    Right. Jerry Jones also made a deal to have the tax payers pay $325 million to pay for AT&T Stadium. And if you ever go to Dallas and look at your hotel bill, you're still probably paying a tax on building that stadium despite the investment likely being recouped by now.

    New Yorkers didn't want do that whatsoever. I'm sure the figures were way higher as well for that property. The Johnson's and Mara/Tisch combination are one of the few (maybe only?) ownership groups that didn't require the city/state to finance their stadium. Yeah they required PSL's but that's at least coming from the actual fans.

    NFL owners are like the Olympic committees that place all the burden on the tax payer of the area to finance everything.

    Say what you want about the Johnson's but they didn't do that

    Isn't up to the GM to fire and hire a HC? If an owner could run the team why even hire a GM?
