Jones family - It's time for an intervention

No my friend. It's FAR past time for that.

If Jerrys all about the money, would he sell the team to one of those middle eastern "sovereign wealth funds" for way more than its worth? $50bn maybe?

They seem to be buying into pro sport in a big way. Only a matter of time before they try and buy NFL teams for crazy money.

BTW I dont agree with their sports washing approach and wouldnt like this to happen.

If Jerry sold it would have to be to an American Billionaire or fund, I think the sale would get blocked by the NFL or government if it was sold to anybody else.

 

[CCBoy]

No my friend. It's FAR past time for that.

Jerry already made it from Hoffa and the Teamsters. Want to start from that point and then providing for a Jimmy Johnson?

He doesn't understand process and sport both?

 

[Hadenough]

Jerry’s already inflated ego has grown exponentially in the last few years. Probably thinks because he has the most valuable sports franchise that he rules the sports world. He’s certainly had some success with his 3 Super Bowls and billions in the bank. But what he’s doing lately with these star player negotiations is hurting the football team. It’s a distraction. A huge distraction. Now Jerry likes the distraction, “Any news is good news for the Cowboys” but this is getting out of hand. Time to do something Stephen and kids. It’s all about Jerry right now when it should be all about the team. Please do something about because the Cowboys are currently the biggest joke in the NFL because of all this contract negotiation nonsense.

He who has the gold makes the rules. And any children that buck the system will be written out of the estate! So you tell me who goes first to approach the dictator.

I'm not buying they are stupid from the start...they don't collect a lot of foreign money for the kids.

 

[Rockport]

Yep and for years and years of ineptness I continued to spend my money on this team but I realized I was just fueling this nonsense a long time ago. You can continue to pony up though.

If you’re watching the games, you’re lining Jerry’s pockets so please continue to pony up.

 

[Rockport]

I sort of agree on this but I challenge the laughing stock part as a negative

Making headlines - making billions - everyone hates the team or loves them

Remaining in the spotlight is better than not

Ask Cleveland fans about laughing stock of NFL
Irrelevant - not even mentioned half the time
Do they even exist in this NFL machine

Cowboys are not a joke or a laughing stock because they drive and churn this marketing machine and maintain relevance in the NFL

Highest rated / viewed games
Most national stage presence - heck world stage

So laughing stock —— nah

Well, check ESPN and the NFL network and whenever they talk about the Cowboys they’re laughing their ***** off.

It’s a distraction. A huge distraction.

Since we have had the recent release of the new Netflix series I am hoping it will make fans think more deeply about the mgmt style of the current ownership.

Although we are dealing with different decades, take a look at the team's media styles from the 60's, 70's, and 80's versus what we had in the 90's, and 2000's. Especially after the departure of Parcells and the hiring of Phillips and Garrett.

It's like there two different teams. Both of them were America's Team. Both teams were the premier frainchise in the league.

But there is a stark contrast in the behaviours at display from the leadership of the team on a day to day basis.

 

[Bullflop]

My longtime impression of Jerry suggests that he'd be considerably less than graciously inclined to accept a family intervention. He's a stubborn case study, to be sure. It seems doubtful that his likely response would be one that the rest of the family would ever want to risk. Hence, the lack of any involvement in such an undertaking. Jerry has long been one to give harsh reaction to criticism.

 

[MapleLeaf]

All y’all should watch the Netflix special on the cowboys.
It might explain something’s!

In short it’s Jerry’s business.
If you don’t like it pull for some other team.
In the words of the rock…. It doesn’t matter what you think!

I agree. The Netflix series was very insightful.

I just wish as a fan that it wasn't this way for a team I love to cheer for.

Honestly Jerry's style makes it hard to be a fan when you want the team mission to align with your views of how an NFL franchise should be run. You don't have to have everything you want in life, but it would be great if the Cowboys were a quiet, steady and stable ship.

I think they would still be the premier franchise in the league. They could have won SuperBowls using this mgmt style, and still be at the top of the value chain in worldwide sports franchises.

IMO Ithey could have accomplished all the successes of the past 35 years without the manufactured drama. But that is just me.

It will be easier to push Jerry’s non-sensical behavior once the season starts. Hang in there. Things will get better.

Sports washing is just awful but we allow it because capitalism

Again


Just adding dollars to the pockets of the NFL

Laughing on BSPN and any other talking head shows is all a part of the show and shtick

To me a joke or laughing stock in literal terms means no one shows interest , No one tunes in

These shows can’t live without the cowboys
Hardly a “laughing stock “

Teams stilll get up and prepare for the cowboys
Do you think teams do that for for a team
Like The Browns ?

They’re currently a laughingstock IMO.

 

[Wildcat711]

Wouldn't it be nice if we had owners like the Packers.

Only hope I have is when Jerry is gone.. all the kids start fighting with each other.. Stephen gets the chits and sells.

Otherwise I have a horrible feeling its not going to get much better for quite a while.

Totally disagree. Do some research @Rockport . Jerry is finally putting his foot down. He offered Micah a record setting guaranteed contract. Micah declined it because he has become super greedy and a liar. You are supporting a super greedy liar over the team. Remember, there is a salary cap in place. No player should be above the team’s ability to financially keep or build a playoff capable team in place. The minute you start siding with the player's greed, you've become a player fan over the team fan. Make a choice..

This has nothing to do with whether he signs Micah or not. It’s the circus sideshow that’s making the Cowboys the laughing stock of the NFL that I don’t like. Don’t know how you got anything other than that from my OP.

 

[noshame]

Come on Elon, make us a winner again!

 

[CCBoy]

Poor insights there and not much loyalty for the years of sacrifices and dedication for team ... and yea, fans as well.

To arrive at insult at just the start of a new season with a lot of work behind the status of a whole organization doesn't say much for supposed fans that really believe in saying support and not doing it.

Sorry, you can have that...I still carry respect and care. Even with a criminal supposed chief commander firing real officers.

GO COWBOYS!

Remember when play celebrations were given validity? You call the sacrifices and deadly retirements a circus...Jerry had level 4 cancer for a decade.

I'll just stay on this side of that fence and protect POW's because that is right and the law. Viet Nam was surrendered to Communists. Cambodia murdered 100,000 in Thailand the first week. Know how to process 100,000 POW's in three days? One at a time and by rule.

Jerry has given to the fans and paved boundaries for player safety and equal opportunities for all NFL teams.

That wasn't all just fancy Dan thoughts and just wanting. There was a ton of doing that paved the way as well.

That I DO respect.
