Jerry won't say "over my dead body", but he may as well be saying it.

WHAT ABOUT THE RING OF HONOR?

“Nothing determined out there at all. That’s something that I’ve never really decided upon almost until a week or two before I do it.”

REALLY?

“Really. No, I’ve never been something that’s had a long tail to it thought process. Obviously the people are qualified are career qualified. So, that is a career process. But as far as the timing of any individual that will ultimately in that Hall of Fame, I don’t have that.”

YOU TALKED ABOUT JIMMY JOHNSON GETTING IN

“I understand that. I really understand that would be a part of the question, but the answer is I don’t have a timeline.”

It is still the off-season. :laugh:

Not going to get all riled up over this, it is what it is.
But it needs to be done this season. If Jerry thinks he will wait and do it after winning a SB, it will be a slap in the face to Jimmy and the fans as well as former players from the 90's
As Jerry wants that....he did it his way without Jimmy...that is a huge monkey on his back.

I'm not the least bit riled up over it. Frankly, the way Jerry tap dances whenever he's asked about it is kind of funny. :muttley:

I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry puts it in his will that Jimmy never gets in unless, as you suggest, Jerry pulls off a miracle and gets another Lombardi before then.

One of the things that tore Jerry and Jimmy apart was both men wanting the credit for the Cowboys success. Jerry putting Jimmy in the ROH would be giving Jimmy too much credit. Jerry has far too big an ego to do that.

Put them both in at the same time. Preferably while Jimmy is still alive.

The only reason he said he would put him in it is because they put him on the spot on national television.

He would never allow Jimmy in the ROH unless Jerry wins a Superbowl with a team that he built ........ which will probably never happen.

Really boggles my mind how someone can be in the hall of fame as one of the NFL's best, yet not be in the ring of honor as one of the Cowboys' best. Especially since it was what he did with the Cowboys that got him into the hall of fame to begin with.

Sad really. Seriously. Someone needs to ask him his rational for that. How does Johnson get into the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as a Cowboys but not in the Ring of Honor for the same. I know Jones' reason, but would love to hear his "public" rational response.

Jerry need to win a Super Bowl with a team that wasn't built by Jimmy. Or one of them has to pass away, in order for Jimmy to be put in the ROH.

Jerry's ego has choked this teams success for two decades now. So it's apparent to most fans that Jimmy deserves most of the credit for Dallas' success in the 90's.

Not that Jimmy does or should give a rats *** about the ROH, Jerry treats it as if it is all his instead of it actually partly belonging to the fans, and Jerry obviously has no real criteria for who goes in or stays out other than his personal feelings about someone and that's not right. The truth is he would like nothing better than to put his own name in the ROH.

I think he should let the fans vote, other wise I don't really care anymore about the ROH.
