NFL.com Criticism for Jerry Attending Romo's Wedding

[Hostile]

Jerry Jones' much-publicized invitation to Tony Romo's wedding raises a question about just how chummy NFL team owners should be with their franchise quarterbacks.

Put aside, for a moment, the fact owners and players are three months into a labor dispute in which players are suing their bosses, as well as making critical comments about their negotiating tactics and the fact they are staging a lockout. Put aside, too, the fact Jones needed special permission from the league to attend the wedding during a time when all contact between club officials and players is forbidden.

Under any circumstances, a friendly relationship between the man who signs the checks and the man who typically cashes the biggest ones involves navigating the slipperiest of slopes.

Good grief. Even a wedding can be dragged into labor-talk politics??

And compared to Arthur Blank wheeling Vick and his broken leg onto the field.

That was a beaut.

That is ridiculous. If my secretary was getting married locally instead of a destination wedding, I would fully expect to be invited (hell I still expect it)!

We have some dinosaurs at this office who don't think owners should be friends with staff on facebook etc (just to shut them up I defriended staff even though I think that was ********).

Jerry going to the wedding is only to be expected.

Go figure, huh, Sir? Crossed sabers no less, with Dress Blues.

 

[goshan]

They aren't that chummy
Both sides are just back scratching.

It's as if they sit around and brainstorm "Absolutely Ridiculous Stories" and then put Jerry Jones' name in the title for clicks.

Jerry has seen Romo grow from a young undrafted to a star in the league. He has invested a lot of time and money in tony. Jerry has been in tony's life for a very long time. This writer must be running out of ideas for articles....

 

[speedkilz88]

Spagnola mentioned this morning (talkin cowboys) that Jerry may have been joking about getting special permission, since the league has already stated that it was okay when it was not football related.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

Did I read that correctly. Is he saying Tony should have never invited Jerry or that Jerry should not attend?

Ridiculous.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

wow. What a stupid article by NFL.com

They're seriously bagging on Jerry for not hating Romo and attending his wedding?

Unreal.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

My reaction exactly.. this is getting a little ridiculous.

 

[jobberone]

I hate the offseason.

It's funny because the EPSN article on this very thing was bagging on Tony for letting Jerry come. :laugh2:

Figures. I guess they're going to have to take sides now as well? This is all so stupid.

 

[burmafrd]

I did not think it could get any dumber but the mediots always find a way.

 

[SDCowboy]

Figures. I guess they're going to have to take sides now as well? This is all so stupid.

It's odd because EPSN has suddenly become very pro-Romo while NFL has switched to the negative.

What... the hell was the point of that article?

What do the messy breakups with other QBs/teams have to do with Jerry/Romo? And does Carucci realize that Jerry has a solid relationship with just about all of his ex-star players?

If nearly any other starting QB on nearly any other team were to be getting married, they'd invite their team's owner to the wedding. Terrible premise to a pointless article.

 

[goshan]

the point of the article is to get people to talk about it and drive impressions to drive ad revenue. is it working?
