I think it's over

[TheMightyVanHalen]

Fixed that for ya. I know tough to keep up, I was a little young when it came out and remember it from the 80s myself.



One of the best movie lines of all time.

When was the last time you seen it? I used to think it was too back when I first seen it all stoned to the bone when I thought everything was funny. About 5 years ago I rewatched it and didn't laugh once. One of the dumbest movies ever. It's funnier than "Hubie Halloween" though. Lol

What if I was to tell you that I think the Dallas teams the past 10 years have been fun and very hopeful?

I would say you are living in a fantasy world

one of the all-time funniest, slapstick comedies ever.

I was referring to the line "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" , not the entire movie when I said "One of the best movie lines of all time", hence the word line.

That being said, I still think the movie, as a whole, was a very funny slapstick comedy, and in my top 20.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

It was for 1000 or so folks when the Titanic hit that block of ice. A disaster caused in part by an ego needing to set a trans-Atlantic speed record.

ok until the end of this post. Wouldnt Stephen selling be a good thing? what do you mean a team the gamblers will love?

 

[morat1959]

The only enjoyment left and the only reason I still watch some of the games is pulling for a loss. The more lopsided the score, the better. I’ve joined the fans of other teams in watching the laughing stock of the league 28+ years running.

Stephen idolizes money and he's lazy.

If someone came in with a crazy offer, he would absolutely sell.

It will be interesting to see how Jerry crafts the asset allocation of the Cowboys, and his empire, in his will. I don't think Stephen will get complete autonomy, Charlotte and others will get some vested interest IMO.
If someone comes with some serious coin to buy the team, all of them would have a vote to decide.

I agree that Stephen might hire a GM and can act more like an Owner to dabble into football issues here and there. He looks like the type that would rather be on a yacht, eat, drink, and get fat.

I must be missing something. What is over? Football will continue, the Cowboys will continue, Jerry will continue to own the team untill he passes then Stephen or the next family member in line is. I mean the only thing that can be over is your/our individual fandom. We have 11 games to go in what is probably a losing season but they've been losing for 27+ years at this point. There are some teams that have never won a SB and yet they remain and still have fans. Talk about selling of this team before Jerry is even in the ground is extremely pre-mature. If Stephen wanted to do that he wouldn't care about balancing the cap for the future like he does. His whole philosophy is not leveraging future to try and win now.

Sooner or later time catches up with everyone. No matter how big your dreams were we cannot live forever here in this life, and that reality sets in.
I think it's setting in for the Joneses.
The Cowboys were once the most loved franchise in sports. Their commitment to excellence and high expectations were realized in the results. They set out to achieve greatness, and they did.
But since 1993, that organization has no longer existed. Jerry's love for the limelight and his pride caused him to abandon the values that made the Cowboys franchise the most loved team in all of sports. His need to be seen as "the man" superseded the things that made this franchise great, and they were simply left out. The result was that the Cowboys of the past disappeared, and along the way everyone who knew what that meant disappeared with the memories.
The new Dallas Cowboys became a circus. While Jerry wanted them to be successful, his need to be seen as the reason they were successful was his main priority. He never realized that he was killing the franchise he purchased and once fulfilled it's purpose with Jimmy Johnson by winning two Super Bowls and building what may have been the most dominating team in the history of the NFL.
But that success also doomed the franchise. Jerry's pride took over, and though they would still win one more Super Bowl, the end of the Cowboys we once loved had begun.
Over the next thirty years we watched as "Jerry's Team" took over in Dallas. And while he put together talented rosters, his need to be seen as the mastermind behind the Cowboys success always undermined them. First it was his desire to be the loving grandfatherly figure to whomever he deemed as the next rising star. Then, as desperation set in, he became the NFL's big money businessman, and his wheeling and dealing helped teams secure the tax dollars to build majestic domed stadiums.
But the franchise that we once loved was gone, and the knowledge of how to achieve the greatness it once represented was gone with it.

I think the end of the Joneses is near. I think reality is setting in.
Jerry destroyed the team he first bought and restored to glory, and father time has caught up with him. I doubt Stephen will keep the Cowboys. I think he will sell, and the memories of what they once were will be gone, replaced by the new NFL's type of team; one that the gamblers will love.

I think it was over before you pushed "Post Topic!" Nothing else to see here for this team

Please take @leeblair and the rest of the Casuals with you….I recommend the Texans. Hopium is still Fresh in Houston

 

[DFWJC]

the last time it was over was in 2002 and Jerry hired Parcells. Same approach needed now but with Belichick

Stephen and Jerry are wild spenders compared to BB

On the other hand, it would 100% for sure mean Dak would either be traded or have to take a huge pay cut

They are the most valuable NFL team in the world.

Who cares?

"Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"

Nothing is over until we decide its over

 

[DCwarrior]

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Bruh, it was the Japanese.

 

[raven55]

DON'T WORRY he will sell all you a load of bricks when it's straw and you will buy it

 

[leeblair]

They are the most valuable NFL team in the world.

Who cares?

Probably not for much longer.
As fans turn away their value will go down.
And it's happening as we speak.

 

[plasticman]

When exactly did "it' begin?

 

[IceStar-D7]

WE in a bye week and instead of trying to figure out how to fix the Cowboys?? The story as always is on Jerry. We should be called the Dallas Joneses. Everything has to be about Jerry. Jerry-Jerry-Jerry. What a narcist!!!

 

[Cowboys5217]

Bruh, it was the Japanese.

Never saw the movie did you???
