I had not seen this. Truly heart-warming.

you touch me in your dreams, you better wake up and apologize

 

[ShortRound]

Yup. I got it from this tweet, it's an homage to Farrah. A pretty good one I thought.

 

[Whyjerry]

So will Lynn come and replace Garrett then?

Exactly. That would be nice.

 

[Whyjerry]

definitely the best owner in the league, and probably one of the best in all of sports. And he seems to be about as down to earth as anyone can be.

Just keep your daughters away when he is drinking.

I doubt Jerry will screw with them unless your daughters are strippers.

I thought you were talking about me when I saw your post...

For whatever reason, I don't sense the compassion from Stephen

Love Jerry. He wants to win more than any fan here. Sure he was a narcissist early on and made some big blunders, but he was smart enough to back off and let the football people make the personnel decisions. No one can question his care for his players and coaches. He’s in the Hall of Fame for a reason.

I agree that no one can question his care for his players and coaches. But, he still makes the final decisions on the personnel and I believe, even game plans. Jerry is a good man, but he needs to hire a real GM and HC, then sit back and be an owner.

Ummm this is the same grabby drunk that ruined Dallas correct?

And we haven’t sniffed a Super Bowl in 23 years for a reason...

The guy that got drunk and fired a two time SB coach, right?

The Greg Hardy is a leader guy, right?

The guy that ran Tom Friggin Landry out of town.

Frank Sinatra built a bunch of churches before he died. He worried that a life time of debauchery was going to land him in hell.

Tom Landry was well done, he was Toast or maybe u forget how bad and embarrassing we had become. Jerry moving Tom along was one of the best things he has ever done. Tom had his day, it was time for new blood.

I would bet that Jerry has a hell of a lot better chance at entering the pearly gates than you do.

 

[Hardline]

I am willing to bet everyone here can separate the humanitarian Jerry from the GM Jerry.
GM Jerry sucks

Whenever some blowhard tries to strip Jerry of credit for our success in the ‘90s, I ask them one question that immediately shuts them up:

“Who hired Jimmy?”

You forgot "shot JFK".

Landry was 17 - 30 over his last three seasons and Bum Bright said he would fire Landry in discussions with everyone who made offers to buy the team. Bright told Jerry he would fire Landry on his last day as owner, then chickened out.

BTW, it even dumber to complain about firing both Landry and Jimmy Johnson, when Jimmy is the guy who replaced Landry.

The Herschel Walker trade wasn't bad either.

I just don't get the haters that can't take the good with the bad. Jerry has plenty of faults, just like every other owner and GM in the history of the league. But on balance its a net positive and if the haters really have an issue with Jerry, they would go insane over the "Don't care, just turn a small profit" group of owners the league has seen.
