I'm a Bills fan for life but betting the over on Allen's passing yards in a blizzard doesn't seem like a smart bet since we're gonna run all day like we did to Dallas, go get your money back
Also Ralph Wilson threatened to move the team numerous occasions to Toronto Seattle Tampa Bay Cleveland San Antonio Houston and wherever there wasn't it there was an NFL team Jacksonville and Carolina was in Charlotte were mentioned in the 90s when the bills were going to we're going to 4 straight Super Bowls
You missed something on the 49ers. Jed York *_DID NOT_* fire himself in 2010. He just gave up the "President" title but kept the "CEO" title. Granted, he was not very good from 2008 through 2010, but in 2017, *_Jed_* was the one who hired *_Kyle Shanahan_* and *_John Lynch_* and that negates anything he did in those first three years... and especially if the 49ers take home another Lombardi Trophy.
so basically shad khan wanted to move the team to london so his crackhead son could run aew from the uk 💀
The Bears’ worst owner was easily Aaron Rodgers.
Good call on Fraudgers
I love how the 2023 packers, without Aaron rodgers, did better than the 2022 packers😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
😂😂😂😂
To quote 5: "GOTTEM"
Favre kinda owned the Bears too, and so far Love is off to a good pace ;D
Gotta give Jed York some credit for realizing his mistakes. He hired Shanahan and Lynch and stayed out of the way since then.
That's exactly why he isn't lower on the list.
Lynch was an okay fire. Shanahan not so much.
Ye
john york was way worse than jed
Bob Irsay was the Colts' worst owner. Was an infamous drunk and took the Colts out of Baltimore in the middle of the night. Talk about sleezeball!
No denying Bob Irsay being a shitty owner and person. But Baltimore tried to pass a bill to steal the team away, so they're definitely partially to blame for what happened.
@ColtsPacers1 Colts being owned by Baltimore and the state of Maryland would have better a disaster.
Yeah, trying to actually communize the Colts is shitty enough to lead to that ultimate FU Bob Irsay dropped on Baltimore.
Not that he wasn't also a not good person
Bob Irsay was a miserable human being. Between the move from Baltimore to Indianapolis, treating players and coaches like trash, making life hard for executives, giving less than a 💩 about the fan experience and the league's reputation... yeah, Bob was outright awful
If it weren't for Ted Marchibroda guiding the Colts to the playoffs during the mid 70's and early 90's when on paper they had no business being there, Bob Irsay would be a worse coach than William Clay Ford of Detroit.
Not so fun fact: as bad as Leonard Tose was he wasn't even the worst owner the Eagles had. That title goes to his successor Norman Brahman who outright refused to pay the Eagles best players, made players pay for their own equipment in a time before any NFL players were getting actual deals, and was so disinterested in the team he owned that his own coach Buddy Ryan outright REFUSED to address him by name and instead simply opted for calling him "That guy in France" because he was never around. He refused to even negotiate with Hall of Famer and possibly best defensive player of the modern era Reggie White for a new deal, and when he FINALLY sold the team to Jeffery Lurie the entire fanbase straight up celebrated.
You beat me to it ... Norman Brainless was the biggest reason why the vaunted Eagles defense dispersed the moment free agency became a thing and oversaw a field turf that makes MetLife look like Pandora. The day he sold to Jeff Lurie was the single greatest day in Eagles history.
Sounds about right...
Yeah, at least Tose cared about the Eagles. Braman would try to get blood out of a stone he was that cheap
100%. Tose might have been bad but by the end he was pitied. Braman, who somehow is still alive, remains the ultimate villan in Philly
Buddy calling him "That guy in France" will always be funny 😂
Rip Buddy Ryan
I appreciate you taking the warranted shots at Jerry Richardson; I’ve seen far too many Panthers fans talk about how Richardson was “a class act” and shouldn’t have been forced to sell for “something everyone does”.
Tepper is a horrible person and a worse owner, but Richardson was a dirty, racist old man who was one of the chief architects of the NFL Holdout a few years back; he was always trying to rig things against the players and fans. Tepper being Tepper doesn’t make Richardson some kind of saint retroactively.
Yeah, I can't help but just feel really bad for Panthers fans as they've only ever had awful owners in their nearly 30 years of operation. I guess here's hoping third time is the charm if you're a Panthers fan!... in like 20 years if you get really unlucky.
Derrick Henry owns the Jaguars, and I hate that man and what he's done to our team, so I guess he's the call for the Jags
LOL
Chris Johnson said hello as well.
As a Texans fan, I feel the greatest sympathy. I remember that decade stretch where we were owned by Peyton Manning, and that was no fun.
That's ... King Henry to you jag fans
@@southernstylegaming8580 He owned everyone NOT named Brady for a decade.
Browns should probably be Art Modell. Haslam isn’t great but at least he cares about the team and is willing to spend more than most owners. Modell on the other hand forced Jim Brown into early retirement and pushed Paul Brown outta the franchise. He single handedly managed to alienate the 2 biggest people in Browns football. And on top of that couldn’t manage his money and had to move the team to Baltimore to fix his finances. He single handedly created 3/4 AFC north teams due to his inability to run an organization.
Fr, add to the fact that we (Browns fans) still despise Modell to this day even after we got our team back
Five Points has a major hate boner for Watson. I don't like him and I think the trade was a mistake, but he lays it on really thick every time.
Lets not forget that even after the move to Baltimore the NFL forced him to sell his team because of his finances.
Lets not forget that even after the move to Baltimore the NFL forced him to sell his team because of his finances.
Thought he’d be #1 for sure
I just dont think Sheila Ford is even remotely as bad as her dad was. Throwing that in seems ridiculous when comparing her mom hiring Fatt Patricia and firing Jim Caldwell, and then the misery that was her dad owning the team.
Some real recency bias in the video, TBH. WCF was miles worse.
Sheila is a big reason why the Lions are good right now, simply by hiring Campbell & Holmes and then bowing out to let them do their thing. Even if it's a small sample size, she's probably a top ten owner rn
I would rate William Clay Ford a worse owner the Hugh Culverhouse. As much as a scumbag as Hugh Culverhouse was, at least the Bucs under his watch came closer to getting to the Super Bowl (1979) than any of WCF's teams ever did. Ford demoralized Barry Sanders and Megatron into early retirements.
Shelia definitely is a pretty good owner
Got them within one game of the Bowl of Supe!
It should also be noted that not only is Virginia McCaskey the oldest owner in the league at 101, but the McCaskeys are also the only owners in the NFL whose primary income is the ownership of their team. Couple that with total incompetence through multiple GMs and coaches since 1985 (except Ryan Poles and Lovie Smith) and you truly have a double doink that will stand the test of time.
Baby Bear is still living?
No, it’s not just because of MCDC or the success of the team. Lions fans love Sheila, she loves the team and the fans and has actually hired competent staff to run it. When they started 1-5 last year Sheila spoke to the fans herself about how it was unacceptable. She’s great
WCF treated the Lions like a toy that he’d play with for a few months then get bored and leave it to rot, and continuously hired morons to run it in his absence.
Well WCF was a moron to begin with & a dry drunk. Russ Thomas stayed on as GM for decades, despite being incompetent, be cause he had been Ford's drinking buddy.
Biggest problem was he wouldn't spend "Ford money" on the Lions . He would only spend the money the Lions generated as a team ... NEVER out of his own pocket.
Kraft giving the Patriots a happy ending....
I see what you did there.
Well let’s see if his OTHER football team can win something
so WHY didn't Bob Kraft face suspension when he was basically Deshawn Watson without the violence...?
You can say that Art Rooney Sr is the best AND worst owner in Steelers history. People forget that for the first 40 years of the Steelers' existence, they were trash as an organization. Only one post-season appearance before Chuck Noll came to town. The two biggest mistakes the Steelers as a franchise ever made was camp cutting Johnny Unitas in 1955 and passing up the chance to draft Jim Brown in 1957. It took hiring Chuck Noll to turn them from the league's biggest laughingstock to the 1970's dynasty and today one of the jewel franchises in the NFL.
I feel for Panthers fans right now because I just got from under the dark cloud that was Dan Snyder. Having an awful owner absolutely sucks. But I'd be lying my ass off if I denied the fact that I am enjoying watching another franchise deal with awful ownership, while not dealing with it myself.
Apparently I looked it up and Snyder was in his mid 30s when he bought the Skins while Tepper was in his early 60s when he bought the Panthers so fans in Carolina still have SOME hope
That's where you're wrong...sort of. The sins of Snyder run deep, and it will take years even done properly to undo the damage to the team's reputation around the NFL and trust in the D.C. community.
@@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly Al Davis made it to 82 and died as the Raiders owner. The Panthers could have another two decades of Tepper.
@@nicholastricarico2957 Oh it's gonna take work for sure, but Snyder being gone by itself is huge for the teams image. Everyone knew that he was the main culprit. Josh Harris is reportedly down to Ian Cunningham and Adam Myers for the head of football ops. Both men according to local reporters, genuinely want the job and want to be in Washington. Hearing that shows how much new ownership means, and as a fan it's very refreshing to hear. Time will obviously tell how everything turns out, but having a place where people actually want to go is a huge step in the right direction.
@@KMC5240 Agreed. That also begins with a new stadium because.... that's needed. The question is whether Harris will attempt to shake down the public, or give them a reasonable offer.
One correction about Cal is that it was Bob McNair that had the inmates quote not Cal
SHIT lol
@@FivePointsVidsbro you got everything about it wrong 😭
all good, it happens@@FivePointsVids . Great video overall
Not only was it Bob but he was talking about the GMs and other executives of teams not the players 😂
“They didn’t do shit from fuck” is now my catchphrase moving forward…. Thanks fivepoints
Victor Kiam actually owned the Patriots before Orthwein. Kiam was pretty bad especially in 1990 when the team went 1-15 and the team is known for several players sexually harassing a reporter in the locker room that season.
I was surprised it wasn't Kiam, he was awful!
but hey..... buy my electric razors.. !
Kiam actually blamed the reporter for the players exposing themselves in her presence.
The fuck you Spanos part always gets me.
As a Bills fan, while I appreciate everything Ralph Wilson did as an owner, his biggest as well was that he was cheap as hell, especially in his later years. Major reason why they went on a 17 year playoff drought, wouldn’t pay the rare good players they did draft and would let them go to free agency or trade them for peanuts
Ralph was old school about money. He couldn’t change with the times
Mr. Wilson was always a cheapskate. Go back to the Bills' AFL days when Pete Gogolak wanted more money for his services as pro football's first modern (soccer-style) kicker. Yet Wilson wouldn't offer what Gogolak wanted, and the NFL's Giants lured him away, sparking what would result in the AFL/NFL Merger.
If it wasn't for Bill Polian becoming General Manager of the Bills in 1986, this franchise wouldn't even be playing in Western New York today. Especially with the talent he acquired that formed the nucleus of the Bills' Super Bowl teams of the early-90's. That was the only period where Mr. Wilson was forced to open his checkbook.
Living in Buffalo, I could see the change almost immediately once Pegula took over. The Bills started to pay the players, like you said, but the team started to become more mainstream. Everywhere around here, there's something Bills related. It blows my mind to see Josh Allen on the cover of Madden.
I appreciate Ralph Wilson and the history, but Terry Pegula was a needed change.
"Ralph is cheap" was the cry by the uninformed Bills fan so much it became a joke.
Ralph was not cheap when his team went to 4 straight super bowls.
After that did he make poor decisions? Yes. No one likes to say it but the main problem was his age and that he grew to not trust anyone. He did not hire the best people out there, he hired people he trusted. That is how Marv Levy, a great coach, became General Manager, a job he was ill-suited for, at the request of Ralph.
Money poorly spent is a better answer.
As a Rams fan it’s has to be Georgia Frontiere. She ran the team to the ground, moved them to Anaheim for reasons, and then moved them to St Louis.
Was kinda fascinating taking a little dive into the Packers considering their unique ownership status.
And yes, as a Raiders fan, Mark Davis's hair is a sin against nature.
I'm really hoping he's actually learned his lesson from the Josh McDaniels debacle and keeps Antonio Pierce around a little longer.
Also: Always glad to hear more dunking on Spanos, any time, anywhere. :D
Keep Pierce unless you can get Jim Harbaugh then keep Pierce as DC.
@@lamontbradford4630 I like it. I do fear that Harbaugh's personality might come off too similar to McDaniels, except for the fact that Harbaugh's actually proven himself in the NFL before.
Yep, they decided to keep Pierce. As a Chiefs fan, I was hoping they’d make another ridiculous hire. Looks like they’ve got a competent head coach now😞
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Mark Davis has officially proven to be smarter than David Tepper (like that was hard to do).
Of course, you still have the Hunt family as owners and Andy Reid as the coach, so you'll still be the team to beat. At least we have a fighting chance now.
There's a reason Al never wanted Mark anywhere near the Raiders. Even senile old Al Davis could see his son was a drooling idiot who would destroy what he created.
At least Jim Irsay didn't relocate his team in the middle of the night like his father did
Right literally at night smh
Nor did he get drunk on Fridays and look for people to fire.
@@thepubknight6144 And repeatedly lied about not moving the team, when it was CLEAR he was talking to other cities about moving!
I mean no other NFL city had ever tried to steal a team from its owner by communising their team. During the Cold War
Bad owner sure, but also completely stupid move by the city that even of Bob didn't move would likely not be recognized by the NFL and they would have moved cities anyways, and won any lawsuit through a Grandfather argument.
Yeah you can say everything else but him moving in the middle of the night because the city is trying to steal his shit makes sense no matter who you are
Jim boy might be an addict, but as far as actually owning the team is concerned, he is better than his father. There probably aren't many people who could say they're a bigger fan of the Colts than Jim Irsay. That alone makes him better than Bob ever was. He actually cares about his football team. Bob didn't care nearly as much.
The Browns owner actually being a Steelers fan is the most Browns thing ever.
As a Steelers fan, unfortunately we know
As a Yinzer once said: "F*ck you, Spanos!"
And many San Diegans.
and now he has a$$hole Harbaugh as coach........
Actually Chip Rosenbloom’s mother Georgia Frontiere was the LA Rams worst owner! She was the one who ran the team into the ground. The “Greatest Show on Turf” had more to do with luck and Dick Vermiel than anything else.
Clark Hunt is great. He opens up his checkbook and he'll do what his players/coaches/fans want, for better or worse. He also lets who he hires do their job and stays out the way unlike the bowl-cut.
Yep. He’s around the team, which shows he cares about what’s going on, but he doesn’t meddle.
He hires good people & let’s them do their job. He’ll also pull the trigger & fire someone if it’s warranted & not let them hang around too long. I also loved how aggressive he was when the Chiefs went after Andy Reid. He saw the guy he wanted, knew it was a rare chance to get a head coach of his caliber & he didn’t hesitate to get him to KC as soon as possible.
I have no clue how Bud Adams isn't on this list. Also, that was Bob McNair and not Cal with the "Inmates" quote, but with a qualifier. It came from an anonymous source in a player/owner meeting, when he was in a public pay dispute with Duane Brown (who pulled the "my guaranteed money is out, I want a new deal" trick). Brown was *in* the meeting.
Yes, I’m surprised that Bud Adams wasn’t mentioned here.
I’m sure people in Houston would like to piss on his grave, too.
Art Rooney II: the worst owner of the Steelers by the sheer power of Default (TM). This should tell you a lot about how good the Steelers' owners are.
If it weren't for Chuck Noll, Art Rooney Sr would be on the Mt. Rushmore of bad NFL owners. People forget that the Steelers for the first 40 years of their existence were utter trash.
Art Rooney really should be the easy choice there. He couldn't field a good team for fucking ages, the only reason he was able to in the 70s is that the NFL paid him a shitload of money in 1970 and he used it to pay players for a while until the city of Pittsburgh started liking his team for winning Super Bowls.
The browns worst owner is easily art modell
Exactly. I’m surprised that wasn’t mentioned here.
I mean, he helped get the Browns 15 playoff appearances, 11 division titles, and the 1964 NFL Title! He also helped get our Browns on the first Monday Night Football game. All those were wonderful things. However, he vowed never to move the team and did. Which was arguably the most upsetting moment in Cleveland sports history.
The Bears returning to glory will happen the same way the Blackhawks and Cubs returned to glory as grim as it may sound: *through the passing of the owner into the afterlife.*
Same could be said about the white Sox too
Or the Chicago Bulls
Why is Chicago sports like this?
I don't know, I think Virginia McCaskey might outlive all of us. Might have something to do with that phylactery that's kept under heavy guard up in Lake Forest.
You make it sound like the Blackhawks 3 Stanley Cups were 75 years ago
The Browns is either Haslam or Art Modell, Modell literally took the team away from Cleveland and moved them to Baltimore
It’s definitely Art Modell. He’s still well hated and he’s not even alive anymore.
I'm surprised that Browns fans haven't looked for his grave and make it a public toilet
Model brought the NFL back to Baltimore. We love him.
@@TimCarter it’s sad he did it by fucking another city over in the exact same way Baltimore got fucked over.
@TimCarter Baltimore is allowed to love him, Cleveland will never.
Also, there's the whole "team history stays in Cleveland" bit, so he can still be considered the worst Browns owner ever since he basically was given a different franchise when he moved to Baltimore
I promise you Baltimore fans hated Bob Irsay more when the team was in Baltimore than current colts fans hate Jim
I feel like we need a in depth video on George Preston Marshall. I have yet to see anyone really talk about how terrible he was. I get he had trouble integrating but there has to be more then just that.
That bum didn’t want to intergrate a team in a town that was 80% Black
There's definitely recency bias in this video.
I’m screenshooting this comment just in case it comes to fruition. I can say that I was with you from very beginning
@@louisminati I didn’t even watch it and I thought of him when I saw the title. Idek if he’s mentioned but he’s up there for sure
Saying he had trouble integrating is like saying David Duke had a slight misunderstanding with black people 😂
Shelia ford hamp took over when her mother realized she was too old to run the team and she knew immediately what needed to change hamp has actually cared about the team which is why brad Holmes and Dan Campbell are in Detroit today
Stephen Ross isn’t the worst Dolphins owner, that would easily be Wayne Huizenga (also a terrible owner of the Marlins who stumbled into 2 World Series winning rosters and traded them all away the offseason after including Miguel Cabrera). Ross has made some decisions that have cost the Dolphins, but Ross did those in an effort to bring the Dolphins to prominence, and he’s never been afraid to spend big money in free agency
Huizenga? Didn't he also own the Florida Panthers for a minute?
@@sportsmaster1364he was one of the founders of the Panthers.
@@sportsmaster1364 founder. No surprise that the Florida Panthers like the Marlins have been terrible most of their existence, same as the Marlins. Almost like having a cheap ass owner will do that to you
the second Marlins team that won it all was Jeff Loria's
who may have been just as if not cheaper than Huizenga
that guy also had a big 2012 offseason when the team got their new stadium, only to trade away almost every big contract by the trade deadline
As a colts fan jim is basically that drunk fun overly honest uncle who is embarrassing but you can't help but love him anyway
And an absolute choir boy compared to his father.
Yup.
He may be a drunk and he has made many questionable moves in recent years, but compared to his father Bob Irsay he is Robert Kraft competent.
His "oppressed" comment was cringe
13:56 Minor tidbit: Sullivan first sold the team to Victor Kiam in 1988 (while Robert Kraft got Foxboro Stadium with his bid) but because Kraft would not let Kiam move the team (i.e. the attempt to move it to Jacksonville) and because Kiam had lost money to bad investments, he ended up selling the team to James Orthwein who in turn sold it to Kraft as you described in the video.
For the Giants, John Mara is, as you said, not a terrible owner. He’s absolutely willing to massively spend on coaching and personnel. Also he’s not a cheap owner in general. What let’s him down is that he’s tried to meddle too much in the front office and the nepotism has backfired most of the time unfortunately.
I wouldn't say Jed York is our worst owner. Hell he's mostly liked. His parents, John and Denise, yes. Much worse. They essentially ruined what Eddie D built and it didn't really get better until Jed took over.
Well Jed along with Trent Baalke did run Jim Harbaugh out of town for nothing else but pride and ego.
@SmoothCriminal12 yeah you are right. But he then made up for it by hiring Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch a few years later and staying out of their way. John and Denise tore apart the team. Fired Mariucci, let Garcia, T.O., Julian Petterson and others walk cause they didn't want to pay em. They didnt care about the team like Eddie D or Jed they only saw profit
Denise Debartolo-York and John York were the worst.
Browns have had one bad owner after another. Art Modell. Then Al Lerner who helped Art move, then David Lerner who didn't care about football and then Haslam
Haslams are hated in Cleveland but LOVED in Columbus
@@ademirsegura6307 Haslem is a legit criminal also
His name was Randy Lerner, not David. I think that you’re confusing him for Art’s son. You put the two together.
Cal McNair did let some seriously dumb shit happen. But you are really wrong about the turn around only coming from Meko and C.J. They absolutely killed it in the 2023 draft, have like 70 million in cap space to play with next year and have put the right people in charge. This is all because he is letting Nick Cassario do his job. I'm guessing that Jannis got in Cals ass about how he was running the team and changes were made
He was also wrong about Inmate quote, that was his father Bob saying that, not Cal
@@bryson1482 yes thats correct
Will Anderson Jr. ... Derek Stingley Jr... Nico Collins... Tank Dell... Devin Singletary ... those guys are also key cogs to the Texans success this year. Now, all they need to do is strengthen up that offensive line and keep CJ in one piece and there will be some fun times over the next few years at 610 Loop and Kirby Drive.
Before I clicked on the video, I knew the worst Pats owner would be Billy Sullivan. And then I was wrong, because we as a fan base have basically tried to blank those two years of Orthwein's ownership from our collective memory.
You want to know the funniest thing Mecom did as an owner? In the early 70s, he hired an astronaut as a GM because Mecom thought anyone can run a football team. And while he was giving the press conference, Dallas Cowboys were winning Super VI
Baltimore fans are the biggest hypocrites. They are still mad at Irsay who’s no longer around for moving the Colts to Indy 40 years ago. But embrace a Two face like Modell who did the same thing as Irsay plus he got rid of Two icons of Cleveland Paul and Jim Brown.
Pats worst is Victor Kiam. Tenure was a clown show capped by a 1-15 season in 1990 under Rod Rust with off the field issues. Orthwein was definitely not better but he did bring Parcells to Foxboro.
Orthwein was angling to move the Pats to St. Louis. Kiam was in way over his head, but he at least didn't entertain the notion of pulling out of NE
100 percent spot on. Kiam also had a little bit of a sexual harassment scandal to deal with, plus the franchise was such a laughing stock, you couldn't have paid anyone to drive down Route 1 to watch a game in Foxborough. Between the time that the Sullivans sold the Pats to Kiam and when that clown finally left, the Patsies would've made the Warshington Commies look like the gold standard of the NFL. Yes, it was that bad (though I wouldn't expect any gullible millennials to *ever* acknowledge that the Patsies of the late 1980s and early 1990s were a dumpster fire.
@@CreightonRabs I don't know if you heard this story... Somewhere in the early to mid 90's, the Massachusetts Assembly was amidst a debate on funding a domed stadium to replace Schaeffer Stadium (bear with me on the spelling, too many years passed). One of the legislators not exactly on board with the idea said, "Why would we spend the money to watch the Pats trade 65 yard punts all day?"
😄😄😅😅🤣🤣💀🪦
and he called a female reporter a classic B---h
Red McCombs' final act as owner of the Vikings was to trade away Randy Moss the offseason right after the Vikings' big playoff win at Lambeau - and got practically zilch in return.
The only real reason he did so was because he hated Moss and wanted him off the team.
That move alone makes McCombs out to be Hitler in the eyes of Vikings fans. Dude literally made a last "fuck you" to the team as he went out the door.
He was also big on moving the Vikings to San Antonio, which didn't help his popularity.
Yeah Red was a cheap bastard.
I didn’t get the unwarranted shot at Zygi in the video though. He upgraded facilities, got a stadium built, isn’t afraid to spend money and stays largely in the background. What more could you want from an NFL owner?
@isaacs3822 I agree about the Wilfs.
Plus they were persistent enough to push until the 11th hour until our stubborn state legislators finally agreed to a deal.
(You won't believe how out of touch our state leg was regarding stadiums. Even after watching the North Stars leave, they were famously content with having *all* of our sports teams rot in the Metrodome - a stadium that the NFL, MLB and the U of M hated.)
Really the only real mistake the Wilfs made was hanging on to Rick Spielman too long as GM.
The Vikings were never going to move to San Antonio the Stadium was too small and both the Texans and Cowboys would have voted against a possible move
I'm glad the Ravens have never had a terrible owner. Modell was a better owner in Baltimore than he was in Cleveland, and Bisciotti inherited the vision he had when they moved here and has taken it to new heights. As long as Bisciotti is still the owner and Ozzie Newsome is still in the organization, the Ravens will be contenders year in and year out like they've been for almost 25 years.
I think it helps Baltimore that Modell wasn’t the owner for long after the move. You guys dodged a major bullet with him and wouldn’t be able to pay for those awesome defenses on personal loans
Happy ending jokes never stops i love it!
Keep it up baldy
George Preston Marshall might have been somehow worse than Dan Snyder, if only because GPM was cartoonishly racist and his refusal to integrate kneecapped the team for years.
I'm right with you on Hugh Culverhouse as a Buc Fan. The Glazers have 2 Super Bowls tho
I Can Already Tell That Dan Snyder Is Already On This List
Dominic Olejniczak gets a dishonorable mention as Packers Team President, while the Packers were WILDLY successful in the 60's, Dom oversaw the team until Robert Parins took over, which means he was President during the 70's also. Dom was President from 1958-1982, and it was during the 70's the Packers had Dan Devine at head coach, and had Bart Starr for 9 years too long as head coach. Oh and only 2 QB's started a full season during the 70's, Scott Hunter who was the last QB to win a division for the Packers until 1995, and Charlie Whitehurst's dad David Whitehurst in 1978.
an interesting fact about Jimmy Haslam: his Brother Bill was the 49th Governor of Tennessee from 2011 to 2019 and is set to becoming Majority owner of the Nashville Predators by July of next year. hopefully he isn't as inept as his brother at running a sports franchise.
The Inmates running the Prison was actually Bob McNair. A lot of the recent smart moves within the team management been credited to Cal's Wife, Hannah McNair.
Would love to see the GM version of this list
If you ask any long time Los Angeles Rams fans - it has to be Georgia Froniter (sp) . She traded away Eric Dickerson threes after setting the still all time rushing record. The team drafting in 90s , trading away future HOFer Jerome Bettie after two years and have the team move to St Louis.
And yet....the St. Louis Rams won the Superbowl in '99 & lost a close one in 2001! Prior to the last 2-3 years what have the "L.A. Rams done????? Jim Everette?
Yea I don't see how she was a bad owner
Yeah but Stan Krone won us SB , made Sofi Stadium and actually made the playoffs this year despite this year being a year 2 rebuilding year.
i always applaud FPV. hes so good at telling us when the Ads come in at the beginning of the video so i know exactly when to skip past them...
I met Ken Behring when I was working for a newspaper in Shanghai 14 years ago and interviewed him about the wheelchair foundation. He tried to get me to ghostwrite a second autobiography for him. Just had to mention as it’s a name that doesn’t come up often hahaha
That was an Awesome History Lesson/Walk Down Terrible Owners Lane!!
Detroit Lions: Absolutely insane to act like it's a remotely close race between William Clay Ford and anyone else. Acting like Sheila just barely manages to rank ahead of her father's half-century of futility by "lucking" into Dan Campbell is such a weirdly harsh stance to take against her. She's only been owner since 2020, inherited the whole Matt Patricia/Bob Quinn debacle, and within 4 seasons, brought the Lions their first division title in 30 years (missing the playoffs on a tiebreaker last year).
Martha's tenure was certainly lousy in its own right, but again, even mentioning her 6 seasons of ownership in the same breath as her husband is odd.
With regards to Tampa drafting Bo Jackson despite saying he wouldn’t play there, I feel like you missed an opportunity to mention the fact that he refused to play there because they allegedly sabatoged his eligibility for the rest of the college baseball season. Now it was never proven that it was intentional, but I believe Bo that they did it and they did it on purpose.
5:39 - Jim Irsay is heads and shoulders better than his father Bob Irsay as owner. At least the Colts won a Super Bowl under Jim Irsay's watch. Under Bob Irsay's watch, he turn the Colts from one of the jewel NFL franchises from the Johnny Unitas years to a league laughingstock of the late 70's and 80's.
David Tepper is the kind of owner trying to hire a chef for his restaurant.
But he won't let the chef buy the groceries and forces the chef to use expired Mayonnaise in every dish.
Cal did some pretty stupid shit but he's starting to be a good owner. He's not afraid to spend and Hannah and him are more present in the community. When his father died he wasn't ready. The inmate thing it was Bob that said that.
Mecom was maybe not only the least successful NFL owner ever, but also probably the stingiest. He tolerated paying Archie Manning as much as he did only to ensure people would keep showing up to games because Manning was a local legend. Any other quality player they walked ass backwards into he would trade immediately rather than risk having to pay them a dime of market value. The Saints were STRICTLY an entity designed for him to extract profit from with as little investment as was humanly possible at the time.
Remember Virginia was also the person responsible for getting rid of the Bears Cheerleading Squad.
The John Dutton reference is the daddest dad joke you ever dad-dropped
Colts fan here. Missed the mark on that one. With all of Jim's problems, we like him way more than his father. Bob was a miserable drunk mess that chased good players away.
Dishonorable mention for Randy Lerner. Failure for both the Browns AND Aston Villa.
He didn’t even want to be an owner!
As a Houston fan who also lives in TN, I'm guessing one of the two owners worse than Dan Snyder is Bud Adams.
Color me shocked.
He should be, and it's not even *close*. Houston bias aside. How many other owners fined a player for attending the birth of their own son?
Fun fact about Shahid Khan... He's a partial owner of a company by the name of Flex N Gate LLC, which is a automotive part production company (third party), that primarily produces parts that are the same quality of the football team
Urinating Tree.... Ahhh, that never gets old....
I do feel bad for Browns fan. I know the feeling as an Orioles fan because Peter Angelos grew up a Yankees fan. It's the worst part of sports, not being able to fire a terrible owner.
As a Texans fan, Cal is learning. Yes his first fee years managing the team for his mother was like watching Chris Farley in Tommy Boy try to manage an NFL team.
But just like the end of that movie it seems Cal might have learned from bad mistakes, gotten rid of garbage within the organization, and might actually buckle down and take the job of running an auto parts manuf…. I mean an NFL franchise seriously.
Cal seems too stupid to run an NFL team.
Now, do the best NFL owners for each team.
As the best Packers owner, I would gladly donate my time to do an interview.
For the Ravens, it would also be Steve
Easy #1 Would be Lamar and then Clark Hunt for the Kansas City Chiefs
Mark Davis's haircut reminds me of the way Marvel used to draw Doctor Octopus back in the 70s.
I think the inmates comment was by Bob McNair, not Cal.
Also I'd argue that even if you ignore how the Colts left Baltimore, Bob Irsay was worse than Jim both as an owner and as a person. He took a perennial contender and ran it into the ground, only making the playoffs 3 times between 1978 and his 1997 death. Medled with coaches and executives frequently and was accused by multiple players of negotiating in bad faith. The team was such a shitshow by 1983 that John Elway refused to play for them.
Enjoyed this video, your next videos should be on worst owners of NHL, NBA, and MLB franchises
Thanks!!!
Add MLS cause u should see how Kraft treats the Revolution spending money on happy endings than the team
Sullivan sold it to Victor Kiam, he of the Remington razor commercials of the 1980s (I loved it so much I bought the company). Kraft owned the stadium and wouldn’t let him move.
Does Tony Khan count as an owner of the Jags? I think he handles the Jags better than his own wrestling promotion lol
His father owns it but I've heard Tony is mostly in charge although that might have changed with him owning aew plus they got a soccer team
@ccmcgaming327 I don't know what was more embarrassing for Khan this week. Getting knocked out of the playoffs by the Titans, or getting one upped by Jinder Mahal on Twitter lol
I'd say yes. Tony is already in charge of football ops, so he is definitely being positioned to take over should anything happens to his father.
The modern Herb Abrams lol
@@sirekumasutra7022 I don't know if I'd go THAT far... yet...
Art Modell anyone? He was the original Ravens owner, and was scum. Rat Modell moved the Browns out of Cleveland and turned them into the Ratbirds - while the team had plenty of success on the field, he's forever hated for what he did to Cleveland.
Jimmy is an easy target for understandable reasons but man Randy Lerner or Art Modell have to be it. Randy literally never cared about the team and sent it spiraling into a purgatory that TANKED a once great team's reputation. They had one winning season during his tenure and it was by and large an accident. He only ever kept the browns to make his mom happy which definitely not make Cleveland happy
And Art... Well where to start? Drove away one of the greatest coaches of all tims because of ego, couldnt manage to make money WITH AN NFL TEAM and spat on the whole city, moving away and blaming them for the fact that he couldn't manage a team when the city would have done damn near anything to keep the browns in Cleveland.
Jimmy is a scumbag and a fool but he seems at the very least to care about the team and the town. Aside from...you know, he's found the right guys and let em cook.
I feel for the fans, but Al Lerner and Mike White were partially responsible for the Browns’ exodus. I really fault Art for taking responsibility off the city’s hands to begin with! He didn’t really know how to share revenue and once Dick Jacobs left, it was all downhill! He doesn’t get a pass, but the politicians weren’t innocent people.
Shoutout to using the Almost Live footage for Ken Behring. There was a real chance that if Ken did move the team and 1995 didn't happen for the Mariners, Seattle would have zero sports teams right now.
Oh no, Pegula knows the Sabres exist. It's why he put his wife in a high up position and that was one of the reasons they were absolutely terrible for a couple years(2020-21 for example, they went a month without a win).
15:33 Nice use of the "Almost Live" clip there0
Found your channel ab a week ago and have watched every video. Love the content!
Awesome! Thank you!
gotta do more vids about owners in all sports
I would have put Georgia Frontiere as the worst Rams owner
We love the hunt family… good people that hv done so much for the city … go chiefs !
Worst owner of the Broncos May have been Homer Simpson
As a colts fan I find it hard to say that Jim Irsay is a bad owner. Yes the DUIs and Jeff Saturday things weren’t great, but players ALWAYS come back around. Whether it’s Edge (James), Reggie, Mathis, Peyton, McAfee, Marvin, etc, they still support the team and still show up when they don’t have to. Edge did the big screen video for the colts home games this season and Pat McAfee is usually in attendance at colts home games as well. Maybe it’s more about the fans, but Jim Irsay is definitely part of the reason they still come back around.
FivePoints: The Chiefs have never had a bad owner.
Chiefs players: Clark Hunt is the worst owner in the league.
Really makes you think.
FC Dallas: he’s worse in Dallas
The Saints did not even have a winning season during John Mecom's ownership. Only TWO seasons at .500 (1979, 1983).
Hey 5 Points. How about a worst NHL owners video? Ever heard of Harold Ballard? Now that's an owner. Lmao
Lol yeah he was a piece of SHIT
Mark Davis should be forced to sell the Raiders for that haircut alone. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Adam, I'm surprised you didn't put Uche with his clown face in the Jags part.
I love how you added "Fuck you, Spanos" by The Urinating Tree. Well played, buddy.
The ford joke made me laugh out loud at midnight
Do a video on worst owners in other sports (NBA, MLB,NHL)
You really can’t resist throwing a 28-3 joke in every time you include the falcons in your videos can you?
Jim Irsay also collects a lot of rare guitars, and that pisses off people because he can buy anything he wants while others might have a lot less money to throw around.
