When was the point it hit you, the sport had changed in Dallas?

The moment Jimmy left and Jerruh hired Switzer.

Yup, for me too.

It was more a continuum of poor decisions and arrogant behavior than one single event.

Like many others, it began with Jerry Jones drunken comment that any of 500 coaches could lead the Cowboys to the SB, followed by the departure of Jimmy Johnson and, then, the hiring of Switzer.

It continued with the drafting of Shante Carver in 1994 (when Isaac Bruce was available) and Kavika Pitman in 1996 and, then, who could forget the infamous 2009 special teams draft. In between these draft misses are numerous questionable personnel calls.

Perhaps, though, the one event that stands out the most was the tenure of Jason Garrett. While that subject has been beaten to death, suffice to say, I don't believe any other franchise would have held on to such an mediocre coach for so long..

Jiminy and Jimmy separating.

March 30, 1994. However it happened, whatever happened, you move heaven and earth… put your own ego aside, and get your Head Coach to come back for a 3 peat.

and if that doesn’t work, you don’t look for the next head coach on a couch in Norman, OK. You find the next best damn coach for the team.

the beginning of 27 years of horrid mismanagement

Now in retrospect......this was the turning point....

The minute this numb nuts was hired. Football hasn't been the same since. Killing the sport one rule change @ a time.

Exactly right. He and some of his executive team and the owners are running the league like a Big Tech corporation. Everything they do is for public perception and media approval which has little to do with the betterment of the game…..the game survives in spite of them, not because of them

After Jimmie left and Jerry thought that he knew what winning football was and how to obtain it. Plug and play he thought. My interest in this team (NFL)has diminished every year since.
Didn’t even watch a single second of the game yesterday and wasn’t in the least worried about it.
I’ve been a Cowboys fan since I was 8 and I’ll still pull for the Cowboys for some reason and will continue to but in the end they all go home multi- millionaires and don’t care so why should I lose sleep over it? I don’t anymore.
In the end Jerry could care less about winning, just being in the spotlight good or bad makes this man money.

The NFL changed for me tonight. I've never been a conspiracy theorist, but watching that last Rams drive versus the Bengals - in Hollywood - was ridiculous.

Cincinnati had more penalties in 3 plays - with the Rams in the red zone on their last-ditched drive - than they had in 3 and a half quarters before then.

What an absolute joke. But the NFL Network is in Los Angeles, so don't expect any outcry from them. It's just a "great comeback" by the hometown Rams.

All just for entertainment now

I got that picture all wrong. I thought he was rubbing his head for good luck.

I have to add that Vick has done an excellent job in turning his life around. He’s one of the few commentators that doesn’t stick to the script like some of them have to. He tells it like it is.

Kurt Warner on Westwood Radio left the script in the briefcase tells listener this is why this QB is passing or failing , no sugar coat.
