Daseal:

There is a HUGE middle ground between Danny Boy's ownership style and the owner who is there only to minimize costs and make profits on the team regardless of the fact that they are 5-11 in "good years" and 2-14 in "bad years".

As an example, look at the ownership/managerial styles of Bob Kraft, Jeffrie Lurie, the Rooneys, Jim Irsay (NOT his father, Bob Irsay), Steve Bischotti (sp?) or Pat Bowlen.
