I also wanted to quote your post again because it's a good one, and I think it applies almost to any business in general. Take a show like "undercover boss", and it really jumps out at you - the owners in general are very clueless about the nature of their business. Even more couldn't even satisfactorily function in any kind of day to day aspect of their business. What makes them successful is that most of the time they are as you said, hiring competent professionals to make the decisions, etc...
It is really only my opinion mom and pop / family businesses that are basically inept (Dad is owner, Mom is president, Cousin Cooter is CFO etc...) that fail miserably because ownership insists in putting only family in management positions and then nobody knows what to do about anything, seeing as most never made it out of high school or had any kind of business experience.
A ++ on your post. It should almost be a sticky to any NFL owner / owner in general. Leave everything up to professional management, come out once in a while and wave your little hat, sign autographs, and smile for the kids, etc. If it comes down to you as the owner trying to think about or do something, GTFO and consult someone who is a lot smarter than you at whatever decision you are trying to make
