I couldn’t believe it when I first saw it, I could have sworn he was a Scorpio like myself. I was also pretty shocked to learn he doesn’t make as much as I thought he did, he’s one of the best in the business for what he does and he deserves more.

The picture of him with the car is pretty sweet. Does anyone think he’ll ever be in the Ring of Honor? Jerry will never put him in because he’s an egotistical jerk but maybe when Jerry finally takes a dirt nap Steven will put him in the ROH.

What do you think? Thoughts? Will a petition work?

The article said he "must" be making $80K to $100K per year. I think they assumed most sports TV persons make this range.
Jimmy is making far more than that. Though since he cut back on his time this past season, maybe it is less now.

He will eventually get in the ROH. Not sure if Jerry will do it this year or next though. Hoping it gets done this season.

He only works mornings on Sunday, no?

It seemed like a huge assumption though.

You thought he was worth more than 40 million?

Jerry is more apt to put himself in the ROH before Jimmy.

Who cares. The ROH has no meaning outside our circle jerk of Cowboy fans.

Jimmy is now in Hall of Fame. Screw Jerry!!!

Just like the HOF, Jimmy has always kind of been borderline for the ROH so I’ve never understood the fuss. Now that he’s in the far more important Hall of Fame I understand it even less.
He did great things in his time here but was only here five years and ran out the door with his middle fingers in the air to management. Not exactly the recipe that most people would be able to follow for a going away party.

I would not be surprised to see Jimmy added to the ROH this year as they celebrate his induction to the HOF.
Agreed.

However, Jerry’s likely to put it off until the glow of Jimmy’s recent HOF honor has dimmed a bit; thus giving Jerry and the ROH the maximum spotlight.

That is a complete mischaracterization and completely ignores Jerry's role in running him off. He won back to back Super Bowls with a team that he built from scratch. I'd figure a cowboy fan who hasn't seen the team in a super bowl in 25 years would have some appreciation for what Jimmy did for Dallas.............. Charles Haley only played 5 years in Dallas. So clearly "5 years" has nothing to do with it.

Charles Haley shouldn’t be there either frankly, and he’s really the only other guy there who doesn’t fit the profile of a lifelong Cowboy who was loyal to the organization. Jimmy ran out the door because he couldn’t let a drunken comment by Jerry go that would have been forgotten in the morning, and he said he wanted out anyway. You can be great and not fit the profile of the ROH (in Jerry’s eyes anyway).

No no...... the drunken comment was just the last straw. There was a lot more going on that lead up to that..........Jerry wanted control of player personnel in order to get more involved which annoyed Jimmy to no end. Its hard to blame Jimmy who paid his dues rising up the coaching ranks. Suddenly, a guy who knew very little about football was trying to do his job. Jerry's only qualification for running a football team is money. He has no talent for it. Jimmy knew it. Parcels knew it. And now there should be no debate among cowboy fans as to how Jerry has faired without a strong guiding hand at HC.

I don’t think we’ll ever see it until Jerry is literally on his death bed and that’s a big if.
