Well only 49.5. Plus lifetime use of a private jet. And lifetime health insurance for his family.
I hate Jerry Jones but he's right to be questioning this no matter his ulterior motives. These would be ludicrous asks even if everything was hunky-dory in NFL-Land but are insane given all the controversies swirling around the league none of which Roger has handled particularly well.

I don't know how the NFL can put on all it's "We love the military" yesterday (and throughout the season) and support the clear "FU" the players have demonstrated for our flag, our anthem and our country. The hypocrisy is startling!
It is harder and harder to watch a sport where I don't like and care about the players, coaches and owners.
I can't believe I am saying this, but I agree with Jerry Jones. Maybe for different reasons and a different agenda, but something has to change and I don't know who can do it in this climate.
Jerrah is not alone; they want to get Roger out of the Hamptons and all the right parties and events and back to work and they are threatening his job to do it. Leaking his contract demands, which will seem outlandish the public, is part of that pressure.

You should probably watch hockey or NASCAR.
Goodell is a truly terrible commissioner.
Further, he hired as his right hand man of communications, Joe Lockhart, the press secretary for Bill Clinton and a central figure in the Kerry campaign in 2004, who looks at everything through a political lens and aggressively supports liberal agenda...
In my view, this is now manifesting itself in a way where the league appears to be a political platform as much as an entertainment platform. Which I think this is certainly playing a role in pushing the rating downward.
So do you really want to give the face of your league $50M to promote an off-the-field agenda that conflicts with many of your owners' views?
