It's almost over

I'm surprised it took until July 14th for you to post this.

Playoff hockey definitely helps eat the dead of the summer.

Curious to see if Training camp attendance is still "low" or now with Pickens and some moves it gets more out there.

Interesting view...... except for the fact that this 'addiction' won't cause you you murder or steal, won't get you locked up in prison, and won't cause you to end up dead with a needle stuck in your arm while your fellow addicts rummage through your pockets trying to find the remaining stash you might have left over.

But yes, I get the meaning.

Ok you’re referencing heroine addicts and much harsher drugs then I’m eluding to. You can be addicted to painkillers, weed, alcohol…doesn’t necessarily mean you’re murderer or will lol.

Longtime fans like myself are losing interest, and even those in football who were once associated with the great Cowboys teams of the past are slowly disappearing.
Fans who were old enough to enjoy the success of the early nineties are also getting older.
But the fanbase of children who have never known how good this Cowboys franchise once was is Jerry's legacy. And it will not be as strong as the fans that made this "America's Team".
Most of us older fans are fed up. We KNOW how bad it has gotten because we witnessed the teams that made this franchise great.
Jerry's circus hype is not selling anymore. His arrogance in kicking the fans in the teeth as he insisted on shoving incompetence in players and coaches down the throats of the very fans that made this franchise the most loved franchise in sports is finally catching up with him.
That $260 million abomination of a contract he slipped to his latest pet player and that he tried to pass off with the hoopla from last years opening day is the poison pill that finished off most long-time fans.
I don't think these Cowboys will enjoy the fan support this season that they have in the past.
The charade is almost over.

It's still possible that many of the die hards will outlive the Jones administration. Maybe Stephen Jr. will sell.

The hype is still working with a few of the usual suspects, but those numbers are becoming fewer as each year passes.

Yet record attendance and the value of the franchise keeps going up and they have 3 of the top 20 jersey sales in NFL. Cowboys were on national TV 17 weeks last year with 5 prime time games. The Cowboys are still a draw.

The popularity is there. The older fans are tired but they dont represent the majority.

Maybe I was being a little dramatic?

You just described how I feel! I understand that a SB is so hard to achieve and especially without an elite QB and good defense. But how about chasing an elite QB and stop paying mediocre players like they are elite. I don't care what the market says about next man up. Gotta let mediocre players walk. And when you pay Dak with that first contract and he doesn't get it done. Why give him another contract? They just don't even try and I'm fed up with the team and organization. I still like playera like Lamb, Parsons, Ferguson and others but Dak needs to go.
This crap were watching is just confirmation that they don't care about winning. They only care about making money. But the joke is on them because all the NFL makes money. Jerry is too old to care. Jimmy won those SBs and Jerry was along for the ride. That's already proven.

If you are losing interest and don't care, quit posting and find something else to do because it sure looks like you have interest when you are posting here.. You hate the team so why waste your time on a team you hate

you started off well and then turned it into a disguised Dak thread and went off the rails. why? because you have Dak on our mind 365x24x60x60. you can't eat, sleep, sit or do anything without thinking about Dak for 1 second.

secondly, its interesting that you complaint often and keep saying fans losing interest, yet here you are posting yet again. if you are not interested any longer, then just stop posting and reading about cowboys. your post and comment was an oxy moron to what you actually tried to say. so are you going to stop posting?

with that said, there are several aspects of current cowboys that are just the opposite of what you say.
the cowboys are the most valued franchise of any sports team in the world. if they weren't popular they wouldn't have the revenue and market to be that.
last year they were on national TV 17 games with 5 on prime time, more than any other team.
three of the cowboys players are in top 20 of jersey sales in the NFL.
they still fill the stadium, except mid last year and that's why Jerry traded for Mingo and like clock work made a splash move this off season getting pickens. his marketing machine already at work and generating excitment around Pickens and filling seats again.

so there are a lot of cowboys fans out there. they are growing in market. revenue for cowboys is increasing. despite ticket price increases they still fill the stadium and they are still one of the biggest draws when on the road. they still get some of the highest ratings on national TV and primetime games.

the cowboys will continue to have fan support, including from some older fans, which I tend to separate die hard vs. older. so some die hards will complain. including yourself (a big assumption that you are a die hard). you did the same complaint back during Romo era. so this is just as close to a copy and paste of our previous complaint, yet here we are.

people have been talking about jerry circus hype for 30 years. and the cowboys continue to grow in value, market share and fandom, merchendise sales

this cowboys story will continue. you may die off before Jerry, so you will never see it change.

Because he can’t lol. It sounds all good to say you are quitting…but they don’t actually quit. Then they justify it by saying they don’t purchase anything or their ratings don’t count….as if the engagement doesn’t help.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

So you're more pleased that the fan club is growing in numbers while the product on the field is ignored? The product on the field and the people who represented that product (Staubach, etc) is why we all became fans, am I wrong?

Seems like priorities need to be rearranged.

whose priorities? Jerry's priorities is to increase market share and Cowboys value. he has succeeded in doing that. superbowls are irrelevant if its already working and maximizing profits. don't mistake your or my priorities with Jerry's priorities. they are not one and the same.

oh, he has been saying, he is quitting since early 2000s....

I can't speak for anyone else, but im going to ride with the Dallas Cowboys until the last scoop of dirt. I've been watching and supporting them since the late 70's and will continue to do so.

I've been to a few preseason games, alot of regular season games, playoff games and the three Superbowls in the 90's. I've watched them at bars, friends houses and obviously in my own homes.

I've felt the highest joy of the greatest times and I've felt the embarrassing lows of the worst times. I grew up in the D.C. area and remember as a kid crying real tears when we loss to the Washington Skins. Going to school was hell the next day after a loss to the Skins. BUT.... After beating the Washington Skins, I could barely sleep that night because the following morning, it felt like Christmas day going to school talk my **** to my friends who were Skins fans.

With all of this said, I will NEVERRRR abandon my beloved Dallas Cowboys no matter what happens.

So when will you stop posting?
You have zero interest in the Cowboys. You have one agenda here. And we all know what that is.

Fans have not lost interest, nor the media, nor TV wanting to show them nationally.
Fans are frustrated, yes. But they have not lost interest. Why else would that same fans on here, post the same frustrations over and over and over. Just like some will post what they see as good things, over and over and over.

If fans lost interest. No one would be talking about them. No matter how bad fans perceive their team to be. Merchandise sales will still happen. WHY? Because the are fans. And there will always be fans, there will always be new fans.
Even all the 1-15 teams, 2-14 teams, year after year retain their frustrated fans.

Live with it.

I have zero interest in this franchise, except to watch it fall and see how big the fallout will be.
Corruption reigns throughout the NFL and with the Cowboys falling it will have a domino effect on the league.
So really I am watching to see how far the league will go to stabilize the franchise. Much like the games vs the Detroit Lions of the past two years and vs the Texans from Lovie Smith's final season- and a couple of others- it became pretty clear that the NFL was willing to intervene to keep the Cowboys relevant.
And that's when the Anti-trust lawsuits begin.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Nothing fixes complacency like winning. Record attendance is something the Cowboys are known for so that suggests the interest in the Cowboys is still there. You can't dispute the attendance records...

https://www.espn.com/nfl/attendance

Attendance? That's the proof we can't dispute to say interest is waning?

LOL, attendance is dictated by stadium capacity. There's only 3 stadiums with capacity over 80K, and surprise surprise those 3 stadiums teams are in the top 4 of attendance (the Jets and Giants share one). Even the sucky Jets are in the top 3, because....spoiler alert, their stadium holds more people. So the fact that Dallas has close to the biggest stadium in the league, and also plays AT the Giants every year, guarantees the Jets, Giants and Cowboys will all be near the top every year, even if nobody really pays any attention to them.

Of COURSE Jerry wants to pack as many people into his games as possible: more seats = more tickets.

The Chiefs, or Panthers could vault to the top of that list if they wanted to, they'd just have to throw in more seats

You are not a fan, and this statement proves it.

I am not a fan of these Cowboys. I do like some of the players.
I am a fan of the real Dallas Cowboys.
And I watch to see justice done for them and their fans.
