After seeing Jerry very briefly as he addressed the media the other day, it was sadly obvious- he has become a pathetic old echo chamber. He only listens to those who tell him what he wants to hear. He only speaks to those who won’t call him out. That circle is shrinking.
Fewer fans are buying the kool aid. Fewer still think he has any credibility left. He’s become a shallow character- a carnival barker who’s getting old; the old tricks don’t work any more- and even he knows it. His past multitude of skeletons once hidden in payoffs and non-disclosure agreements are being discovered- even those he thought his money could silence. Welcome to the digital age Jerry.
Karma is knocking on his door. And Karma cannot be paid off and doesn’t sign NDAs. Everywhere he turns these days, mirrors are popping up. The clock is ticking louder and louder. His once vibrant energy has faded. He looks old and his charade of trying to prove he is a football guru is now only accepted within the family circle and the fewer and fewer fans who love him anyway.
The day Jerry heard Jimmy was elected to the HOF may have been the worse day in his life. In his mind, his HOF election now probably takes a backseat to Jimmy’s. Because Jerry is in the hall as a “contributor”. Jimmy is in as head coach. It’s obvious who the “football man” is.
Yep. Better answer the door Jerry. Karma is on the front porch and she can’t be bought or silenced. Karma is undefeated. The clock nears midnight. Maybe it’s time to change your ways.
The issue is most fans are casual in nature and don't get overly involved in the offseason and they will keep the seats filled.
And because a lot Cowboys Fans are purely football season only: September = kickoff of the opening game through January = whistle at 0:00 in the 4th qtr of the last game.
'Bobhaze' - surprizing at it may be, many fans of Dallas take no notice of the owner (especially those that don't reside in metro DFW and Texas). They pay no attention to Jones - his interviews, press conferences, the sports networks coverage of him when those moments come up.
Even with the daily internet access of all things about this franchise - many followers don't partake in that exercise year-round like you, 'Doomsday', myself, most CZers, and fans that connect to other Dallas Cowboys sites and forums.
I'm not stating that they are unaware of Jones' failings and flaws - especially regarding those connected to running the team. They just choose to focus on the players and their performances during the seasons. And so be it if the results fall short....they still put in the support, and bring their excitement and hope every year.
And in the end - like a number of people have posted - it just entertainment.
