That is stupid. I don't think there is another owner whom players and explayers like more than Jerry. The fact that 3 hall of fame players have asked him to deliver their hof introduction speeches speaks for itself and says a lot about the type of man he is.

He pays and often overpays for them. He is a very loyal boss for his players. If I played for him I'd love him too. That he was asked to present a player for the HOF has nothing to do with his overall likability.

He does not belong in a list with racists, criminals and cheats. The only reason he is in that list is because he owns the Dallas Cowboys.

There are many others on the list with Jones who are not racists, criminals, or cheats. That is the entire point. Some people in sports are, by the lawful things they do, still hated.

I think the fact that Jerry opens his mouth and tries to come off as some sort of football expert only because he has bought his way into the chair is reason enough to dislike him.

Don't worry, he's in like company.

There was this Internet meme (poster) of Dez as if he's praying with the words, "Cowboys fans be like: Please say something racist, Jerry."
I thought it was funny.

What was your question again? Oh. "Why didn't I crack the top 10 of SI.com's
Most Disliked People In Sports list?" Good question. It wasn't for lack of trying.
I keep passing along hair-brained ideas straight from the owners and only
make number 14 on SI's list. Don't worry though. I am going to re-double
my efforts in the coming year. Tops on my new list is the owners wanting a
NFL franchise awarded to Taiwan. The Southeast Asia market is wide
open and we, I mean the owners, are going to capitalize on it.
Next question.​

Hate you? Sounds like someone needs to get another grip.
Your earlier assessment you posted of me was completely (and obviously) off. Or perhaps you were joking. Regardless, I should apologize for the "hate" remark.

This should be no surprise to anyone that keeps up with Jerry.

Cowboy fans are the most forgiving when it comes to Jerry.

I honestly cannot remember even once hearing anybody that wasnt a Cowboy fan talking about Jerry and it not being in a negative fashion. They all thing he's a self absorbed clown and all it does is feed their hate for the Cowboys.

You guys should be happy...he's improved from #1 overall to #15 lol. He's getting better. Give him another 10 years and he won't be on the list at all.

Then again, in 10 years he may not be on the planet at all, either.
