Here's a flashback from 2012 and history repeating itself:
Tim Macmahon is the reporter asking the tough questions. Coincidentally, he no longer covers the Dallas Cowboys.
This is a great find because of its inherent relevance. It is better than the OP's video. Dan Patrick mentions briefly Jerry Jones the GM but Patrick and his staff's main talking points about the team were:
- Jason Garrett
- Dak Prescott
On the other hand, Macmahon focused
SIX years ago questioning Jones and forcing him to publicly comment WHY he feels it necessary to run football operations and not allow someone qualified to do so in order to attract better results.
Macmahon did what everyone--media, fans, peers--should be doing because it is basically the only way for a narcissist to face his or her narcissism. Some people are hopelessly dependent thinking Jerry Jones the businessman will change if customers will stop lining his pockets with money. They want to stop buying his merchandise. They want to stop buying tickets to his games.
These examples are all
wasted effort that will never coerce Jerry Jones the businessman to admit to himself that his and everyone else's central problem is Jerry Jones the narcissist. Let us all be rational for a moment. For decades, '
normal' NFL owners have dealt with merchandising sales that pale in comparison to Jones'. '
Normal' NFL owners have watched their stadiums filled to half capacity on game days--sometimes only to 25% of capacity. Did these circumstances change these owners approach OR were some of these cases involving owners
willing to allow someone else to address these problems?
That last question is one I believe a lot of people never think about. I believe what others talk or type about it. I believe a number of people think Jones would not put up with what
'normal' NFL owners have faced running other teams because they 'know' Jones' main motivation is greed.
Time for people to wake up. Jones is not 'normal'. He has never been 'normal'. Macmahon barely scratched the surface of Jones' mentality SIX years ago. Did anyone watching the video you posted study Jones' reaction? Did anyone study his face during the questioning? Do some people think that is normal because of simple greed and stubbornness?
Okay. And that is why Jones will retain himself as general manager forever. It is not 'normal' for a President and Owner to keep himself penciled in as General Manager. Very few people get in his ear and constrain his thought processes to only
"Why am I doing this year after year?" Dan Patrick didn't. Macmahon did. Thank you Macmahon.
