    Default Roger Goodell Expected to Fine Jerry Jones Millions of Dollars

    With the support of many N.F.L. owners, Commissioner Roger Goodell is prepared to escalate his public feud with Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys and long one of the most influential people in the league, by fining him millions of dollars for his efforts to derail negotiations to renew Goodell’s contract and for his outspoken defense of a star player who was suspended, according to five league officials with direct knowledge of the situation.

    The punishment will be issued in the coming weeks by Goodell, who will declare that Jones’s actions were detrimental to the league, which rarely shows such acute signs of acrimony among owners and the commissioner’s office. Goodell has been reluctant to be seen as exacting retribution for the way Jones tried to sabotage his contract talks, but he was urged to bring the penalties by several owners who believed that Jones had crossed an unspoken boundary by threatening his colleagues.

    In November, Jones hired the high-profile lawyer David Boies and said he was prepared to sue the six owners on the league’s compensation committee, which had been working for months on extending Goodell’s contract. Jones also lobbied loudly for running back Ezekiel Elliott not to be penalized, and reportedly tried to influence league officials deciding his case. Elliott had been suspended by the league for six games before the season after the N.F.L. investigated domestic-assault allegations.

    Not sure what to make of this. Neither party is sympathetic in my eyes.

    Agreed. However, he's essentially fining him for opposing his salary and disagreeing with his ruling.

    Doesn't this seem like a total conflict of interests?

    According to league sources, the reported fine of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones by the commissioner's office is a reimbursement of legal fees in excess of $2 million. It's not so much "Goodell fines Jerry" as it is fellow NFL owners executing a rule that's... http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=2...416190575177-4

    I guess Goodell is the 'good guy' in this scenario?

    I gathered the fine was for making it public, along with his public lobbying for Pimp daddy Elliott.

    The important thing here is that I heckled the hell out of Jerry Jones when he was here last September and told him he stole Bowlen's HOF slot.
