And the truth is finally out...

Jerry Jones and Rogers Goodell have been working partners for years, twisting and pushing the other NFL owners around to get what they see as best... and they were each other biggest supporters... until the Ezekiel Elliott suspension... In other words, they're both part of the NFL's corruption of putting money into their own pockets and not doing what's best for NFL or it's fans.
===========================================================

Jones thought he had a promise from Goodell that Elliot would not be punished, and under that assumption Jones seemed to get the other owners to vote 32-0 for getting Goodell a new contract.

But Jones and Goodell had pushed the other owners around so much, that when this Elliot case came up, the other owners pushed hard on Goodell to do something as Patriots owner said "My guy (Tom Brady) got four games for footballs and there's still nothing on this?"... and it seems that all the pressure made Goodell punish Elliot (instead of dropping it like Jones and maybe Goodell wanted to do).

Elliot being suspended, was the first big moment in the Jones/Goodell unofficial partnership when Jones didn't get what he wanted from Goodell, and worse in Jones' eyes, he did something for Goodell (help get his contract renewed) and Goodell screwed him over by punishing his star player.


In other words, Jones/Goodell's own partnership with each other came back to bite them! And Jones is PISSED that Goodell decided to (or more likely, was forced to) do something against (Jones) someone in the corrupted partnership.


All these quotes are from this ESPN article 

"I'm gonna come after you with everything I have," Jones said. Then he mentioned Deflategate. "If you think Bob Kraft came after you hard, Bob Kraft is a p---y compared to what I'm going to do."

Jerry Jones after hearing of the Elliot Suspension wrote:



For years, America's most powerful sports owner has heaped praise on America's most powerful commissioner for being a visionary, a "grow-the-pie thinker." Jones, now 75, uses a cost-benefit analysis to measure the value of many relationships, and as the NFL grew from a $6 billion-a-year to a $14 billion-a-year enterprise under Goodell, their relationship seemed strong. But then Goodell suspended Elliott, and it's only gotten nastier since



BEFORE ENVISIONING AN NFL without Goodell, Jones needed him in it. More than a decade ago in a league meeting, Jones stood before his fellow owners and, in the words of an executive in the room, "all but begged" for a loan. The price tag had skyrocketed on his $1.3 billion AT&T Stadium, and he needed more cash from the league's G3 loan program.

Jones also knew that many owners were angry with him; years earlier, he had disposed of thousands of seats at Texas Stadium and replaced them with club suites, trading revenue shareable with visiting teams' owners for money that went straight into his own pocket.

So on this day, he told owners that he realized what he had done was unfair -- but that he was building a stadium that would be a great showplace for the NFL and needed tens of millions in additional loans.


But after Jones' speech, owners approved the loan, in no small part because Goodell helped muscle the proposal through in private conversations with owners, selling them on Jones' vision of a football palace. In August 2006, Jones returned the favor. Goodell was elected commissioner, aided in part by Jones, who, along with others, twisted arms to put Goodell over his closest challenger, league attorney Gregg Levy. After Goodell won, the owners were deeply divided. Owners of the smaller-market clubs who had supported Levy worried that Goodell would leave them behind. Goodell had to find concepts that everyone could support, setting up the fight playing out today:



Jones believed there was no case. At the bar, Friel explained to Jones that the Elliott investigation was open and would be indefinitely as she finished her job.

Jones' eyes widened, his brow furrowed. He raised his finger and wagged it in her face. "I'm saying this as an owner!" he yelled. "Your bread and butter is going to get both of us thrown out on the street!"

The bar got quiet. Everyone stared. After a minute or so, a Cowboys executive ushered Jones up to his room.
