Oh
Listen, if you could just be nicer while my Dad destroys what's left of this team that would be great.
I said from Day 1 on 2-25-1989 we could only tolerate an owner like Jerry if he produced a winner. And Jerry understood that initially making decisions which produced the biggest winner we ever had.
But with that enormous success Jerry didn’t receive the credit he was pursuing which has derailed our football operations ever since. As a result Jerry receives credit for the early success and blame for the lack of success since.
Despite my bitterness for his selfishness and ego to prove he’s a football guy playing out his fantasies with our beloved franchise , I’ve always admired him for standing firmly in the fire taking the heat.
He took Tex Schramms advice to heart when he was advised to maintain the popularity and revenue a consistent winner on the field was necessary. Jerry took matters into his own hands by circumventing the need for that level of success on the field to remain profitable with his revolutionary streams of revenue he implemented to the Cowboys and the league which not only benefited him, the Cowboys but the entire league that ultimately earned him an induction into the HOF as a contributor.
I’ve always believed Jerry set these mechanisms in motion so he could continue playing out his fantasies without the consequences and accountability that used to be associated with less success on the field. And it appears he has succeeded which I expect to continue until his last breathe or is strapped to a bed.
So, these criticisms are due and expected for playing out his egotistical ambitions he’s had since he attempted to buy the Chargers. Jerry promised he’d do everything to win but he failed to mention his promise only included with him running operations. Or at least we didn’t understand as such.
Im not really interested in his personal behavior off the field as long as it’s not criminal anymore than I am a HC or player. Only their production and contribution to the success of the team. No doubt it’s a nice compliment if they’re good guys off the field but who cares if they can’t win.
All of these contributions Jerry has made would be more meaningful and he’d be much more beloved if not for his direct involvement and insistence to be GM. No sympathy from me . As momma said early on in my life. You made your bed, now sleep in it.
