After seeing Jerry very briefly as he addressed the media last night, 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. He doesn’t care as much about winning games as he does the visual aesthetics at his theater, uh I mean stadium.
Fewer fans are buying the kool aid. Fewer still think he has any credibility left. Boos and empty seats are only drowned out by the cheers of the opposing fans taking up half of AT&T. 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. Lies about the salary cap and free agency options; lies about how “close” his teams have been. 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 Johnson had been elected to the Pro Football HOF may have been the worst day in Jerry’s 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 real “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. Maybe it’s time to step aside. This mess is yours.
Football Karma don’t care how much money your team is worth. It only pays attention to great rosters who get lots of playoff wins. And Jerry and his giggling entitled son don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to building a great roster in the cap era.
Knock, knock. Who’s there? Uh Jerry it’s for you. Some lady named Karma. And she can’t be paid off.
