Sometimes your posts cause me great consternation and greater displeasure in the fact you've made my obligatory automatic"like" list and in order to maintain some semblance of centered wellness within myself I'll have to quote your offending (to my delicate sensibilities concerning all things JERRY) statement and lodge a counter view statement,,,but this one was easy to "like":lmao2:
Risen has that effect. You're not alone, friend :)

:rolleyes: IT'S A WELL KNOWN FACT JERRY'S A GOOD GUY!
you anti- jerry people think he should 'channel' Gunnery Sergeant R Lee Ermey with a tinge of Stuart Smalley understanding because these players for Dallas have yet to realize they are( or trying like hell to be) exclusive participating members of the N.F.L.

REST ASSURED, THE
" TIGHTEN UP" IS FIXING COME DOWN on these guys lackadaisical demeanors, unfortunately for the anti-Jerry crew that's NOT Jerry Jones's
JOB . :facepalm:

The combination of Jerry Jones and his puppet Garrett is horrifying to behold. No accountability, control, or discipline.

As compared to what?
Rabid sharks with freaking lasers?
A Nuclear bombardment, with follow on bioweapons attack?
How about Catastrophic grid failure with follow on mass starvation?
I think your flair for the overdramatic is showing again Royo_O

Let's not hit the panic button/ scuttle charges just yet,bro!
Garrett's not even got a rope around his guys yet
(Training camp)

Forgive me, but what's your point? :huh:

He was being sarcastic to all the hand-wringing in this thread.


My point? This organization in recent memory has already followed a 13-3 season with high hopes going forward with a craptastic, distraction filled bust of a season.I am traumatized and dread that happening again. Excuse me for caring so damn much that I let this happen. That was my point.

It was off. You went on a tangent that made no sense given the thread topic and the sarcastic nature of the post you replied to. Maybe make a thread and state your opinion? Or not, whatevs, brother.

It's okay. Relax. Was just asking, there, mon frere.

Dez was late because of medical issues...this place is downright horrible load of haters on everything....a bunch of pissy arse whiners.....
I think the issue with Dez was not the lateness due to illness but simply not choosing to notify the team leadership that he would be late. Wasn't that a key point in the story or did I misread it?

This team is allergic to success. Just even a little taste of it completely derails the culture. Does JG not know how to show them the proper motivation?

Some of you guys that I admire and respect are conditioned like one of Pavlov's dogs,,, news flash!
The Good timing former pilot that had been flying the plane is up in the booth,,, we got Capt.Dak and the attackerteers fixing to mobilize for Iwo Jima.

That's if you're choosing to believe Rapaport, et al, instead of waiting for the story to emerge, if it even does, as minute an issue as this is. With all due respect, Robbie.

I'm confused about D. Irving's part.

But it's a shame Dez's event didn't get sold as much as him being late. Dez really has a generous spirit. Far from being an entitled celebrity as some would accuse him of being.

Yep
Dez is just 'misunderstood '
People who 'know him' (like you obviously do) can explain it to the rest of us

I do. But I love Dez and want to believe he's just taking the high road to satiate the media, more than he is the Org.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :)
Oh shoot. I love me some Dez, too - you know that bro! That's not really the issue for me. In fact I hold him to a higher standard now as a team leader, which I consider him to be. If indeed the situation was that he hosted a big public event and didn't show up the next day to a team mandatory conditioning test and was derelict in contacting management in a timely manner then (in my book) he failed as one of the team's leaders. Which compounds the narrative he has had following him for years about being late and even blowing off meetings.

I certainly hope this is merely a question about media spin and drumming up cheap clicks on the back of Cowboy popularity but Dez needs to be seen by our new group of youngsters as a leader with high standards and not some immature man child. He needs to be what Jerry Rice was to the Niners. Hardest worker and most committed player on the team. Not some dude that is cavalier about team commitments. I hope the optics of this event is indeed overblown media BS...however, Dez's past behavior around meetings makes him a target and that's on him.
