Anyone else feeling Jerry is sensing the end is not too far and he wants to do it while he can before missing on it?

Jerry is old....

:cool:
I think it was more like watching a parade with 500,000 people right down the street. That can make a man change his way too.

It's getting harder to listen to Jerry talk. He seems to be struggling to remember the words he's looking for.

Reporter: You always said it was going to happen. Why now? What has transpired? You guys met before the Chargers game. Why now?

Well first of all. I really thought it was time and I wanted to do it this year. As you know, we do not have a set timeframe of when to do the Ring of Honor thing. And so, frankly, it just felt right. Certainly, there was some, a little awkwardness that was happening for not doing it that I guess I anticipated but I really didn't anticipate. And so I wouldn't have wanted that to linger any longer at all.

We have a deal in the Hall of Fame that even if someone goes and tries to get in, and maybe is nominated fifteen times, but when you are in, you're in.

"Awkwardness" = accumulated pressure. What type of accumulated pressure exactly is a good question. Then the classic deflection followed.

Jones confirmed the timing was due to the December game being on FOX. That is pretty savvy. Get Johnson and Aikman's network involved. The connection between the franchise and the primary broadcaster of Cowboys games (NFC) is undeniable. Smart.

Well, yeah, I'm sure the longer he waited, the more it felt like he'd only be doing it to placate the fans. It's kinda like when you do something you don't wanna tell your wife about, even though you think she deserves to know. It gets harder and harder to come out and say it.
