Jimmy Johnson calls Jerry Jones' G.M. claims a "crock"

[TwentyOne]

As a coach he has been very successfull with the Boys. But Jimmy Johnson talks alot of crap just to stay in the focus of the media.

In fairness, that's his job now.

I don't think it holds water anyway. Jimmy has treated the Cowboys with kid gloves over the years. Rarely has he ever spoken out on what he knows is the actual problem with this team.

Agreed, and I was being a bit tongue in cheek.

But I don't remember Jerry ever out and out taking credit for building or even helping to build the dynasty teams before.

Jimmy said it himself - his source of pride with those teams was that he built them and coached them himself to championships. I would be pretty ticked too if 20 years later some incompetent putz started taking credit for my achievements. Him calling out Jerry is certainly warranted.

It's why I love Jimmy though. He still loves the Cowboys today. He still feels connected to them and I don't doubt it at all that he's angry over our situation. He wants us to win. Even though, like you said, he's got every reason to hold a grudge over the guy running this team.

I don't see him as a Cowboys hater at all. I think he's just south of Michael Irvin as the biggest media friend this team has.

Interesting since that show everyone is so pumped up on Jimmy about, his football life, (Which was actually very good btw) he makes the point of saying that Jerry takes a lot of crap, and he shouldn't, for Johnson leaving because Johnson himself (Once again) that he was wanting out and looking for a way to get out. I'm guessing though that Jimmy is only lying about that part but telling the truth about all the other parts? lol

I agree with this but you either don't listen to Jimmy all the time of you ignore the parts that you don't want to hear in you love of him because he's not anti-Jerry at all. He's mentioned things about this, including in that show and an interview he did with Dale Hansen a few years ago that you can also find on youtube, that he he believes Jerry takes heat for stuff he shouldn't and that Jerry is a great owner.



After watching A Football Life I'm even more ashamed of them both now then I was even prior to it because it's obvious they're both egomanics who screwed over their team and their entire fanbase over petty crap.


I recall Darryl Johnston saying once that the team was disappointed in both of them because those two guys were preaching to all their players that if they kept doing what they were supposed to that when they started winning Superbowls there would be enough credit to go around for everyone.

Then they start winning and the two guys preaching this to them immediately couldn't live by that and started acted like spoiled children because neither of them was being allowed to take all the credit.

Pathetic.

Indeed it does. And Pravda said the Russian people were free -- did you believe that too?
