A known serial womanizer/assaulter squared off against a known massage parlor frequenter yesterday and the result was not a happy ending.
The NFL fall meetings took place in New York Tuesday. And the fireworks were glorious.
The owner of the highest valued franchise, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, exchanged a few heated words with the owner of the most historically successful franchise, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
The catalyst was a motion to permit the owner’s compensation committee to begin negotiations on a new deal with commissioner Roger Goodell.
Jerry Jones was the one dissenter in the 31-1 vote in favor of beginning. He wants Goodell’s next contract to be more performance incentive-based and less salary guaranteed.
If Jones, as President and GM of the Cowboys, was compensated that way he would be far less wealthy than he is, but we digress.
Jones told Kraft, “don’t f… with me.” Kraft uttered, “excuse me?” And Jones countered with “don’t mess with me.” What started this? Does it matter?
Boys. Boys! BOYS! How bout dem boys?
Billionaires arguing about a two-three hundred million dollar compensation package is unseemly.
But wait, there’s more.
Colts owner Jim Irsay contended out loud that he believes there’s “merit” to consider the removal of Dan Snyder from the Washington Commanders’ ownership. In an effort to oust Snyder over a series of serious internal missteps that there is now an investigation into whether Snyder was actually privately investigating the other owners so that the dirty ones would have dirt on the other dirty ones.
What’s Snyder getting the most heat for? The heat stems from a steamy boy’s club front office that serially harassed female employees when the Commanders were the Redskins. He should get heat for running a once proud franchise straight into the Fed Ex Field dirt, but we digress again.
It seems that DeShaun Watson’s off-of-the-field dalliances should immediately qualify him for ownership once his playing days end. Of course, the NFL will allow none of his bad behavior to go unpunished. It tarnishes the image of the game.
We ask once more, “how bout dem boys?”
