The rift between the large market and small market owners is pretty well documented....with McNair being mentioned in just about every report about it as being one of the "haves".
This is an article from 2006 where the talk about the rift.

I have speculation from various reports that Politics among NFL owners have hurt our bids for another Super Bowl more than anything . It could all be completely untrue, but it has been mentioned many times from multiple sources. I don't know how much it really has to do with us losing out on the Super Bowl. I think the biggest factor is giving them to teams with new stadium....just like we got ours. The split among the owners however, appears to be real.
