As NFL Civil War Brews, We Must Ask: Who Should Fans Root For?
#1
The biggest NFL story of the day Sunday—and maybe of the past few years—started with a question: Did Dallas owner Jerry Jones leak the inflammatory story from ESPN about Roger Goodell's contractual demands?
We'll likely never know, but the question is similar to: Is there gravity?
I can't prove there's gravity, but I know it's there. I don't float off into space unless I'm on the purple drank.
What's certain is that some owners believe Jones leaked the story, in what is quickly becoming one of the most high-stakes, ugly and public fights the NFL has ever seen.
One owner, who asked not to be identified, sent me a stark text about Jones: "He's trying to start a civil war among ownership. I can't sit here and tell you it won't work."
ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen reported Sunday that Goodell is asking for around $49.5 million a year, use of a private plane for life and health insurance for life for his family. It's unclear whether Goodell is also demanding a unicorn that poops gold.

Honestly I hate Jerry Jones and Goodell. But I think it is smart to leak this information. Because the fact is fans hate Goodell and this leaking hurts his leverage.

Any faction that helps oust the worst sports commissioner ever has my unwavering support.  The decline of the NFL started the day he was hired.

Looks like NFL has imposed "Cease and Desist" order against Jerruh.
