NFL Owner Drama: Jerry Richardson a Bully?

[fitty76]

Jerry is the same guy who questioned weather Peyton Manning could read a P&L statement during the lock out.  So, yeah, probably.

Im an active user here, but made a throwaway to avoid being labeled a conspiracy theorist. That being said, someone sent this link. I'm not saying I necessarily believe the guy, but the fact that it was posted Dec 7th, and he predicts Panthers/Broncos, as well as a "scandal" involving one of the teams at the end of December (Peyton/HGH), is pretty damn interesting. 

Vegas made a lot of money off this game. To me, it isn't so far fetched to think some aspects of the NFL are fixed. It's happened in the NBA, and currently FIFA and the ATP are under fire for match fixing. 

I also find it odd that the NFL is the only pro sport which lists itself as "entertainment". The same listing as the WWE... 

 

Was the Super Bowl fixed?

I don't care if public money was involved or not, the deal the NFL chose will cost them massively long term. Jerry was right.

Jerry does make a good point about leaving St. Louis twice. And in the long run bailing on Oakland and San Diego makes way more sense. Now the raiders are royally fugged the only appealing city to jump to is Las Vegas and the NFL won't have it. Man I would love Las Vegas Raiders.

I think Jerry has foresight the other owners do not. They voted the easy way. Let Kroenke and his money build in LA. Its a fast food stadium. Super sized and all. But is it healthy for the league? The Chargers and Raiders needed to move more. I also think there are a number of owners right now that are weak and ego driven. They don't understand how the league was built and how to keep it strong. They are more concerned with themselves.

Maybe he didn't want his kids to ruin his NFL franchise. I don't pretend to know the inner workings of the organization or Richardson, but IMO an owner like Jerry Jones is business above anything else. Our Jerry seems to care a little more about character when it comes to who plays for the Panthers, so I'd have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yep.

to me, Jerry seemed to be in the camp supporting the owner who had always put the league first and whose project promoted traditional football and that experience for the fans.

The article made me realize that JR can be animated when he wants to be.  I've never seen that -- well -- except when he dabbed in the locker room.

I read it that Jerry wanted to reward an owner who was a loyal servant to the NFL, like him, and that he didn't want to set a precedent for turning down a ton of public money. Public money is how he helped finance the BoA upgrades. He doesn't want that cash faucet welded shut when it's time for more upgrades to BoA or a new stadium.

He's a great owner for the Panthers and I thank him for bringing the NFL to the Carolinas, but he's just a self serving as the rest of them. You don't get to his position without being so.

I agree, I think 99% of us would do the same thing in that scenario.

I think the Raiders in San Antonio is an appealing jump. No?

We already have. There's a whole refugee section for them on Panthers Reddit.

It would basically require the collusion of every owner in the NFL to pull off, including that of losing teams like the Browns.

So no, not really.

We lost the game.  Was it poorly officiated?  Like pretty much every game this past season, yes.  The league is in desperate need of improvement in that department, and I'm pretty sure having full time officials is the only real answer.

But was there some conspiracy? No, and people make themselves look really silly when they go down that road.
