Apparently Cowboys are only team that allows anybody to walk through facilities during practice

[RustyBourneHorse]

Today I learned on the Pat McAfee Show with JJ Watt (around 2 pm Eastern) that we are apparently the only team that allows anybody to walk through our facilities during practice and workouts.



Has anyone else heard about this? Apparently, if someone pays a certain amount, they can tour The Star and watch practice. Rather than putting a curtain over the windows during practice, apparently people can watch practice.

Am I the only one that realises an obvious problem? Remember the whole spy gate situation back in the day because the Patriots, allegedly, recorded other teams' practices? If we are allowing random people to just walk around and watch practice, what's to stop someone from another team buying a ticket under the guise of being corporate? Let's say, the 49ers, since we are playing them next. What's to say that someone from the 49ers doesn't buy a ticket, since we're giving such access, and they use the practice to, I don't know, get a behind the scenes look at our preparation? Maybe get some ideas on how to stop what we're practicing? Am I the only one that sees the giant disadvantage that this gives us? No wonder we are struggling this season!! As long as Jerry's making money I suppose...

The Cowboys are 100% about entertainment. Winning is not their priority.

 

[Cowboy_svt]

not to worry, not like we prepare at all for our opponents anyway

 

[Asklesko]

Why would other teams need to cheat to stop us? We suck.

I've done the tour at the Star. However, it was a Saturday, so there wasn't anyone out practicing.
Did catch a couple of players walking around/working out (Hendershot I think was one), and the special teams coach walked by our group.

There were some meetings going on, so we didn't have access to some rooms/areas.

Between that and Jerrys public injury and game plan updates, Im sure Bill Belichick is chomping at the bit to work in Dallas.

Meh, it’s 2024. It’s not as if people walk around with video recorders and cameras in their hands constantly…..oh wait.

Meanwhile our plays are predictable, but Jerry needs the extra cash and attention.

I miss Parcells.

 

[FanofJerry]

I just see it like the court sees divorce cases....

Jerry has raised his family to be accustom to a certain life-style...he cant go back on it while he is alive. He's gotta keep selling, selling, selling to provide the life-style his family is accustom to.

Cant really fault him for wanting to maintain the status quo for his family if that is how courts rule in divorce cases.

Blame the courts, not Jerry.

 

[ShiningStar]

but you know, Jerry wants a Super Bowl win.

Like I said the other day, Jerry's stuck in 1998. He doesn't seem to comprehend how easily we are vulnerable. No wonder we don't win in the playoffs! The opposing team knows our plays like we do!!!

At least not in the FO apparently. Why not just have Mike McCarthy put the next play on the Jumbotron that we're about to run!!

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I miss Parcells.

Same, but this is coming from the FO

 

[The Ominous]

I miss Parcells.

I miss Jimmy J.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I have an even better idea! For an extra $5,000, why doesn't Jerry show a page of our playbook! But 3 pages, and you get the 4th free!

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Somehow I am not surprised. Not like they come up with special and secret game plans.

Don’t want to confuse our players.

Right, but how easily do they regulate it?

Even if they did, it'd be exposed by Thursday with this stupid policy.

 

[Kumala808]

its an excuse

 

[Big_D]

I think it's ridiculous but Jerry's been doing it for years. Typical foolishness here. The priority certainly isn't winning or even trying to win. The circus keeps rolling along..
