Texas Monthly Names Jerry the Bum Steer of the Year

[fivetwos]

That's the thing, people read Texas Monthly. Maybe just Texans, but it's a widely viewed publication here. This one is going to sting the old man a bit. Not enough for change of course, but enough to be a grazing blow to the nads.

Good. Maybe he will do the job he gave himself and at least try to make the team better.

Part of the problem is his idiot kid constantly claiming there’s no cap room….and of course not knowing any players in the league that he didn’t draft….and thinking that Prescott can win games himself because he is paid so much….and the other two dozen or so items.

Yep, narcissists love the attention.

The negative part doesn’t matter because they know its wrong because they are better than everyone else.

Sad, and very true.

Narcissists love complimentary attention directed at them. Not negative attention. It grates on their nerves whenever non-flattering info is thrown their way. Anyone has and can witness Jerry Jones past reactions to critical commentary aimed at him in interview videos, etc.

Observers should understand that narcissists differentiate between themselves and things connected with them. Jones LOVES negative and positive attention made of the overall team or specific coaches and players. He can sell that. He loves that gray side of notoriety.

That said, articles like these (bless them) should be considered in retrospect to their impact on Jones. It is a mosquito bite. He will uncomfortably shrug it off in time--probably sooner than later.

That is why media outlets like Texas Monthly should rightfully continue their criticism of his management of the team. Individual mosquito bites are simply a nuisance. A swarm of biting mosquitos is a pain in the <expletive>. THAT approach is how to make narcissists feel any real discomfort.

What happened?

Before being featured in their Texas Top50… line some days, but consistent and never more than a 30 min wait on weekends.

After being featured … line every day and forget about a quick weekend lunch where the line wraps around the building.

I’m guessing Cattleack BBQ in North Dallas?

The bum steer is "all in" vs doing nothing.

 

[DallasEast]

Why limit him to just steers? He is a bum in the universal sense.

He should be up for a monthly Donkey of the Month award.

On second thought, change that to weekly.

 

[DallasEast]

I'm so proud of our owner/GM for getting such a gracious award!!

Jerry and his inner circle live on a vacuum......God only knows how much of this outside stuff they hear

I remember in an interview 2 or 3 years ago Jerry mentioned that he has someone make him daily highlights and soundbites of every Cowboys segment of cable tv. Every day.

Texas Monthly is a big news outlet. He will for sure read this scathing article. The writer probably already reached out to him prior to publishing anyway.

 

[DallasEast]

Not steer, the other name for donkey.

 

[DallasEast]

Good. Maybe he will do the job he gave himself and at least try to make the team better.

He has tried to do just that. His overly extended GM track record speaks for itself.

I can work with that. Point being either way…it’ll have no impact on much of anything. He will view the author as being much less of a human being than he is, so that opinion doesn’t matter.

It won’t be forcing change to his proven method of success.

Thats a downer.

I was at least expecting "Bum of the Decade".

That surprises me......most sane people would take that 3rd party prospective to heart and stop doing the same thing since 1995 and expect a different result

Jerry admitted in that Stephen A Smith interview that he hears the criticism and it does bother him.

Actually Hutchins… the kicker was the McKinney location was featured in the article, but the Frisco location’s address was listed… so the Frisco location got swamped.

Frisco location also has remnants of Randy White’s restaurant still around with the advertisements for the restaurant still on the tables.

 

[reddyuta]

a bum steer and a bum family taking all stupid cowboys fan for a ride,as long as you buy tickets and buy merchandise the Jones will continue to do the bare minimum and milk all your money.

 

[cristglo]

he will buy the mag, and fire everyone !!

He will get PO then try to convince everyone that He is doing a good Job. lol DELUSIONAL lol

 

[Big_D]

Bum Steer is being way too kind.

 

[ArtClink]

Maybe your, not mine.

Just citing facts the past three decades. It’s your decision to ignore facts.

Jerry can mention SB as soon as we finally win a div playoff game which is not happening under the Jones ownership era.

How good is the blue koolaid?
