a new playpen with all this going on. Great time to be an owner of an NFL team I guess right? The devil you know in this case represent both sides of owners vs Goodell. Get him out. So I see this as a pick em lol.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to build a new stadium if I was in their position. If I were an owner, I would not support renewing Goodell's contract. He's just about killed the goose that laid the golden egg. Time for a new Commissioner.
