Jerry was not exactly well liked within the Owner circles, unlike what was portrayed.

go jerk off to your delhomme poster.

LOL, I couldn't care less about Delhomme, wasn't even a fan of his. I just had to create a username that was generic as hell. Anything else you got? Are you going to take a picture of your poo and post it again? Maybe a picture of a toilet with urine in it? Weird fug.

JR was a patsy. His fellow NFL owners used him to represent unpopular opinions that all of the owners agreed with but were smart enough not to air publicly.

Yep. 

But he didn’t realize that. He saw himself as a member of the inner circle (Mara and Rooney) but in reality they all hated him. 

Plus he hasn’t really been all there since his surgery.

Nothing about that tweet suggests any dislike (or like for that matter) for Richardson.

What it basically says is that although Richardson had the shield there in gratitude, his fellow owners actually fought with him a lot, and it got fairly contentious.

So yeah, it kinda does.

Evidence that his much touted "league respect" might have declined in later years can be found in the LA team discussion. Richardson was reported to be pretty angry that the league didn't go the way he wanted them to on that.

The team sale is another point of contention. Darin Gantt reported that Richardson was very bitter about how things went down (the League being unwilling to accept his internal investigation idea for example). Likewise, Albert Breer has indicated that Richardson wanted to go with the highest bidder but the league ending up skewing the process toward the guy who actually build the lowest. How often does that happen in bidding contests?

Linville is correct in saying that Richardson was the point man for some unpopular things. weather that makes him a "patsy" or not is a judgement call, I suppose.

Our senior Auburn fan has a point as well, though. Given the circumstances of his departure, it wouldn't exactly be a huge surprise to suddenly start hearing owners who used to publicly praise him suddenly say "ya know, I never really liked that guy." And while maybe they didn't, there is a definite element of ass covering to that so it won't be easy to say how much of it is true.

The NFL does indeed have something of a vested interest in separating themselves from Richardson, but I suspect their preferred strategy will be to hope he becomes like Lord Voldemort. In those instances where his name does get mentioned though, a corresponding negative tidbit of info wouldn't be a surprise.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
