Two of the NFL’s wealthiest owners had a fiery back-and-forth during a league-wide owners meeting on Tuesday.
The 32 NFL owners voted 31-1 for the compensation committee to reconstruct the contract of commissioner Roger Goodell. His contract is said to be up after the season ends, according to ESPN.
With the way the votes went, the NFL owners appear to be pleased with the job that Goodell has done since he took over the position from Paul Tagliabue in 2006, according to Bleacher Report. The one outlier who voted against the motion to reconstruct Goodell’s deal was none other than Dallas Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones.
Jones and New England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft, reportedly got into a heated exchange during the meeting, according to ESPN. Jones reportedly told Kraft, who voted with the overwhelming majority ,”don’t f— with me,” to which Kraft replied, “excuse me?”
As the motion passed, the boisterous Cowboys owner told Kraft, “don’t mess with me,” ESPN reported. Why Jones went at Kraft so hard is unknown but when two of the richest sports owners in world spar with verbal jabs at one another it makes for an interesting work day.
As the lone voter against the motion, Jones seems just completely unsatisfied with the job Goodell has done. A league source close to Jones told ESPN that the Cowboys owner believes that Goodell needs to do more to earn his new deal. The source said, “he is sensitive to awarding a big bonus to Roger before he performs and earns it.”
There may not be anyone as respected in the NFL as Jerry Jones is, but to put Kraft in check like this is a bush league move.
Jones is the big dog among the 31 owners. He does not like Goodell. Prior to this meeting Kraft also wanted to get rid of Goodell. The other 29 owners want to keep Goodell because they have become incredibly rich since he has been in charge of the NFL.
At least the NFL is not funding trans surgeries for minors, like the major league baseball teams. Freakish times we’re in when you can be relieved some sports groups aren’t doing this evil.

I would submit that anyone that equates respect with winning superbowls might wanna reassess their priorities in life.
Well Jerry likes “Strokin’”, like Clarence Carter.
I think Kraft won because the ...wait for it...Daily Mail had a big spread of him marrying his gold digger trophy girl. He was all spiffed out in his sneakers lookin’ young and in love. Have to say she is a cut above those Asian hoes he got caught with in Florida.
Excuse me.... multi-billionaires...... Jerry’s yacht cost $250 million!
Kraft is kind of loathsome himself, after his wife died, he kind of went off the deep end.
Getting caught at a Chinese Rub and Tug Spa that specializes in Happy Endings was just the start.
Recently he married a woman who is 48 and he is 81, I guess if you can do it, why not but it’s sort of odd to be marrying a woman younger than your children.
Oh, I’m sure he’s still paying them visits. The ring is on his finger, not on his you-know-what.
LOL Why get married then? Never mind.
Obscene.......ain’t it.
No, not at all.
Huh? LOL. I always heard the "old guard" of the NFL disliked him immensely. Wellington Mara -- in his own gentlemanly way -- used to put him back in his place repeatedly back in the day.
The games only billionaires can play.
Marrying a 48 year old when you are billionaire is sad.
You can taje any 20-25 year on vacation and not have to deal with the baggage of a 48 year old.
I loathe Goodell.
Good for “Jerruh” being the lone dissenter on the vote to keep that jackass as the NFL Commish.
equate respect with winning super bowls
Okay maybe I was a brief short on my reply. For someone who is in business to win football games including the ultimate championship I do not respect that he has 4 playoff wins in 25 years. I have respect for his business acumen but as a football owner he is not very good.
Oh please. Knock off the Democrat talking points. The NFL is a business run by a bunch of rich guys. They make tons of money off of it, and it entertains millions of people. The Alpha male owners go at each others throats. Which provides additional entertainment. Fun all around.
Go clutch your pearls somewhere else.
Goodell Is a flaming Clinton woke overpaid libtard who should have been fired when his last contract was up
Unless they’re hanging themselves, who gives AF about your NFL trashbags?
NFL quisling.
Exactly Godell is a woke a-hole who ruined the NFL. The owners are cowards
