At a time when his punishment of the Patriots has called into question his relationship with owner Robert Kraft, its interesting to see who Roger Goodells allies are.
One of them apparently resides in Dallas.
Hes doing a great job, and Im a supporter of his, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said, via Tim MacMahon of ESPNDallas.com.
Jones went onto say that one of Goodells strengths is fairness, which more than a few people in Boston have wondered about lately.
But its not as if Goodell hasnt had to come down on Jones, as prime free agent pickup Greg Hardy was suspended 10 games for last years domestic violence incident.
On the other hand, Goodells four-game suspension to Tom Brady takes him out of play for New Englands game against the Cowboys, so maybe that evens the scale.
While Kraft is viewed as having great influence in the league, the reality is Goodell has 31 other bosses, many of whom havent had the kind of recent success the Patriots have.
