That clears that up (lol).......so the only way this gets a new owner is he ( and probably Stephen too ) is 6 ft under.

Amazing, especially considering that when Forbes did its annual valuation of franchises this year, the Broncos were 10th. So if the Broncos are 10th and worth $4.5 billion, what are the rolling-in-dough Cowboys worth? Forbes says $6.5 billion. The smartest business consultant in NFL circles, Marc Ganis, told me he thinks Jones would get $8 billion or $8.5 billion if he tried to sell. Jones, when I asked him, said:

“Ten up.”

Asked to clarify, he said, “more than $10 billion.”

“But let me make this very clear,” Jones said. “I’ll say it definitively. I will never do it. I will never sell the Cowboys. Ever.”

The Jones family will never win another championship either. Money is far more important.

while I wish it were that simple, I honestly don’t think it’s about the money….I think it’s about the ego- jerry wants to do it his way and he wants the credit….he’s never going to win with the setup they have now.

end of the day same result, but I genuinely believe jerry wants to win more than anyone but his primary motivator is feeding his ego….he’s at the end of his life, 10 billion or 100 billion makes no difference now for him, his quality of life doesn’t change…a Super Bowl win though validates his perceived life’s work (in his eyes)

Lets say I want to lose weight but I refuse to give up sweets or the other bad things I ate that contributed to the weight gain. Jerry tells everyone he wants to win but refuses to take the steps he knows are needed to start winning (real GM, coach with actual power to run his team, etc.). These are the same things, right? This is a bad analogy, but you get the idea.

Jerry said it himself what the priorities are - he wants the franchise to remain relevant and interesting. Translate the meaning any way you want, but to me it means his desire is to keep the team in the headlines, and clearly he doesn't have to waste his time winning anything to achieve that. Jerry will be fine with that until the spotlight moves to something else.

I understand what you are saying I just don't subscribe to the thought that a 79 year old billionaire finds making more money more important than winning an elusive superbowl one more time "his way"....you can't take it with you and regardless of how bad his ego is he absolutely knows this

Jerry has said plenty of things over the years and his ego has done a lot of bad things for this franchise, one can only hope he either steps back in his 80s or things change after he passes on and the team goes to his nimrod of a son....let's hope he's too dumb to be the gm and actually has to hire one....

:hammer:....it's not that we don't spend the CAP, it's that Jerry (and not the GM/HC) get to choose who it's spent on. Exhibit 1 - Randy Gregory.

They will only sell once they have driven the organization to the NFL financial toilet........another 15 years of the usual should do the trick here!

The owners share revenue from ticket sales, TV deals, and specialty items. He's doesn't get any more money from the NFL then the rest of the owners. So how is money far more important?

You can have all the money in the world, only you and your family care about that, but if you want to live forever and have a lasting legacy you win.

Right now, Jerry, your legacy is buying a team, hiring an innovative and smart head coach that lead to a dynasty, then you become so jealous of him that you wanted to show everyone you could do it "your way" that you fired him, and have been a miserable failure for the past 26 years.

In your trying to prove that you was more responsible than Jimmy you have only showed everyone that Jimmy was in fact the real architect being the 90s Cowboys. You have proven, without a shadow of a doubt, that Jimmy was the mastermind.

That is your legacy now, Jimmy.

:huh::huh::huh: HOF has secured Jerry's legacy AND Jimmy's too if we're being honest. In other words, they BOTH build the dynasty, they both needed each other, and one couldn't have done it without the other. HOF makes it pretty clear they BOTH deserve credit and the childish ego, jealousy and bickering over who did what don't change that. In fact, it's pretty obvious they both have moved on, so your post is a bit odd.

Sure, he's a HOFer for doing things Jimmy Johnson told him to do 30 years ago, but when you jealously fire that guy and go over a quarter of a century of doing nothing "your way" it taints your legacy.

Jerry would have never had the know how or football knowledge to do what it took to create that dynasty in the 90s. That was all Jimmy. The only credit Jerry gets for that is listening to Jimmy.

When it comes to football Jerry is the joke of the NFL.

When Jerry speaks I hear mouth farts. He is a blowhard who delusionally thinks he knows football better than the next guy. Its cringeworthy when he talks.
