The team is his to damage. What you are suggesting is criminal.The team should be taken off Jerry's hand.He might be a good person and great businessman but he is hurting the team image.
Absolute Truth. And sadly, Jerry will never admit this in a million years. He has benefited a ton more than he will ever admit from things he had zero to do with.
That's what I always believed. Jerry bought a ready made fanbase that had fallen on hard times. The Cowboy brand had already been long established by the time Jerry arrived. Would Jerry have had the same success if he bought the Chargers?Before they were America's Team, Schramm made sure they were Texas' team with the largest radio affiliate network in the NFL and then he moved on to Mexico. He also realized that AZ, NM, AR and OK didn't have their own team so he expanded in that direction as well and back then there were only Sunday games, the worst day of the week for radio revenue and Monday night, when that became a thing wasn't any better, and all they had to do was flip a switch and they had free programming and inventory to sell to their own sponsors. Back then, it was also prestigious to be the Cowboys affiliate and he had an impressive group of stations and he allowed them to use his brand to promote his brand.
Before Booger, there was Schramm and he was even more successful because he didn't build off of what was already built, he carved it out and was really the first in the NFL to recognize that a NFL team could be more than just football, they could be greater than that. When NFL Films dropped that label, he realized he had been more successful than he'd dreamed he would be and while Landry just saw the Dallas Cowboys as a football team, Schramm saw so much more. If there is one man that I would give credit to for the rise of the NFL to America's pastime, it is Schramm. I don't think he was a really nice man but he had a plan and it worked to perfection. He also had an owner that sat back and let him run the business while Schramm stood back and let Landry run the on the field part of it.
Many here, erroneously, give credit to Booger for being a great marketer but he's just taken advantage of what was already there, the way paved by a true visionary within the sport, and they also misuse the word "salesman" because that's not what he is, he's a "pitch man" and there is a big difference between the two.
The Cowboys have really been nothing special since the 90's. I can't picture random people picking the Cowboys as their team nowadays if they didn't live in Texas or their parents were fans.Yawn. Fans like to tell themselves this team is special. It's not. Sure it is still a premium "brand" but the Pats have long eclipsed Dallas as America's Team. Green Bay as well.
The Cowboys are like an aging Hollywood Starlet with too much botox.
I call it intervention for the good of mankindThe team is his to damage. What you are suggesting is criminal.
And...if Jerry followed Tex Schramm’s model, he would take credit for hiring a great HC (in Jimmy) that produces playoff wins instead of being jealous of him and hiring puppets thereafter.This is the one point that boggles my mind. Just sit back and let a good coach run the team and count your money.
We still get everyone's best game. We still sell the most tickets jerseys. Make no mistake about it my cowboy brother we are and always will be America's Team. Win lose makes no difference. It's the starHow many playoff wins? Since 1996 the Pats have 33. Dallas has 4. Just admit it.
You keep thinking that. You couldn't be more wrong.Pats and Packers are not Americas Team, no one is, there is no such thing. Its a completely meaningless phrase.
You can call it whatever you want. It's still criminal.I call it intervention for the good of mankind
You sure are emotional for someone who doesn't give a rat's ***. Damn. The Cowboys are known as America's Team whether they win the next 10 Super Bowls or screw up the joint. That's my point. You sound bitter. I enjoy the Dallas Cowboys even when they disappoint me. Nothing I can do about their success or lack thereof but hope for the best. And screw the Pats with their cheatin' *****. I'm a Cowboys fan. AMERICA'S TEAM.I don't give a rats *** who it belongs to. Rather see a winning team. So you wouldn't trade the moniker for a few Super Bowls? I'm sure the Pats are real upset about that nickname. People put a lot of stock in a name that essentially means absolutely nothing. The success is what made it. That's the truth. Now it's jersey sales and nielsen ratings.
That is true. Back in the 70's both Tex and Tom got credit for the team's success. There was enough to go around.And...if Jerry followed Tex Schramm’s model, he would take credit for hiring a great HC (in Jimmy) that produces playoff wins instead of being jealous of him and hiring puppets thereafter.
There’s always more than enough credit to go around when you win a championship. Jerry never has seemed to understand that.That is true. Back in the 70's both Tex and Tom got credit for the team's success. There was enough to go around.
Based on what exactly?Sure it is still a premium "brand" but the Pats have long eclipsed Dallas as America's Team. Green Bay as well.
