NFL

The Glazers would be considered top owners by this definition. Two SB to their albeit having one of the worst win % in that span.

Thanks Stan

Your teams have checkbooks?

Rooneys don't have the biggest bank account, but they get everything else pretty spot on. Stable as fuck in Pittsburgh lol

Ehhh, you can be too hands off though. Shad Khan gave Gus Bradley, Doug Marrone, and Dave Caldwell far too many chances

Similar to clients that want to 'help' design the website or app they hired you to make. Fuck off Johnny and Jacob, you're real estate marketing idiots - not designers, developers, nor clever in any way. And Johnny, you kind of smelled like pickles EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. WE. MET.

^(ahem.)

I don’t think that this is the full story. The best owners in the NFL are the ones who open their check-book but are also smart enough know when they have a good Coach and GM.

Enjoying the Waltons as owners so far. Already spent over a quarter billion so far on the new score board, a new facility on the way and stadium renovations. Plus small things like replacing the field halfway through the season

the best owners are the ones who meddle in the fan experience and don’t meddle in the football operations

I am a fan of Biscotti

Love this cause it’s not even objective — just straight fact

Can say it about every sports franchise owner, not just the NFL

This is a semi-bad take. A good owner should be involved the same way a good CEO runs a company. Set a vision and standards then put the right people in place and trust them to do their jobs. Set expectations and measure progress. Make adjustments as necessary. It's about the right balance of maintaining accountability without meddling.

Being a blank check and going away is just a different extreme and will also be unsuccessful.

@ Tepper

Paul Allen, rest his soul, was just like that.
