In Jerry Jones v. Roger Goodell, NFL owners should choose sides wisely

It's easy to caricaturize Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and lord knows he helps, with his "I'm a rich 'un" manner. But his fellow NFL owners respect him on matters of business, even as they resent his money-whipping and brags, so if he tells them Roger Goodell must go and the league needs a new commissioner, they at least will listen, even as they bicker.

If I'm an NFL owner, I know whom I ultimately side with in a choice between Jones and Goodell. I side with the owner who has multiplied my revenues exponentially with his vision and willingness to upset the cart when no one else had the nerve to, as opposed to the commissioner who has mangled every serious matter he has touched.
