Yep. No lie, a part of my fandom died when you told me that. Now I'm sharing the misery lol.

This is a mom-and-pop shop masquerading as an NFL front office.
Just wait. It's gonna get way worse.

In two or three years, John Stephen will be our QB, a second cousin will be defensive coordinator, Jason Witten and Sean Lee will slither their way into coaching relevancy, and Zeke will have to take quarters off to receive insulin shots.

Here comes the pain buddy. Meanwhile, Aikman, Tony Casillas, Emmitt, and Everson Walls will continue to point and laugh from afar.

Lots of teams do this. I think we all hate this example because this particular family has proven to be football inept.

In 1999, my boss bought a piece of the Washington Football Team (obviously called something else back then). A few years later, he sent a memo to the coaching staff if his son could come in, shadow the coaches, and watch film.

14 years later, the Atlanta Falcons named his son their Head Coach.

Football, like Hollywood, has a ton of nepotism.

I thought you liked him.

Don't be telling me there's no Santa.

I would be laughing if this was Danny Boy Snyder doing this, but I am crying because this is worse.
This isnt going to end well.

they end up rotting if not eaten by a stray passer by.

Yeah I'd like to see Spaulding try to GM this team 20 years from now when they still haven't reached a NCFCG.

Even Jerry doesn't have much more time to produce results before "relevant and interesting" go away.

Seems like every time Dallas is on the verge of becoming a complete joke is when they pull a decent season out of nowhere....yet still choke.

Everything is reactionary and over hype.

And on and on.....

I thought "Shy" was Charlotte's husband's name. They named their son "Shy" as well? "Spalding" is so much more appropriate. The other son's name is, Paxton? Are we sure it isn't really, "Biff"?

Saw Steve Martin and Martin Short live about a year ago.
It was amazing and I treasure the memories and I'm so glad to have seen them.
Great, great show and they were amazing humans to the people of El Paso.

Wonderful weekend.

We’re in this weird limbo where we hate the joneses but defend their role as ownership when it comes to compensation. This move lands firmly on the hate of the jones side. I’m happy for the kid. It’s not his fault he was born into a billionaire family.
Funny he couldn't land a gig with another team lol...it's not okay bc he wouldn't qualify otherwise. Hopefully he won't want to be a cheerleader next o_O:D

I don't see an issue with it. Scouting assistant is right up there with the water boy.
Just the thought that he'll be positioned in places of real influence that he doesn't deserve off of tenure, that he didn't deserve, and family (*luck) and not merit.

Other than that... what issue? This team runs like a well-oiled machine.

Comedy that writes itself!

Except that it isn't the least bit funny. We're to the point that the fans just need to quit being so invested in wins and losses. Jerry isn't in this to dominate the NFL and win championships, he's in it for the entertainment and the money making potential.

To me this team has turned into a WWE wrestling match. You don't watch that hoping to see an actual competitive match, you watch it for the entertainment.

This is what Jerry has done to the Dallas Cowboys - he's turned it into a bunch of fake wrestling crap, and I absolutely hate wrestling.
