After listening to about 5 minutes of the annual “State of the Cowboys” stream of consciousness from our owner/GM/president and tractor pull coordinator, I had to to turn it off. At this point in Cowboys’ history, just hard to listen to a guy who not only struggles to string a meaningful sentence together, as he’s just stepped off his billion dollar yacht, he seems less and less connected to the real world.
But, why not have some fun with Jerry’s proclivity to use weird combinations and pronunciations of words? Sure he hasn’t delivered much in the way of playoff wins in a generation, but man can this dude wax on in self important platitudes! So...below is a list of some of Jerry’s favorite press conference words, and how he pronounces them:

Sure he hasn’t delivered much in the way of playoff wins in a generation, but man can this dude wax on in self important platitudes! So...below is a list of some of Jerry’s favorite press conference words, and how he pronounces them:
- “Poz-teeve” (positive) Used dozens of times in less than 5 minutes. He’s “poz-teeve” about this upcoming season, says there is a “poz-teeve” atmosphere around the team, yada, yada.
- “Uh, uh”- I believe Jerry Jones holds the unofficial Guinness World Record for number of times saying the word “uh” in a press conference. Hey we haven’t won any SBs the last two decades under his guidance, but at least we can brag about his world record “uh” output. I challenge anyone who can say the word “uh” more than Jerry.
- “Graaaaace”- (grace) In his presser today, when asked tough questions about social justice issues, JJ used the word “graaaace” about 20 times. Sadly, the sentences didn’t make much sense, but he apparently has found another word he’s obsessed with, lol.
- “Candidly” (candidly) Another word Jerry loves dearly. He loves to throw down a “quite candidly” or “let me be candid” prefix to many a sentence. Strangely, as often as he throws it down, it implies that everything else he says, is not candid. Lol.
- “Stayjum”- (stadium) One of Jerry’s favorite words is about his favorite real estate- his “stayjum”. He loves to brag about its size, it’s beauty, and it’s capacity, and I believe, it’s the one word he loves more than any because it’s the #1 reason he has become bulletproof to fans without having playoff success in decades. That 3 million square foot Death Star is like his third son...since Garrett left.
