There's tension about who deserves to get in the Hall of Fame faster. Oh, I want to get to this.

Jerry Jones is furious that Roger punished Ezekiel Elliott, his running back, far greater than Jerry felt was right or just.

He remembered what Roger Goodell did on Spygate. And actually, Jerry wanted Roger out. He literally tried to take the commissioner out.

Well, Roger was up for a new deal. The compensation committee led by Arthur Blank at the time, the Falcons owner, wanted to give Roger a nice, healthy extension and pay him a lot more money. Jerry disagreed, had issues with Roger's performance.

And if you actually read some of our stories carefully and others, you could also raise some questions about Roger's track record, not just in the taking arrows for owners, but other things. Jerry felt that some of the revenue streams that he wanted to see were not growing at the pace that he wanted. So he had some business issues with him.

Oh, he was right. He was right in the mid 90s when he said the team should be allowed to have their own sponsorship deals. I mean, the Cowboys in the mid 90s, when Jerry took on all of his fellow owners, you know, they were actually responsible for about a quarter of all of the merchandise money. and yet they were sharing it with 31 other teams equally, and that's where this first started.

Jerry is all about monetizing everything, and he is a content guy. He's a storyteller, and that's why he wanted teams to be able to tell their own story, and they weren't allowed to do that. It made no sense to him. Look, I always say Jerry is the shadow commissioner. Jerry is the most powerful of all the owners. There's a lot of reasons to believe that.

But in this particular moment, Jerry didn't get his way. Jerry was... He was prepared to take out Roger Goodell, and nobody had his back, particularly Arthur Blank and Robert Kraft and some of the other sort of power owners.
