Twitter: Jerry on smaller Oxnard crowds: "not a concern"

[Zordon]

@MikeLeslieWFAA

Jerry Jones on the lack of fans so far at Cowboys Training Camp: “I look at the crowds just like you do, and I don’t exactly relate a crowd to the date - but the crowd we had out here Opening Day out here looked every bit like the crowd that we’ve become accustomed to out here. I, too, have seen some afternoons when they weren’t totally full out here, but I know this - from the standpoint of the traffic jams out here, and the miles and miles of people trying to get in, that looks like you’re gonna come out here, and there will be 100,000 people. But there’s just so much to what’s going on around here, that that hasn’t been something that should concern us.”

I don't know what's worse...reading his quotes or actually hearing them

Can someone interpret

Why should he be concerned? They freakin sold season tickets at record pace!

?????? "...the miles and miles of people trying to get in...and there will be 100,000 people".

How do we go from a traffic jam of 100,000 to low crowd numbers being reported by people in attendance?

I look at the crowds just like you do, and I don’t exactly relate a crowd to the date - but the crowd we had out here Opening Day out here looked every bit like the crowd that we’ve become accustomed to out here.

Jones translator:"*You* look at crowd size day-to-day. I do too but I put more emphasize on the crowd size for day one of training camp than what we are both looking at right now."

I, too, have seen some afternoons when they weren’t totally full out here...

Jones translator: "I concede that crowd size dwindles some days..."

...but I know this - from the standpoint of the traffic jams out here, and the miles and miles of people trying to get in, that looks like you’re gonna come out here, and there will be 100,000 people.

Jones translator: "I will validate my opinion of crowd size by deflecting *your* argument to traffic congestion, bringing fans into training camp, and the number of people inside vehicles should equal 100,000 visitors you and I are not seeing right now."

But there’s just so much to what’s going on around here, that that hasn’t been something that should concern us.

Jones translator: "But you should concentrate and ask questions about what you see players and coaches are doing in training camp like I do. That is why the smaller crowds do not concern us (e.g. me)."

I have no idea what he just said.

 

[fivetwos]

First he boasts over season ticket renewals when they basically have no choice, and now the traffic in Southern Cal is about the Cowboys.

Ok Jerry.

At least when you read his quotes, you don’t have listen to all his ums, huhs and lip smacks.

Stupid to go to Oxnard anyways, it's getting old, practice at the star! Go to a college or something high school field

Jerry Jones is no longer “a concern”. His only significance is based on whether or not he signs Dak Prescott to another contract. He is too old, and too stupid to realize his relevance is dependent on others. The ship has sailed. To the NFL Jerry Jones is little more than a pimple on the *** of progress. Jerry is over. And Dak, CeeDee and Micah can’t save him.

 

[calico]

Yeah. He knows the opposing team fans will sell out the stadium.

He’s getting paid either way.

It’s interesting what fame and billions do to our perceptions. If I didn’t know who this was and saw this old man looking like this - with the grizzled beard, the ill-fitting clothes and slurred speech, I might think he was a sad, homeless man needing some help.

A few years ago I was driving one evening to go out to eat with my wife. She is not a Cowboys fan and knows almost nothing about the team. Jerry Jones was speaking on one of his too numerous radio appearances. When my wife heard what he was saying she exclaimed, “Who is that weird man talking about the Cowboys?” She had no idea who it was. When I told her it was the owner of the Cowboys she said, “That man makes no sense.”

By now I think most Cowboys agree with my wife.

 

[KJJ]

If the crowds become smaller at the stadium on Sundays, that will be a concern to him.

 

[Hardline]

I wish the the stadium looked like that on game day.

 

[Bagman]

How many General Managers in the NFL were talking about training camp attendance today ? Hint.......one.

Jerry takes 400 words to say “I’m not worrried”
