They are both fruitcakes...and their teams have reflected it for a long time. Neither one handled life after the Salary Cap.

Crazy Al never really pushed himself as the face of the franchise and took over coaching announcements so he could increase his personal exposure. He also kept his son in the background and didn't tun it into some hillbilly homebrew organization.

Al became senile but at one time he really had it, he knew the game. Booger has never had it, he's just an egomaniac wanting attention.

Al Davis was a true NFL character; Booger is a NFL caricature.
And yet they have a nice little drink together every evening in the HOF!

"We talk about them but do we talk about them with reverence? They make noise, but I can't take them seriously."

lol.

Colin, Fox Sports would drop you like a hot rock if you stopped talking about Dallas.

Overpaid melodramatic sports talking heads :facepalm:
That’s the industry in a nut shell. Who can yell the loudest with the most outlandish takes. Dallas is low hanging fruit. The sad part is the morons that believe it

This is a rant by a fan that starts at around the 10:25 mark. It's from way back in 2015 after our 7 game losing streak. How much of it applies today?

Sad part is Al started losing it and the team started a downward spiral in the mid 80s, and the Raiders still made it to the SB more recently than the Cowboys.

Please do not insult Al Davis by comparing him to Jerry Jones. Al Davis was a man of principle and a was a true football guy. Jerry is just some billionaire pretending he knows stuff about Football.

Al Davis also placed principle before profits. While Jerry all he thinks about is making money and more money.

Jerry is nothing more than a clown with lots of money to spend. That usually doesn't bode well.

I completely agree, You can rail against what Colin said but tell me, what have the Cowboys done since 1995???
This team hasn't sniffed a championship run since!

Comparing Jerry to Al is an insult to Al Davis. Al was a shrewd coach, scout, and General Manager for a ton of years before he lost his way. Although Al did oversee the Raiders in a SB at least in the 21st century.

Jerry? Well, one day he was shootin' at some food and up from the ground came a bubblin' crude....and the next thing ya know he owned the Dallas Cowboys....
Lol, Stephen makes a great Jethro
