Spagnola: the truth behind Emmitt-less losses *MERGE*

I can see Micky reading old comments about the old Cowboy's pre-internet and then writing his column while eating a Whataburger while sitting poolside. Most of what he writes about is about as good as a day old Whataburger left by the poolside.

As it should be, jeri was the idiot playing hard ball with Emmitt causing him to miss the first 2 games. Jerry was too consumed with trying to fix the floundering finances of the organization during the first 4-5 years of ownership while Jimmy built the team; about the time he got that under control, Jeri's insatiable need for lime light and credit kicked in and the demise began.

The one thing jeri did that never gets mentioned that deserves mega kudos thrown his way is paying Herschal Walker a $million+ and house to get Walker to accept the trade (he had the right to veto in his contract). Given the financial pressure jeri was under at the time, this was a lot of money to have to pay to get rid of a player.

Other than that and hiring Jimmy, I give him zero credit and all the blame for screwing the entire thing up

I'll never give him credit as a good talent evaluator then or now.

Who is jeri?
Your post tells me all I need to know. Your opinion is based solely off of your dislike for jeri?
Nothing you stated means a thing.

"NFL’s No. 1 defense from 1992, with basically the same starting lineup, giving up 35 points, the No. 1 rushing defense from 1992 giving up 116 yards on 21 carries and two touchdowns to Washington running back Brian Mitchell. Fumbling the ball five times, losing four. The defense allowing the Commanders to drive after cutting their lead to 21-13 a robust 99 yards for the put-away touchdown. Yet, Lassic rushing for 75 yards on 16 carries was the reason they lost?"

Fans haven't changed. Even today they'd be blaming the offense for not scoring 36 rather than the defense for allowing 35.

They even blamed the offense once for not scoring 52

Can't handle the truth, oh boy here we go with these type of remarks.
The truth is that you don't know the truth, it it obvious you can't handle it actually.
Hate on!

Jeri is a hottie. She looked soooooo yummy in that tighty star trek suit.
 
It's amazing how Mickey types out these stories with Jerry's puppet hand up his butt.
 
Has anyone read this ridiculous Spagnola brown nosing Jerry Jones article:
https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/spagnola-the-truth-behind-emmitt-less-losses
The truth is with Emmitt Smith the Cowboys could use play action, feature the back out the back field, get single coverage on WR because a S had to be committed to stop Smith, and the Cowboys could use time of possession to control the game.

In 1993, the Cowboys lost those first 2 games because the did not and adjust to football without Emmitt Smith who was a critical part of the offense. Here is an old article regarding the Smith holdout and the Cowboys losing:

I hope we don't repeat failed strategies of the past.

The 4 page discussion about that article wasn't good enough for you? I mean its only 8 threads below this one on page one. Just kidding my friend I am sure you didn't see it. :p

Third or fourth thread about this topic. It amazes me how oblivious some CZ posters are regarding what gets discussed here.

But if you don't have the full context, doesn't that make you dumb in your response? :huh:
At any rate, I've already addressed your point. I don't operate as if I'm infallible. It's not a huge blow to my ego if I misspeak. It is for some people, though. Shrug.
