Das Texan Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I'd make this a poll, but I really dont want to sit down and type out over 100 choices, so having said that.... Who in your opinion are the 5 best owners in all of professional sports, focusing on MLB, NFL, NHL, and the NBA. Please when you list your names, give a little reasoning behind your choices. You dont have to list 5, but please dont list more than 5. This should be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Tank Frenzy Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Jerry Jones Mark Cuban Mickey Arison George Steinbrenner These are in no particular order just ones that came to my mind first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marlins02 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 MLB- George Steinbrenner NBA- Mickey Arison NFL- Wayne Huizenga, Jerry Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSwift25 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 George Steinbrenner, Mark Cuban, Jerry Jones, Frank McCourt, James Dolan (NHL, not NBA). All 5 of them have given their teams a blank check to win with and know how to gain exposure for their franchises in the appropriate channels. I left off Huizenga because all you have to do with the Dolphins is have the money, he didn't reestablish anything like Steinbrenner or create something like Cuban. I left off Arison because, well, he was fortunate enough to have Shaq and Wade fall into his lap, and plenty of NBA owners did what he did in the salary cap less era.

Iowa Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 An owner is one thing compared to a GM I'll take Cuban over anybody if we're talking strictly owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins havent done much of anything since he bought them yes, great. the man has gone all out with the dolphins trying to get them to the top whether through spending on players, coaches whatever and now all the money he's putting into the stadium. yeah theyve struggled a lot the last few years but thats because of bad drafts and player moves, that aint the owner's fault.

MVPosey Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Eddie DeBartelo>>>>>all of course, the NFL forced him to hand over the team to his braindead sister and jackass brother in law, so my vote goes to either George Steinbrenner and Mark Cuban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
