I think you mean "millstone."
I gotta admit, this really cracked me up. I spit tortilla.


What this thread really needs is a hook. Like a billboard. ;)

Great idea!

Can you work on that for me?
It isn't my idea and I don't want to get sued.

On the positive side it looks like firejerryjones.com is under construction. Perhaps you could donate to their [strike]windmill[/strike] worthy cause.

I'm seriously starting to think that we won't win another Superbowl till he either gives up the power to his son or dies.

I doubt you'd get sued. I'm sure there can be more than one billboard in town.

As for windmills, I'm more of an oil man myself.

There's a rebuilding process after a dynasty.....This would happen no matter what.

True, this is an absolute.

Just look at the New England Patriots to prove the point.

When is the last time they won a Superbowl? And how many did they win?

I can't imagine being a Cowboy fan and a Jerry hater.

I won't speak to your life in general, but your life as a sports fan must be miserable.

Miserable Miserable Miserable!

I'm not saying you have to be a robot or a "Jones appoligist".

This man has made mistakes and should be called on it.

It's just this idea that he's an idiot, meddeling owner who never has or never will get it right.

If you truely feel this way. If you can't see any good in what he has done or what he will do, YOU NEED TO FIND ANOTHER TEAM.

I'm not suggesting this because I don't agree with you or that I wish you would all shut up. Athough this is true, it's not the reason.

I'm conerned for you own mental health and well being.

Jerry Jones is the owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys.

THIS......WILL.........NOT.........CHANGE!

Except it. Get over it. Try to understand the benefits of it.

I will "except" it but I'll never "accept" it and being a fan doesn't mean I have to even though in all likelihood nothing will change until he is 6 feet under.

Jerry proclaimed to be in charge of the socks to the jocks so the criticism falls rightly at his feet.

He fails miserably as a GM and the only reason he continues in this role is because he owns the team. He deserves all the criticism he gets just as he would deserve the credit if he were to one day get it and put a consistently competitive team on the football field and win another Super Bowl one day.

I believe there is atleast ONE, maybe TWO Lombadi's that we have missed out BECAUSE of Jerry Jones decisions and/or meddling.

Me too. I have no grand illusions that the dynasty of the early 90's would last forever. But I do think we would've won 1-2 more SB's in the 90's and never would've dropped to the depths of multiple 5-11 seasons if Jerry hadn't taken over personnel and meddled and brought in his rejects at the HC position.

And I think we would be much better off now challenging for a championship with this latest version. But instead we had the 90's dynasty end prematurely and now have 13 years not only without a championship but without one single playoff win.

Thanks again, Jerry. You really showed us by doing it your way.
