News: Ex-Cowboys say Bears less Hollywood than Cowboys

[Chocolate Lab]

Of course it's true.

The pressure to succeed in Dallas is different than in Chicago..sorry.

And not everybody is going to succeed under those spotlights.

Many times I think this team would play better if it didn't always have to look over its shoulder at the Aikman/Smith/Irvin era.

I don't think they're talking about the spotlight. They're talking about the Jerrycircus.

Haven't we heard this before the last few years about the country club/Hollywood atmosphere at Valley Ranch? It might be overblown but since it crops up now and then maybe there is a smidgeon of truth in it.

Yes, the smidgeon is only slightly visible above the surface, but these 3 ex Cowboys were respectful in their restraint.

The "all about football" atmosphere in Chicago really straightened out Sam Hurd.

 

[Idgit]

First class, Rat. Down to the new DT who faked injury to steal money and then talked public smack about his old team the week before the game. Classy.

What's wrong with being Hollywood, exactly?

The "all about football" atmosphere in Chicago really straightened out Sam Hurd.

And it's led to so many championships.

What's ironic is that Chicago never would have paid Ratliff all that money that Hollywood Jerry did.

It hasn't seen a ring since Joe Willie.

True, but the reality is, Jeremiah an obvious aged and injured traitor, and probably didn't have too many suitors other than a desperate, and banking-on-vengeance-uplift team like the Bears, so he has to plug them a bit.

Ratliff focusing on a craft? Hmm...

Maybe Ratliff just didn't want to be here. And if you don't want to be somewhere, what do you do? You do what you need to get kicked out or just leave. But the truth is, this franchise is a complete joke. None of these people from top to bottom know football.

I think Rat is a piece of crap. Honestly, he should be suspended for what he did. With that being said, he's spot on about Dallas being Hollywood.

 

[coult44]

What's wrong with being Hollywood, exactly?

18 years of mediocre, crappy, bottom tierl, heartless teams...

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Usually in anger you speak the most truth. Poor logic in thinking that by attacking their character automatically nullifies the truthfulness of their statements. Besides anyone with a working brain already knows that the system Jerry has in place is flawed.

 

[Little Jr]

Lol cowboys have always been hollywood. People act like jj started it. Its been that way since the 70s. There wasn't any team more hollywood than the 90s cowboys. Jj could stop talking ti the media and hire a real gm and they will still be hollywood. The media can't get enough of the cowboys. Its called ratings.

 

[Dday22t]

They are all about football! That's why their record is so much better than ours..... oh wait.

Get real. If either team had better players, they'd have better records.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Lets see they haven't won since 1985 and we haven't won since 1995...

 

[TrailBlazer]

Where there's smoke, there's fire. I know they were just answering a question from an agenda driven reporter but I've heard this so much, there's gotta be some truth to it.

 

[Manster54]

First class, Rat. Down to the new DT who faked injury to steal money and then talked public smack about his old team the week before the game. Classy.

Forget Jerry, that's not really the point as I see it. I'm not a Jerry apologist. I can't recall disliking an ex cowboys player this much. I'm looking forward to seeing Jeremiah get his.

 

[Zordon]

Hasn't "Hollywood" always been connected to this organization though? Its not a recent development.

this is what i was thinking. difference btw then and now is we used to have players who didn't crumble under that "hollywood" pressure.

1) working on your craft Ratliff? was your craft screwing over your employer to the point of being jettisoned? if so, you get an A+
2) Hollywood? check
3) the irony of Dallas being Hollywood is that if JJ actually had a real GM, then he would have even MORE time to stick himself in any other media circus that he wanted to create
4) Jeremiah? that cracks me up...all of a sudden, he goes more biblical with his name...ironic coming from the devil
