Stan Kroenke, the Rams owner. Clark Hunt, sneaky powerful owner of the Kansas City Chiefs and the team they're playing on Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles. Jeff Lurie also has quite a bit of power. And they flex it. And how they flex it is with Roger and Roger's lieutenants in finding ways to grow that revenue no matter what. And it's always about, do we have enough leverage?
