. >> rose: we continue with talk about nfl and professional football's upcoming season with jerry jones, the owner of the dallas cowboys, and jerry richardson, owner of the carolina panthers. >> what you won't see is the kind of leadership that was involved, from the owner's perspective, by jerry richardson, as our chairman. everybody was certainly unified, and we all had one goal in mind. and that was rather than before it goes over the cliff, like we wish we had done in this country 10 years ago, make the changes now in the business model that will grow the pie because it's too great a game, it's too great for our fans, and it's a wonderful opportunity for everybody involved. and this deal accomplished that. >> we have what i would say, charlie, was a classic collaborative effort, unlike, maybe, any i've ever known in business. we had 22 owners that entrusted their teams to a committee of 10 to represent them, and throughout the entire process-- it started in may of 2008-- we were prepared financially, legally and as coach said, we were united and we were resolu resolute, and some of
