I see people continue to confuse Jerry Jones the GM with Jerry Jones the OWNER.
That's an interesting argument as well. There's no denying his revenue generating accomplishments but when your goal is doing everything within your power to win football games and by continuing to hold the GM position your providing the biggest obstacle or hindrance I can certainly present an argument your not fulfilling your ownership duties to the best of your ability doing everything within your power to win. Wanting to only win your way doesn't qualify .

There is no distinction. The owner hired the GM. They're one and the same.

Never in the history of sports has a great owner hired and retained a terrible GM for two decades.

Jerry is both a terrible GM and owner.

Can never understand why so many so called fans hates their own team, and complains about everything. Even if you do not like Jerry as the owner or personally he still brought you 3 SB's in 4 years from a great franchise that went down hill under a legend, and would have continued that way if any other person would have bout the team, in hindsight anyway. But yet all some can do is whine, whine, whine. That is probably your nature if life anyway.

You moan about not enough Dallas players going into the HOF, and we do desire more, but more from the Landry era. Look how many HOF player went in under Jerry, and that will go in. And don't say it was all Jimmy, because it was not all him, it took both as well as some other great coaches too.

Can't you all just shut up and enjoy, and as a Dallas fan, think of how this irks other teams, owners, and their fans. Though the owners will say they are glad, they may not be. And I love that aspect of it.

You as fans should be proud you can even watch pretty much all the games and all the TC reports as well. As if not for Jerry , you may not have all of this 24/7 coverage. So hate away, but give JJ credit after our next victory, but you won't, heck, you won't even give Jason credit.

The amount of disdain and hatred that some folks around here have for Jerry is absolutely pathetic.

I mean seriously, I could picture some of these fans just gnashing their teeth and clenching their fists while watching Jerry if/when he hoists his next Lombardi.

And I'm not judging anyone. I realize that some people are genuinely not happy unless they have something to complain about or be critical of. But to me it just doesn't seem enjoyable in the least.

The fact of the matter is, Jerry is one of the main "faces" of the franchise. With that being said, I can't help but wonder why the folks who have such deep hatred for him don't just support another team....you know, one ran by people that they DO believe in or CAN get behind.

"There is no substitute for winning, win is the name of the game"



Somewhere along the way he forgot his own words and let ego take over. But would you take 3 Super Bowls for 20 years of mediocrity and the world's richest franchise if asked right now?

you are right somewhere along the way jerry forgot what is really important

Sheesh. I'm not a big fan of Jerry's, but I'm not begrudging the guy his HoF weekend, either.
It's jealousy. Plain and simple.

The incredible success of a self-made billionaire and the amazing life he's led has lots of average folks burning with hate/jealousy. Including Cowboys fans.

Congrats, Jerry. No better owner in pro sports.

Work on your own life and try to find happiness in whatever you do. Perhaps that will help you with your jealousy and hurt feelings.

Self-made billionaire. Captain of a national championship football team. Bought the Dallas Freaking Cowboys for $140 mil and turned them into the most valuable franchise in all sports. 3-time Super Bowl champion. 2014 Exec of the Year who just hit a grand slam with Dak Prescott.

And now he's celebrating his HOF induction while you're hating behind your computer.

Jerry wins, you lose. LOL no wonder you can't stand him.

Maybe it's just me or my homo but sure seem like Jerry has taken over the HOF weekend. Can't remember last time ( if ever ) so much prop, media attention or fuss was made about a Senior HOF inductee.

I tend to agree . It's a shame because if he'd of fired the GM then he might be considered a greater owner in everyone's mind.

It's a love/hate relationship.

I think Jerry might have had more success as a GM if all NFL owners were required to operate as he has.

Jerry basically bought his way in to fulfill his fantasy of being a football guy without the accountability that coaches have to endure.

The revenue streams he brilliantly created presented a mechanism to where his lack of success on the field would not have as much effect on the revenue.

Yes , he might have made a little more if he won more but he was able to make enough without more success on the field .

Make no mistake Jerry isn't interested in winning unless he's involved. That makes his ownership more about Jerry Jone$ than the Dallas Cowboys.

LOL "lack of success on the field".

3-time Super Bowl champion and coming off of a 13-3 season.

Only the Patriots have more Super Bowls since Jerry bought the team.

No doubt the early success with Jimmy set Jerry up but these last couple decades is more than enough evidence Jerry couldn't figure it out on his own consistently nor enough to reach the pinnacle again.

We had a 13-3 team in 2007 and I didn't hear anyone saying Jerry was less involved.

For some reason you guys are just wanting to make yourself feel better. I'm actually giving Jerry some credit for this team.

Damn, I really hoped you'd wake up dead today. I was pulling for you.
Unless you decide to go play on the freeway, it looks like you'll need to double up on the Depends
and try your best to make it through the night.

Go Cowboys!

Last night, Brad Sham said that Jerry spent "seven or eight figures" on the Hall of Fame party he's throwing tonight in Canton. More than 1,500 people are invited, including a lot of media folks.

Sham added that $5 million was spent on entertainment alone. Good gosh, who's playing the party?

I want to go. Please.

Zeke needs to stay in the hotel and play video games.


One of my partners and his wife were there last night. Looked like a blast. Justin Timberlake was part of the entertainment.
