The Bears’ worst owner was easily Aaron Rodgers.

Gotta give Jed York some credit for realizing his mistakes. He hired Shanahan and Lynch and stayed out of the way since then.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Kraft giving the Patriots a happy ending.... I see what you did there.

One correction about Cal is that it was Bob McNair that had the inmates quote not Cal

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.

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.

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.

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

The Browns owner actually being a Steelers fan is the most Browns thing ever.

The fuck you Spanos part always gets me.

At least Jim Irsay didn't relocate his team in the middle of the night like his father did

I promise you Baltimore fans hated Bob Irsay more when the team was in Baltimore than current colts fans hate Jim

The browns worst owner is easily art modell

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

“They didn’t do shit from fuck” is now my catchphrase moving forward…. Thanks fivepoints

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.

As a Yinzer once said: "F*ck you, Spanos!"

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.

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

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.*

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.

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.

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.

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

The Browns is either Haslam or Art Modell, Modell literally took the team away from Cleveland and moved them to Baltimore

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Happy ending jokes never stops i love it! Keep it up baldy

I'm right with you on Hugh Culverhouse as a Buc Fan. The Glazers have 2 Super Bowls tho

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.

FivePoints: The Chiefs have never had a bad owner. Chiefs players: Clark Hunt is the worst owner in the league. Really makes you think.

Would love to see the GM version of this list

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.

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.

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.

Dishonorable mention for Randy Lerner. Failure for both the Browns AND Aston Villa.

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

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.

When mentioning Dan Snyder, it’s to note that there was an owner of the team who not only refused to integrate, but was the last to do so by force of law, and Snyder is STILL worse than that guy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Worst owner of the Broncos May have been Homer Simpson

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.

I would have put Georgia Frontiere as the worst Rams owner

As a Giants fan I wouldn't say Mara is horrible It's nice to see the owner actually cares about his team Maybe he gets too involved but I'd rather my owner cares too much then not at all

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).

As a Houston fan who also lives in TN, I'm guessing one of the two owners worse than Dan Snyder is Bud Adams.

That was an Awesome History Lesson/Walk Down Terrible Owners Lane!!

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

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.

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.

You really can’t resist throwing a 28-3 joke in every time you include the falcons in your videos can you?

Mark Davis's haircut reminds me of the way Marvel used to draw Doctor Octopus back in the 70s.

Michael Bidwell has been in control of the Cardinals longer than 2020. If you're a true Cardinals fan you know his dad was worse. He legit would only sign players to get fans to the stadium... not to actually win.

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.

Now, do the best NFL owners for each team.

The John Dutton reference is the daddest dad joke you ever dad-dropped

Georgie Frontier was the worst Rams owner for not paying Dickerson and a million other things

Urinating Tree.... Ahhh, that never gets old....

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.

The Saints did not even have a winning season during John Mecom's ownership. Only TWO seasons at .500 (1979, 1983).

Does Tony Khan count as an owner of the Jags? I think he handles the Jags better than his own wrestling promotion lol

As packers owner, I’d like to think im the best they’ve ever had

Bud adams should have been on this list. Never won a superbowl in his 53 years of owning the oilers and titans. He also moved the oilers out of houston and took the teams history/logos with him just to change the team name to the titans. Talk about a hissy fit.

Enjoyed this video, your next videos should be on worst owners of NHL, NBA, and MLB franchises

Buffalo resident and fan, but my two cents: Ralph Wilson was the worst owner in Bills history. The last two decades under his ownership we flat out sucked. He never invested in the team, nor did he do anything to market the Bills. Pegula, though at times morally dubious, has done more for Buffalo since purchasing the Bills than Ralph did in his last two decades.

Mark Davis’s haircut speaks for the way he owns the team

Found your channel ab a week ago and have watched every video. Love the content!

I was living in Indiana at the time the Colts drafted him. We were somewhat hesitant/hopeful/sort of forgiving after he had ditched Purdue. Still, was seen as a win for getting the hometown boy. His rep tanked almost right away.

gotta do more vids about owners in all sports

We love the hunt family… good people that hv done so much for the city … go chiefs !
