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?

What’s funny is im a big cowboys fan. Im even sitting here on a forum about the cowboys posting while I should be watching my gramma in the pool. But I’m such a big cowboys fan and I won’t even watch that presser. I never do. Too cringey? Sad? These boys don’t look like they having fun. It’s been a rough stretch to say the least
 
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.
 
Roseman is there at the PC to answer a few questions, depart some info and get back to work. That is how all the good GM's handle these events.

Jerry and Stephen Jones see this an opportunity to be in the spot light. They love the media attention. They try to make it all about them and very little about the team. That is why the Cowboy news conference was twice as long.

One of the best drafting teams, and he remembers 35 years ago better than yesterday. Thanks for sharing but watching the whole thing is exhausting and excruciating.

They’ve got Toyota on their background. They’ll probably get a Wrigley sponsorship with all the chewing Sirianni was doing.

Thanks for sharing that. It’s an interesting contrast.
 
This was the first one I watched. I didn't really get much from it. I don't know anything more now than I did an hour ago.

Oh, and BTW, Jerry said Emmitt held out. He did not. He wasn't under contract. He didn't want to play for what was being offered. Who's holding out, Emmitt or Jerry?

Its really tough taking our franchise serious. And why the bar has been lowered. Amazing we aren’t a bottom feeder every year.

Not that I accept it but why I’m thankful we even have 17 meaningful games some years.

Chess vs Checkers

Flexibility vs Granite

Sane vs delusional
 
Jerry is the new Al Davis.
Al Davis towards the end had totally gone senile. he was making all the decisions and making all the wrong decisions, like drafting Demarcus Russell because he had a strong arm and the kid from maryland Heyward-Bey who was no better than our Butler, but because he was fast and you can't teach speed. both were two of the biggest top 10 busts.

Jerry is in that realm now. making stupid trades like for Lance and Mingo, neither of which made sense. drafting players like Mazi and we got lucky they wrestled him down, but he really wanted to draft Manziel, because he was thinking how many Jerseys he could sell.

this team will continue to flounder and make mistake after mistake until Jerry is gone (god rest his soul)
