Jerry Jones nominated for HOF

[cowboyblue22]

lots of the press in other cities is upset with this most wanted Pat Bolen in.

 

[ragman]

There are some ticked off people in Denver right now who think Pat Bowen was far more deserving than Jerry ever has been...

You know what I would do if I were you? I'd start praying that Jerry gets in. If Jerry doesn't get in, then other execs won't get in either. BTW, his name is BOWLEN. Bowlen won't get in, and neither will Young of the NYG and Beathard of WASH.

 

[DallasDomination]

Pat Bolen fan boys all over the place! He has more sbs than he does losing seasons. He was so influencial with the t.v deals blah blah blah.

You know what? Jerry Jones has the #1 brand in the nfl. His team casts the best ratings and his marketing is second to none. You don't think Jerry has been influencial? These guys are clowns. If you live in Colorado turn the radio off now.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Congrats Jerry!

 

[erod]

Imagine...

Jerry in the Hall of Fame.

Jimmy not.

What we have here is an ill-gotten system.

 

[TheDude]

Translating that speech is gonna be a herculean effort.

Jerry Jones is the Gene Simmons of the NFL. Im sure there are some Cowboy Coffins and prophylactics out there...if not there will be soon

Just wait till fire comes out of his mouth !!!!

The league itself cares those who are fans of the NFL care. These moves only help make the NFL stronger. No one is saying Jerry is a great GM but his action within the NFL itself has benefited this league.

Not just stronger but wealthier and more powerful.

Jerry revolutionized the revenue streams so the results of the team wouldn't Impact the revenue and he'd be able continue his selfish passion wIthought suffering financial hardship if he wasn't successful on the field.

This has always been about Jerry Jone$ and not the Dallas Cowboys or he'd of stepped down as GM. Who cares that he's pimped the iconic label of the NFL and the Cowboys if we can't consistently contend for a championship?

 

[Diehardblues]

I don't understand why this had to be done now. I was hopeful it would be done posthumously.

Here's to hope 80% won't approve him on the first ballot . This will just reinforce his selfish ambitions to remain as GM handicapping and hindering Cowboys football operations.

List of JJ accomplishments as an owner:

- 3 time SB winner. While that may have been 20 years ago, but that still happened and hugely impressive accomplishment on its own. An accomplishment that could be HOF worthy.
- Spearheaded a new era for NFL stadiums. Jerry World was the 1st stadium in what now can be considered a new era of stadiums. It set a new standard that now every team has to follow. Even a smallish market team like the Vikings had to build a billion dollar stadium.
- Led NFL back to LA (as you previously mentioned). This cannot be ignored though. It has always been weird that there wasn't a NFL team in L.A. This was a huge win for the NFL.
- 2014 NFL Executive of the Year (Lol, j/k...but I know that line would boil a lot of ppl's blood).

In addition to that you cannot ignore the financial impact he's made to the NFL. There is no owner that is more of an asset to the NFL than JJ. And although fans and posters hate this part, the NFL is a business and a business job is to make $. And the decisions that NFL has made over the years have led the NFL to become unquestioned king of all sports right now and a big time billion dollar business. That is the wide scope of impact JJ has had on the NFL. When you combined all the areas JJ has impacted and contributed to the way the NFL works today, he's a HOF as a contributor. (Since NFL allows for owners to be in the HOF).

Read this and then compare to jerry

Jerrys team did win 3 SB early on, but have been lackluster since late 90's.
Still it is 3 SB I give you that, but for the most part what he has done has been anti-ordinary fans, and very good for the owners,
and the owners are the NFL.
Moving rams to LA , I like it, and some in LA may like it , I dont know if they will like paying for the huge new stadium and surrounding area.
But then what about the st louis fans ????? I bet they are not too happy about it.

These big new stadiums are not fan friendly they are owner friendly,psl's, high concessions etc.
The coliseum holds 90,000 the new stadium holds 70,000 ! but it will have the luxury suites and psl's.
So yeah jerry has figured out some clever ways to fleece and alienate many fans,so yeah lets put him in the hof.

But he has done a lot for himself, 4.5 billion of good for himself which shows he is making a little too much profit??
and for the nfl which is the other owners. I cant deny that, and if they want to put him in hof, so be it.

 

[Doomsay]

and that is your opinion.

It's a fact, challenge it. Oh, that's right, you can't.

 

[Doomsday101]

Challenge what? Your opinion? lol As an Owner in the NFL he has made a big impact to the league. As GM no one is claiming he should go but again it is your view and there is nothing to counter. You are not voting on this nor am I you have your views based on your own hatred of Jones well good for you evidently others do not see it as you do including me

 

[mahoneybill]

not really, it is not about what he did for cowboys, but for the nfl as a whole.

Jimmy should be in as he won 2 in a row, not many coaches have done that.

Good point. Hopefully we will have our version of Bill Walsh/Ed Debartolo from the niners..... Also getting 2 Cowboys coaches in would be great .. Landry & Jimmy

 

[Diehardblues]

Blah, blah, blah....if my Uncle was a girl he'd be my Aunt.

Jerry has been at the forefront of the League and owners for at least 20+ years...he is getting in.

I've been a fan for over 50 years. The last 20 are not impressive .I'm not proud of what the NFL or the Cowboys have become.

A watered down talent pool with the Salary Cap. Still cream at the top but very little depth. Miss the Dynasty teams. We had Parity without Cap. It was implemented simply as an expense controlling mechanism so owners like Jerry couldn't be held accountable for not spending more on players salaries to retain them.

Stadium sponsorships a huge loophole for owners which isn't shared with the players union like TV revenue and ticket sales .

Basically put in place to circumvent the players union and share while pricing the average diehard fan from attending games .

All for what? So owners wouldn't need to be successful on the field to generate additional revenue with less accountability to the fans.

No, I think the NFL has become another Reality TV example to attract fringe fans who otherwise wouldn't be expending their time or money with the NFL while taking market share away from other sports .

Their Fantasy Football is another great example that has attracted fringe fans while influencing how fans cheer players and teams on. Who would have ever thought we'd have Cowboy fans cheering for rival team players to benefit their team?

Great post! I agree whole heartily.

Talent pool is the same, just more spread out evenly.

Since you hate what the NFL has become, it's weird that you subject yourself to it.

Don't hate it. I said I'm not proud of what it has become.

Much of the changes are in large part because of the players Union not the owners. Limited practice and limited work in pads? Players Union. Owners facing law suites because of safety issues so of course rules will change. NFL has flaws as does everything else in life but it is stronger than ever in terms of it's attraction to the public viewers

It's wealthier because of it's attraction to more fringe fans. Why is this such a good thing for true diehard fans of NFL football ?

Do I like they way the game was back in the 60's and 70's? Yes of course but given how players have become bigger, faster and stronger also comes more injuries and to address some of that the NFL I think has been forced to change some of these things. I also am not a fan of FA but again it is what the players unions wanted.
