Harlan ranks as 16th best NFL "owner"

Green Bay Packers CEO Bob Harlan was rated as the NFL's 16th best owner as ranked by Sports Illustrated's SI.com.

Of course, Harlan doesn't own the team. But he's the closest thing to an owner in the NFL's only publicly owned franchise.

Michael Silver writes, "Harlan, the 70-year-old CEO of the league's sole publicly owned team, had planned to step aside for team president John Jones. But Jones was placed on administrative leave in May -- four days before he was supposed to take over -- meaning Harlan will stay on until another successor is in place. The good news is that the Packers have already pulled off a successful renovation of Lambeau Field and are on strong footing financially."
