The saddest thing about all this is Jerry’s arrogant pettiness cheapens the Ring of Honor. Grudges should never get in the way of doing the right thing for people who accomplished great things for the Cowboys. It’s not about Jerry or any one player or coach. It’s about a storied franchise.

This is exactly the kind of foolishness that has held this franchise back for nearly 3 decades. Jerry’s personal feelings are more important to him than what’s right for this once great organization. He cheapens it every day with this kind of behavior.
Simply put, he is unprofessional.

Jerry won't say "over my dead body", but he may as well be saying it.

WHAT ABOUT THE RING OF HONOR?

“Nothing determined out there at all. That’s something that I’ve never really decided upon almost until a week or two before I do it.”

REALLY?

“Really. No, I’ve never been something that’s had a long tail to it thought process. Obviously the people are qualified are career qualified. So, that is a career process. But as far as the timing of any individual that will ultimately in that Hall of Fame, I don’t have that.”

YOU TALKED ABOUT JIMMY JOHNSON GETTING IN

“I understand that. I really understand that would be a part of the question, but the answer is I don’t have a timeline.”
key words... I don't have a timeline...... Just what I thought he has no timeline

As the owner my job is to be involved in everything from jocks to socks. I’m the owner, you are nothing more than a paid employee. Can we coexist, sure but as the owner I will make all of the ultimate decisions. Musk is much the same way, involved in every single detail.

Yep, Jerry making all the decisions like that, undercutting the authority of his coaches, being a pal to the players, etc. How's that been working out for 27 years? Oh wait...

It works for some fields. It doesn't work for football unless the owner is some kind of Football mastermind. Jerry is more of a football enthusiast. He doesn't have what it takes and refuses to hire and give the necessary authority to the people that can get it done because it would hurt his precious little ego.

You can dislike Jerry yet still like the Cowboys. They existed for what, 28-29 years before he purchased them. They'll be around after he's dead and gone most likely too. Being a fan of the team doesn't mean you have to support and like the decisions he makes as an owner.
You can also be a fan of his and not ridicule him every day

Exactly. Jones demonstrated he can approve and have a Ring of Honor ceremony within three months of announcing it.

I have seen people with huge egos, having a genuine dislike for someone else, setting aside their feelings momentarily to recognize another's achievements. This particular animosity is not typical. And that uniqueness is worth noting by anyone on the outside looking into the dysfunction.

Why would I be a fan of the man holding the franchise back? Why would I be a fan of a petty, egotistical blowhard who puts his feelings over what is best for the team?

Again, how is Jerry depriving Jimmy Johnson?

You believe your version, I'll believe reality. I was a fan of the Cowboys before he bought them. I'll probably be a fan after he's dead and buried. Like that or not.

Here is the truth: The Cowboys would exist without Jerry. Would any of us even know who he was without them? I wouldn't have. They'll exist after he's gone. That's the truth.
