Comparing GM Pressers

[Coogiguy03]

Some things to notice from the two pressers:

• Eagles pc lists their HC first. The eaglets owner Jeffrey Lurie isn’t even there. Roseman lets the HC talk. Even the background sign is just the eagles logo with a small Toyota logo. Lasts 27 min.
• Contrasted by Jerry’s 1 hr presser where he does most of the talking, tells folksy stories no one cares about and the whole group sits in front of a giant Lite beer sign with the star logo.

All they have to do is watch the cowboys and do the opposite

After listening to today’s Cowboys “pre-draft press conference” and once again hearing the oldest GM in NFL history talk non-sense for what seems like forever, I decided to listen to a video clip of Howie Roseman’s presser.

The comparison is embarrassing. Roseman actually speaks in complete sentences, makes sense and has a general humble command of his situation. Roseman’s pc lasts 27 min.

Listening to our 82 year old GM ramble is just embarrassing. I guess we get so used to just putting up with not only non-sensical Jerry but his giggling son who is sitting up there for one simple reason: His birth certificate. Jerry’s presser is over an hr.

You can decide. Who makes more sense?

Jerry’s clip:

Jerry’s a flaming narcissist. This is how they act. It’s been like this since day 1 so to be expected. Nothing we can do about it.

Everything

Sooo….no examples?

As a Cowboys fan in his late 40s now, I can't even look forward to the day Jerry steps aside. That only means another two decades minimum with Stephen in charge. And that might even be worse....

A Toyota, Really?! I would be embarrassed if we had a Toyota sign behind our All American team. Thx but no thx…

Jerry is getting is too old. I am not an ageist. I have seen people, like my mother, working into her late 80s with no apparent signs of slowing down, other than her hearing. But for some people, their brains go first and earlier than for others. The people around them may not notice because it is the boiling frog scenario.

Jerry Jones is showing the signs. The rambling answers to simple questions, the longing for the good old days, the irrelevant stories that only he cares for, and a certain incoherence in his thought processes. Subtle, but when compared to normal people it becomes more obvious.

Unfortunately, as he goes down, so do the Cowboys. But I really believe he is only another 2 or 3 years from being out of the picture completely. Once the decline starts, it doesn't stop. It accelerates.

I'm not an ageist.

Goes on ageist spiel.

I tried to listen to Jerry's presser buy i tapped out around the 10min mark. Dude just loves to hear himself talk.

 

[Blackrain]

Yep I tapped out too after about 15 minutes I just couldn't stand to listen to them reinforcing how incompetent , unprepared and unprofessional a front office they really are.
It's so blatantly obvious the eagles front office does the work required to be a championship team we just survive in spite of ourselves.

I don’t get why this matters.

Leave the fandom or lay back and enjoy it.

When it comes to media exposure, press conferences and interviews, I really wish Jerry would behave more like an owner than a GM. Owners typically aren't heard from until they are being presented a Lombardi trophy.

Otherwise, owners are silent, an admirable quality that Jerry should consider even at this late stage..
