You know you are bound to draw fire,cuz' that comes with the territory,,, now I feel pretty bad about myself ,for possibly to have posted something hurtful,,,SHEESE,,,Thanks a pantload for that, football DAD!

It's pretty much what I would have expected. The man has his faults as a football guy, but as a father and a person, if you hate him, it's because you're trying to.

I don't care how he is as a person nor a father because that doesn't affect me, I just care how he is as a GM and owner.

Oh

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.

Wow, this encompasses all of my thoughts. The only thing I'd disagree with as that I don't give him credit for " standing firmly in the fire taking the heat" because taking the heat has to come with some consequences, which in Dallas there is none.

I appreciate it.

The consequences are the media and fan ridicule which Jerry would rather not have to shield. While it hasn’t altered his actions he does still feel the need to address them publicly and why I feel it’s important to keep the pressure on. Surely we don’t want it to go unchecked?

Bet you didn't know criticism bothers Jerry Jones. 'It hurts him,' his daughter says

Dallas Cowboys vice president Charlotte Jones Anderson said her father Jerry Jones is loyal to a fault. Criticism hurts him deeply but he always remains a resilient optimist, even behind closed doors.

It hasn't hurt him enough to consider that maybe, after 22 years, he is not the guy to build another championship team (and neither is his son).

His ego won't let him hire a GM and delegate responsibilities, even at age 75, so...

Trust me, people with money are human just like you and me. They have to live in the same world we do and if even if their life is easier by default it doesn't mean they don't go through things. Jerry is absolutely loyal to a fault and he's a frustrating owner at times but I don't think he deserves the criticism as a person.

Just a fun little story, one of my buddies that goes to Clemson has a roommate who is a big Commanders fan and he told me he was at a football camp a few years back (I think he played in HS and works with Clemson's football team in a sideline capacity) and said he met Jerry Jones and was shocked with how nice and genuine of a guy he was. I know sports are important to us and all, but at the end of the day...

So true.....I can't relate though. I'd love to be hurt and then look out my window, with smoking jacket on and coffee cup in hand......and look over the estate.....I think I'd begin to smile.
