Ranking the NFL Owners

Number 1 is no surprise

2. Jerry Jones, Cowboys

5. Daniel Snyder, Skins

6. Jeffrey Lurie, Eagles
Philly has been hit with some tough circumstances over the past eight months: Franchise quarterback Donovan McNabb's ACL tear (and ensuing drama over his perceived job security, or lack thereof) and Andy Reid's five-and-a-half-week leave of absence this winter as two of the coach's sons faced legal and substance-abuse issues. But Lurie's steady, reasoned ownership style, and the excellent management approach of team president Joe Banner, will keep the organization humming.

The Eagles, for better or worse, stick to a rigid system of player valuation, and it works for them. Lurie is a positive, progressive force in league circles who generates revenue through Lincoln Financial Field, which opened in '03 after the team sank $310 million into the project.

14. John Mara/Jonathan Tisch, Giants

32. Mike Brown, Bengals

I was wondering how long it would take before (or even if) someone would post a thread about this fascinating rankings list.
