Just watched the Hard Knocks press conference. Did it remind anybody of 2002? I can't imagine that something this cheesy would be going on if Parcells was still here. And I'm not just talking about the HBO thing. It's the whole Jerry being back on center stage thing and making a Broadway spectacle out of the upcoming 2008 season. I don't like it at all and fear that it could become enough of a distraction to cause us a superbowl.

Your thoughts.

I don't like it, but he's got a new stadium that will need sponsors with the economy being in the scap heap and only looking to get worse over the next couple of years.

I think part of it is Jerry believes that if you can't handle the heat, you need to get out of the kitchen. But I believe that there's no reason to cause a fire when you don't have to. Plus, he probably believes that this team is far more talented then the past teams on Hard Knocks (which he's probably right)

It's going to be an absolute spectacle though. With Owens, Romo, Simpson and Pacman would make for a big enough spectacle. Adding HBO to the mix isn't a good thing.

who cares as long as he continues to make the personnel and coaching decisions he has...he's the best owner in sports

if he needs to do stuff to get more exposure which in turn results in more revenue which in turn allows him to pay for the Romo's, Ware's, Newman's etc etc of the world, I'm all for it, and every die hard Cowboy fan should be too

I thought when Jerry is meddling it is Jethro ways, not Slick Willie ways. You sure you don't mean Tricky Dicky days?

How would "Hard Knocks" in training camp hurt the Cowboys during the season and in the playoffs. What during the playoffs they will be watching taped episodes instead of practice. And also isn't training camp(Oxnard,CA) like 3weeks long they finish back in Dallas.

I'm a little nervous about Hard Knocks, but the focus on Jerry Jones this off season is not greatly different than it was last off season, so if you weren't concerned then, there is no reason to be concerned now.

:D

Oh I don't know if Slick Willie is the right way to put it or not, but I think everybody gets the picture. I just wish sometimes that Jerry would cut out the distractions and let the coach do what's best for the team and leave it at that.

Jerry enjoys the glare too much to amble into the shadows.

He probably meant Hick Willie.

The real question is what plastic surgery is next for Jerry, since he got work done before the last Hard Knocks?

Maybe Jerry will get implants and the show will be called Jerry's HBO Hard Knockers?
