I doubt Jason is going anywhere although a coaching change would "stir things up."

That would only stir things up if he brought in a real coach and I don't mean Norv Turner.

Ah ye of little faith.

Jerry is adding more stripper poles to the stadium as we speak, to promote the Papa John Dancers!!!

What is saddest to me, as an older guy and a LONG time fan of the Cowboys is that most of our younger fan base doesn't really relate to what WAS our history. All that they have known for the years that they have followed the Cowboys is this clown of a GM. His best years were his first 5 for a very specific reason. Jimmy Johnson. Ever since it has been a pattern of mediocrity. We have changed coaches, QB's, players, schemes, and the one thing that never changes is the circus master. What is worse is that because he owns the team the fan base is powerless, unless it is really willing to quit being involved with the Cowboys. If ever a team was held hostage it is this one.

Jerry is a good business man, he is a good promoter, he is good at growing his own wealth, but he is an abject failure as a GM.

I still can't believe he put those in with those dancers.

Jones doesn't want the Cowboys fan base to think that he's not trying because that could cause them to become one of his worst fears -- disinterested. "As to being criticized, I'm not going to say that I'm used to it, but there have been criticisms since the day that I got involved with the Cowboys," Jones said. "Serious criticism, but that's part of the interest. That's part of having people involved. What you don't want is apathy. And we're not going to have apathy. I promise you that. I'll stir something up before we have apathy. I say that tongue-in-cheek.

I just saw Cirque du Soleil with my wife in Orlando. Unbelievable, really. They had clowns. Many distractions between acts to draw your attention.

Jerry has been stirring things up for 17 years now to draw our attention away from the main act - winning championships. His first act was so long ago that many of the young ones in the audience didn't even see it.

Maybe he would be successful as a coreographer at Cirque du Soleil in the Cowboys stadium. He certainly isn't as a GM of a professional football team.

Sorry Jethro, apathy is what I am already toward you're team of schemes. My apathy will disappear once you are gone.

This keeps the lemming fans "interested"

I think this is fading as the fans are starting to understand this shell game he is playing. Mediocrity is the common denominator in Dallas and has been for the last decade or more.

Until the fans start voting with their wallets Jerruh won't change. I said this a couple of years ago and I think it is more evident today.

Jerry gets cheap coaches that won't stand up to him. He signs flashy players and goes cheap on the big uglies on both sides of the ball. He goes cheap at kicker and special teams. His drafting, trades and cap management are terrible. The product on the field is embarassing at times.

[View Full Quote]Don't buy these overpriced seats until the team is professionally ran. Not ran like an oil guy playing fantasy football.

Jerry will then get the hint that the fans know which shell is hiding the pea.

Amen.

before apathy sets in...........


(jerry's got him one of those 'word of the day' apps.)




Apathy.......... That's so '01-ish. Way past that, dude.

[cajuncocoa]

What to say to this? Like so many of you, I show up in front of the TV every week but I find myself viewing these Cowboys with a lot of cynicism these days...and I've come to realize that it's been that way for awhile. I don't really expect much from them, and that way, they don't really disappoint me.

But I really MISS the days when I couldn't wait for football season...counting down the days every July until training camp. And then living Sunday-to-Sunday (or Monday night) just to see my Cowboys...I was always so darned proud of them.

Something, or someone, has stolen that from me, and I really believe it is Jerry. So now he says he'll "stir things up before fans grow apathetic?" That ship sailed a few years ago, Jerry.

I hope you stir things up, and in a good way, before I decide I've had enough.
