CFZ After reading Jimmy's book, I'm not expecting a ROH ceremony any time soon

[MoistMayonnaise]

Sad, but Jerry was never going to put jimmy in the ROH anyway. Jimmy should have torn him down.

How sad...

Blind to your own irony.

Does the book contain any new information regarding Jimmy's relationship with Jerry? Is it worth the read?

 

[RS12]

I expect Jerry's death bed words to be "dont you dare put Jimmy in the ring".

 

[batman36]

Do not rule that out.

I am the most popular fan on the most popular forum of the most popular team in all of sports.

That has to make me a big deal.

Jerry lost any remaining respect I had for him when he promised Jimmy on national TV last year that he would put him in and didn't do it. I'm convinced that he's not planning on ever doing it.

Although I'm sure it's a great book and all, I really don't need Jimmy to tell me that Jerry is inept when it comes to understanding football success. I've got 27 years-plus of evidence.

I mean, it's a great book and it's not all about Jerry or even the Cowboys.

Jimmy talks about his coaching philosophy (the Pygmalion Theory), what it takes to build a championship team, how he scouted players and the specific traits that he had to have, helping his son defeat alcoholism, lamenting on how his dedication to winning adversely affected his family, coaching the Miami Dolphins, his time on Survivor, life in retirement, etc.

I'd recommend this book to people who aren't even fans of Miami or the Cowboys.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually in his Will.

I'm sure it is. I never really have time to read books anymore, and since my job every day is editing and putting together newspapers, If what I read here took much effort, I probably wouldn't do it either.

I'd say any Cowboys fan would enjoy the read and at less than 300 pages, it's not a huge time commitment.

Jimmy only speaks about Jerry at length in one chapter (titled "Jerry & Me"), so if that's the main thing you're interested in - you can sit down in your local book store and knock it out in 15 minutes one afternoon.

Jerry can burn in hell if he doesn’t put Jimmy in.

I'm sure there are many stories he could have told.

Well, he DID go into that one time where he and Jerry decided to heard sheep one summer in the mountains. It was just the 2 of them out there...with about 5000 sheep.

They got lonely out there. Real lonely.

There was one bottle of whiskey, one tent, and 2 curious buddies.

You'll need to read on for the details. I don't want to spoil it for you.

Absurd sarcasm, runaway ego, extreme delusion, or a lethal combo of everything? Just wondering. ✊

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

I'm sure there are many stories he could have told.

Maybe he'll write another book.

 

[Risen Star]

No. It's not worth the read if your only interested in his relationship with Jerry.

 

[RonWashington]

He reads ?

 

[Risen Star]

Maybe he'll write another book.

If he lives to be 90 and still not in the ROH the gloves come off and he really tells us about the Jerry years.

 

[Risen Star]

He reads ?

There should be a space between Ron and Washington.

 

[ShortRound]

I'm sure there are many stories he could have told.

I’m sure there are many players and minor coaches keeping their mouths shut.
