What Sanders said about Jerry is true and what Romo said about Sanders was also true.
I missed your point.
Honest question; What again are you implying?
If you're saying Deion was not butt hurt about the comment and was just gaming Romo, I disagree. He wasn't just playing the Dozens. It came across by Mike Irvin and just about everyone else as much more than that.
Now where does Jerry factor in here?
I heard two distinct radio programs on different channels, each addressing at length in regard to this event. One for close to an hour, and actually had two different segments on it. The prevalent thinking was this wasn't that big a deal, and maybe Romo will think next time before making a comment about a Hall of fame player. Because there is that aspect wherein people just don't rail in public on Hall of Famers. It's an unwritten courtesy in the league, apparently. I had no idea about that, but can see how that would work between players. R_E_S_P_E_C_T. Especially if one is not a Hall of Famer and tossing the gauntlet down. So there is two sides to this. Irvin is very protective of Dallas players and Romo specifically.Perhaps Romo will refrain from making a joke next time.
And yet even if your theory of the Romo/Deion event is more aligned with the truth, you ignored Deion was being serious about Jerry. He was standing up for the owner in what was clearly - to me - an aside among friends that had no ill intent. Jerry popped off on camera. Like we all do. But without our comments being leaked to the press for a got cha moment. My belief is this is the league, and Goodell in particular who made this public, or it was brought to him and he used it.
I am not a Deion fan. But I see far too much homerism that defends one group or person over another because of a bias that colors common sense.
Deion played for Jerry. Learned at Jerry's knee how to take his earnings and build wealth. He has stated this over and over. As he has about Snyder of the Commanders.
And the one thing about the less than deep thinker Deion is, he will say what he thinks on air. Deep thoughts or frivolous musings. Deion will call it like he sees it. He can be wrong, but nonetheless, if he speaks people listen. So if Jerry was a benign racist, Deion would pull no punches. And that is why his endorsement is both valid and important.
Sorry you pushed a button. Again, I am not a Deion fan. I like Jerry a great deal, even though there are times I'd like to push the eject button when he says or does something which is ill advised.
But again, this is a fire storm with the intent to paint Jerry in a light that he does not deserve. And I find that disgusting that we live in a time when using the term racist is the spearhead for pulling down an opponent, when the term may not fit at all.
Goodell has power under consent of the league and his performance. Jerry has power as a major player in the league. To use this as a tool to pull down Jerry in a covert way is dastardly. Frankly the league should be more concerned with this "video" and who put it out there. If it is the Commish, then he should be fired immediately for undermining the league and an owner who is his boss.
Something about wanting 50 million a year, lifetime health insurance, and a private jet speaks about an ego which would have no qualms in falsifying a position to elevate his status or person.
Hmmmm, kinda like ignoring the investigator and sentencing Zeke without any recourse to face his accuser.
So you see, this is much "deeper" than just Deion and Romo.
