News: PFT: Cowboys should lift NDAs, allowing cheerleaders to tell their stories regarding voyeurism

I remember going to Dallas for a game vs Buffalo around 2011 and reading that a Bills player was in a relationship with a Dallas cheerleader.

Maybe thats what you're thinking of.

It wasn't a big deal or a problem.

I believe they were engaged. There are no rules about them dating football players, just not ones on their own team and not all of them have that rule.

If I recall the story, he stayed in Dallas and did not make the team trip back.

CouchCoach said:

Yes, tell me you know something. I promise I won't tell......many.

So what? You like him and I don't, what's that to you?

Because it impacts all your rational thoughts on almost every single topic in regards to the Cowboys.

NO matter what you say... it always revolves around your hate of Jerry. This case... you are being ridiculous.

It appears that JJ was counting on this story never seeing the light of day. The fact that Dalrymple was allowed to continue working there for years after allegedly doing upskirt photos of his daughter, plus the cheerleader locker room imbroglio tells me something else is afoul here. They could have quietly fired Dalrymple a few months after it happened. The fact they didn’t is what really perplexes me.

Just spitballing here but if they fired him even shortly after the incident it would be pretty much an admission of guilt.

Keeping him on for 6 years makes it look like they investigated and and didn't believe he was guilty .

That said somebody was in there and no matter who it was they shouldn't have been there upset the cheerleader so they compensated them.
It seems like the cheerleaders moral compass pointed them in the direction of enhancing their wealth rather than vindicating the injustice.

As far as Jerry's concerned we have known what he's about for a long time and this incident should not surprise anyone.

Jerry flat out has enough money to not have to be made to feel uncomfortable about anything. There are really no consequences for anything he does. Pretty much why we are a failure from football to morality

this is hilarious. You actually think Jerry needs ti try and date cheerleaders? He is a billionaire. Ever see a RICH old guy have an affair and it be with 75 year olds?
Why was hugh heffner with smoking hot females his entire life? Im sure his personality is pretty good, but so is mine, but Farrah Fawcet wasnt gonna date me.

I actually don't think about it much at all. Its all a joke.

Just because you don’t like or agree with his speculations doesn’t mean that might be closer to reality than yours.

All you have provided is just attempting to discredit the messenger cause you don’t like or agree with the message . You say he’s just hating to hate but your coming off pretty sensitive like just defending to defend.

What’s you’re take on this. You don’t see any possible wrong doing , potential cover up, etc. ??

Everything looks ok to you. The girls got paid off so everything is fine. Move on??

gregg would have been caught taking videos of garrett in the locker room if he could have gotten in.

Snyder was actually pimping out his cheerleaders and created a toxic work environment for women.

This isn't even related to what Snyder has supposedly done. He was running a good old boys club within his organization and not limited to the cheerleaders. He was making things uncomfortable for the squaws.

OK, I know that's not pc but it is at least a little funny and dovetails nicely, donchyathink?

What synder did was greater in scope, but a lesser wrong should be investigated too.
That is like saying well this guy robbed a small store, so were not looking into that, but the guy who robbed the bank were going after him!

Dalrymple saying he did not own a cell phone at the time is a joke, and a big red flag. jerry paying out a settlement, is another big red flag.
If that is ok, then synder should just have to pay out bigger settlements.

I dont care for synder and he is obviously a moron, but if nfl is investigating him and wash , they should do the same with jerry.

No, I am ridiculous in many cases.

Reid, it is hard for quite a few of us to divorce him from these topics because he has made himself the face and voice of the Cowboys. That doesn't seem to bother you, and that's fine, but it does bother me because this was my team long before that brown shoe showed up at the formal.

The one thing people need to get past is that this isn't a case that the league should be involved with and no one has filed a complaint against Booger, they did file a complaint against Snyder.

Both of these allegations were within the team and handled by the team. The cheerleaders took the settlement with the NDA's attached and even if the war room incident happened, it's been dealt with by the team and the injured party is the daughter and I haven't seen where she's even acknowledged anything happened.

If the league launched an investigation and found that both of these events happened, what would they do? Dalrymple was an employee of the Cowboys not the NFL and the cheerleaders took the deal and so far we've not heard anything from them, just the reporter. They may be satisfied and I did see where 3 of the 4 are still with the organization.

I agree this is not a good look for the club but it is Dalrymple that did something wrong. Booger didn't and neither did the cheerleaders taking that settlement. And we really know nothing about Dalrymple except he's been there for 32 years. What if the man has mental issues? What if they've been getting him therapy since they discovered he had this problem? Or what if the war room incident did not happen and he wasn't the only one involved in the dressing room incident.

Dalrymple just happens to follow the cheerleaders into their dressing room while the usual two security guards are not present under the guise of using the bathroom when the men's room is only 20' away and he is aware of the cameras and how long he stays in the dressing room will be time stamped? That make sense to you?

What makes sense to me is that he knew the security guards would not be there and nothing would happen to him because of the videotape. He didn't think he'd be seen and identified but once he was, the movements were put into motion. Find out what it would take to make this go away and part of that was the 2.4M and the other part was the disciplinary letter in his file.

The main questions I have about this is how many people knew? This ex exec has a copy of the letter and the NDA and knew of the war room allegation? Wilkinson, the crisis management guy, when was he contracted? Before or after this first incident? Do all of the NFL teams have a crisis management company under contract?

The ESPN reporter seemed shocked with the speed in which Wilkinson reached out to him and the fact he did at all. He was obviously doing his job in trying to quell this and get ahead of it. Maybe he reacted too swiftly for the reporter to buy "move along, nothing to see here".

"daddy see if scumryple can get some videos of those cheerleaders too. "



"Which ones are you pointing at son"
"you see them, don't you scumryple?"

it was my team before Jerry showed up also. Funny thing is you have gotten to see more titles under him than before him.

Again, I dont see what you want here?

I'm to the point the NFL should cut out cheerleading. To many problems whether on them or not. Obviously this isn't one on them. But it's getting to a point when the returns are not worth the spending or risk. I'd hate to see it happen but if I were an owner I'd ask myself is it worth the risk or headache either way.

The other 31 teams might consider getting rid of cheerleaders, but the DCC are a big part of the Cowboys overall appeal. I know some women who fly to Arlington every year to see the DCC, not the Cowboys. They bring in revenue through calendars, dance camps and they have their own TV show on CMT (16 years and counting) that surely brings in some kind of profit. Most DCC fans are not Cowboys fans or even football fans. So the DCC add an additional avenue of publicity to the organization. I think Jerry cares about that kinda thing.

One thing I would like to have answered is why does the PR director of the team have the security card to enter the DCC locker room? What business does/did Rich have with the cheerleaders dressing room? Did he perform PR interviews in there? Did he answer reporters questions from the dressing room? Why did a Male whose job is public relations have the key to the DCC dressing room?

Does the female coach of the DCC have a security key card for the player's locker room?
