I wonder which owner it was that told him that, or something to that effect anyway. Jerrah? The Great Roger Goodell Himself Live and In Person?

If everything is as scripted as it certainly feels sometimes, then Benson has known for a while how this whole thing was gonna play out, cause its his $$ on the line as well
I suspect... Or the way I would have framed it would be like this.
note: When you sit around billionaires you give them the dirty... they are smart enough to figure the rest out.

"Here is the dirty Tom, take one for the shield quietly so we have at least SOMETHING to fight lawsuits with, or leave us with nothing and eventually lose the 978mm value of your team in the long run".. "and go back to selling cars"

"yea... that... the vote.... so far Tom I suppose the count would be 31-1 in our favor"

"I agree this is just like being in prison, you can take it quietly or you can scream.. either way, you are getting it dry".

"If you take it quietly I am sure we can all spare a contribution to your cause".

All 31 teams owners have broken it off in someones arse to get where they are and KNOW how the game is played. (Packers are publicly owned)

I dunno about the Packers being publicly owned. I think all of that was Grade A Fraud.

But now going back to the Owners, one would question also this..........how much influence does Coaches and Staff have on the Owners of a team?

I venture to say plenty.

Coaches and staff influence Owners of NFL teams? As much as managers in a privately owned grocery store have over the owner (in this type of scenario).... Depends on the owner, but I would guess employees that are able to influence the owner of a business are not as prevalent as you would assume... At some point in the org chart the transparency stops, and the calculated message is delivered.

This is pure speculation on my part: There are 3 people who are quiet about Bounty Gate, and have been pretty much very quiet about the whole thing in comparison to the rest. Tom Benson, Mickey Loomis, Sean Payton...

Who influences Jerry Jones? Not the coaches, team, or the fans.

Packers publicly owned is fraud?

Other than a follow-up trip to NY by himself (which still puzzles me, mainly WHY and WHAT came of it), Benson has kept very quiet about this, and other than playing a concert with a pretty high-profile musician who was wearing a "Free Sean Payton" shirt, Sean and Mickey have kept their heads down and quiet. If that's not following what The Great Roger Goodell Himself Live and In Person told them to do from the get-go, I don't know what is.

tl;dr - I'm not holding my breath that we get our 2nd rounder back, but its hard to argue that Benson, Loomis, and Payton haven't kept a respectable silence about this whole debacle/charade, as directed by rog 5 months ago
