I wish I could be as unsuccessful as Jerry is.

Separate business from football.

He's a successful businessman. He's not a successful GM and team builder.

This article is spot on.

Agreed.
Its intriguing how we are carrying the NFL in ratings and fan interest and yet we are a .500 team. The raiders fell hard like we have and no one even cares.
The Rams are flying high in LA and we are still the show everyone wants to see.
It hasn't amounted to championships for sure but it sure has made lots of money for these teams.
Us hardcore fans want wins and not ratings. But the other side says this is really just entertainment whatever Jerry is doing entertains so many.
Its fascinating really. How a team can be so irrelevant for so long and yet be the most valuable franchise in the world.

The Yankees/Notre Dame effect.

Teams that somehow stay relevant despite periods when they sucked.

It doesn't sound like Jerry is afraid of and threats from Goodell and his cronies and doesn't plan on backing down anytime soon. Goodell screwed the Cowboys and Cowboy Fans over this year. I hope Goodell goes down hard.

That is a hit piece ordered by the league to be written and published by a discredited sports channel.
Timing is everything.

Yea I agree. We've been yelling about Jerry the GM for decades. Where was ESPN then? As for Jerry vs Goodell I hope he destroys him and ESPN with him.

I think Jerry sold his soul to Satan for those three Super Bowls. He should've bargained for more.

Jerry knows a lot less about football than he does about money. He also has a bit of a hubris problem that extends from the one to the other...

that is thanks to us. The fan bases have incredible passion for the teams.
