Video: Skip Bayless: Cowboys Fans deserve better than Jerry Jones

[JustAGuy]

Yeah we deserve better than a guy who has brought in more than half of our superbowl rings.

My only problem with Jerry, is his ability to find a pretty decent coach as of late.

I wouldn't trade him for the World though, next owner might come in, and is not willing to spend, like Jerry is. Jerry will always do whatever is necessary to win, like taking a leap of faith on a guy like Dez, and we hit on a top 2-5 WR .

How many decades does Jerry get a pass because of what he did in ancient times? Give me a number on that please.

Fans don't deserve anything because the Cowboys organization doesn't owe the fans anything. Similarly, fans don't owe the Cowboys organization anything. This is a free market. You can leave whenever you want and seek out a better product.

Now, whether or not Jerry has mismanaged the Cowboys over the past decade or so is a different issue--and a valid one--but it has nothing to do with fans being owed anything.

Without him, we probably don't have those stacked teams, probably not considered Americas Team, and probably looked at as chumps in the NFC East, trophy wise.

I can't agree with this at all. If there are no fans to watch the games and buy the stuff then there is no NFL period. They do owe us because we make it all possible for grown men to play a game for a living that makes them rich and famous rather than work a crummy job.

Just give me a number. How many decades does he get a pass?

BTW, they were "America's Team" long, long before Jones appeared on the scene.

They don't owe you anything because you can take your business elsewhere. You're not obligated to watch them.

You tell me how the NFL makes any money without the fans to watch it. Can you do that? Zero fans to watch on TV to generate ad buys, zero fans at the stadium to buy tickets and merchandise. I'm all ears for your explanation.

They can't, but it doesn't mean they owe you anything. It's like saying Irish Spring owes you because you buy their soap.

Look, Jerry has a done crap job over the decade. We all acknowledge that, but he doesn't owe you anything.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Of course the Cowboys owe their fans. You pay X amount of money for what they are selling. Anytime you sell a product you owe your customer. Period!

stephen a smith is seriously one of the most annoying people I've ever seen.

7 decades....then complain in your grave

Jerry inherited the "America's Team" moniker when he bought the club; we were America's Team long before Jerry Jones. But he's certainly doing his best to give it away.

I've heard this nonsense for 15 years. Jerry will do whatever it takes to win ... including horrible drafts, pizz poor talent evaluation, extraordinary cap mismanagement, failure after failure after failure.

ONE ****** playoff win in 17 years. Pathetic.

 

[BigStar]

Shut up punk...stop trying to play our fan base...we know full well WHY we hate him. Gasoline holdin mofo! I like how he holds his sports positions as if they were important, like politically/globally etc. Sports dude...you talk about sports.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Skip is correct... We deserve much better than a drunken Jerry Jones

 

[CowboyStar88]

You don't have to buy the product if you don't like it. He doesn't owe us anything. When you buy the NFL ticket you buy it for all 32 teams. So the NFL is putting a good product on the field. You buy jerseys and shirts right? They are top quality stylish etc... Right? You are paying for a good product. Whatever the football team does in the field is not owed to us we can stop watching anytime we want.

I have and he creates controversy, whether it is true or conceived like the Aikman is Gay rumor or the accusation by John Blake that Aikman was racist. He points out a lot of what if scenarios and creates the argument that the Boys of the 90's dynasty was luck. He did the same in "Gods Coach", I don't think he came across as very flattering to Coach Landry. A lot of conspiracy theories in his books.

He knows his target audience.

The dude knows how to work cowboys fans into a frenzy.

 

[DWhite Fan]

Skip Brainless is scum...he and ESPN are perfect for each other...

 

[Super_Kazuya]

What bothers me is the implication that the Cowboys fans are magical fans, that they deserve better because their great grandfather caught a ball that bounced off Don Meredith's helmet. There's nothing special about Cowboys fans and the Cowboys don't owe you anything. Go root for another team, it's easier than ever to follow any team you want in the year 2013.

Bills fans haven't even had a .500 season (the same record that Cowboys fans complain about like it's 0-16) in nearly a decade. I never hear anybody say Bills, Jaguars, Rams, etc. fans deserve better.

 

[Hoofbite]

It's hard to argue with what Skip says.

I think Jerry is content with being a "show". Would Jerry rather the team win? Of course, but a whole bunch of money and all the attention in the world is a hell of a consolation prize.
