Okay guys... how much money can we pool together to buy the Cowboys?

I'll start moving around the hundreds of dollars in my bank account
the nfl doesnt allow pools or regular people to buy nfl teams lol.
Green Bay is the exception, and they did it a long time ago when it was ok.

Teams are so expensive now they are allowing more than one billionaire to buy a team, but they dont want us ordinary folks involved
in their league.
We might vote against some of the crap they do.

It's outstanding for Jerry to make this claim after spending what he has lately.
His record may be far less impressive for the last 5 years, on the average. :rolleyes:

I think someone made a thread about that and he was towards the bottom.

This argument about what teams spend on players is a red herring. Jerry spends on plays. It is not always the players we want him to spend on but he shells out money like every other team. Our complaint is he won't spend money on free agents who can fill gaps in the roster like every other team in the NFL does. Overpaying Dak does not fill a need at DE or DT. It may make it harder to fill those needs.

When is the last time Dallas had a significant roster gap and Jerry paid a top tier free agent to fill it?

Kendricks wasn’t a top tier free agent, but he certainly played like it last Sunday.

WR Amari Cooper I believe was the last player Jerry spent $$$$ to help upgrade the team.

Alright so I've got a good workaround here.

We'll funnel all of our money to myself, and I will pose as an AI/Crypto Venture Capitalist worth Billions.

Then I'll crowd-source all the decisions to CZ. Not the little decisions, just the big ones like:

"Should we make McClay the GM?"

"Should we hire the coach or should McClay?"

"Should the pants actually be silver going forward?"

Can we get a Risen exception?
Risen will be barred from all meetings but it will be voluntary on his part. There will not be any likes for him in any of these positions. (He lives for likes!)

No matter how you look at it the last few years especially the boys have some good players all over the team. They are in the top rankings for number of pro bowlers each year. None of that is their issue. Untill they change the culture jerry can not spend enough to buy a SB.

I think AC and Rockport get stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, mixed up, surprised, awed, dumbfounded, nonplussed, flabbergasted, astounded, amazed, confounded, astonished, overwhelmed, horrified, numbed, speechless, and perplexed about Mountaineer and his posts. They want rainbows, unicorns and lollypops in their lives. lol
I now would like to hear a song using every single word in your post, lol.
That would be epic.

It would have to be a rock and roll song, I only play the blues...because I'm a sad soul away from the devil.

Nah. Start off with the your currently awful living situation and the heat in Rockport has become more terrible because, of course, your AC just went out and now you're reliving all of the "stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, mixed up, surprised, awed, dumbfounded, nonplussed, flabbergasted, astounded, amazed, confounded, astonished, overwhelmed, horrified, numbed, speechless, and perplexed" moments you had to travail to get to this miserable moment.

That's Blues baby!

I disagree and still think you're awesome.
lol...thank you, actually for the last several evenings we have been working on a tune (no name yet) but it is in the Dorian Minor Mode, perfect for the blues with the notes G,A,B,G,D,E,F# back to G. I have to keep getting after my drummer and base player to keep the beat, after all they are the heart beat of any band.
