Twitter: The Jones family has been on vacation this week during FA *confirmed*

[birdwells1]

Having different standards isn't a lack of standards. It's odd to me that our disagreeing over whether or not they can conduct business from the Bahamas means I don't want them to win games.

That's like telling your son that's its ok to play video games while he does his homework, it maybe possible but it's not the best way to do it. Especially if that kids has failing grades in his classes, in that case he needs to be at the dining room table where there are no distractions.

 

[birdwells1]

Oh please, Brady called Kraft "his second father"

Belichick doesn't.

 

[BlindFaith]

Belichick doesn't.

Who cares?

Once again, I'm sure there are all kinds of players that have close, personal relationships with coaches, GMs, owners.

 

[birdwells1]

why? There was a whole group of guys that hung out all the time. Witten and Romo were close with Garrett and the jones family. Romo is close with stephens son.

and if you guys think this meant anything understand Garrett benched Romo for Dak during the season. So it meant nothing.

And you don't see anything wrong with this, when is it good business when the front office personnel is buddy buddy with the people that they have to make decisions on. Hell Belichick was thinking about moving on from brady.

No, it's nothing like that.

It's like telling your kid it's OK to do his homework outside instead of locked up in his room.

Seems like a false equivalence. Homework and video games both require activity. Sitting on a beach is pretty passive. Not sure why being in the Bahamas means he's not able to talk to his personnel guys.

umm. during this next season they moved on from romo in the middle of the season and it was garrett and jerry who made that decision before the pittsburgh game.

So how did this picture and this event stop them from doing what are you saying they hypothetically would not do?

It's because he's obviously drunk. So I've been told.

No it's not, if the GM wasn't the owner then the owner would demand that he be present when the first week of free agency. Jerry's the one with the tag of General Manager and he wants everyone to know, this is partly why he's not respected for his football knowledge. He doesn't like the grind, he likes all the flashy things, being in front of the camera, calling the first round draft picks, doing interviews. This is where GMs make their money and save their jobs, problem is that this GM has lots of money and job security until he says he's done.

Is Witten still on the team and Jerry didn't want Romo demoted, he wanted him to regain his starters position when he got back. A decision I agreed with.

Do you have a military background? I only ask because fraternization is a big deal in the military. Outside of the military I haven't seen it stressed as much.

You think Witten is on the team because he went to a family event with the owner?

Do you think this is little league?

Any GM that's not prepared this time of year is a bad GM. If they're surprised by who's available and what they want, they failed long before free agency started.

Let me ask- what advantage does he gain by being at the Star?

The coaching and playbook are just about little league.

 

[Rayman70]

Buddy, 90% of this board was not a supporter of Jerry and Jason at this point last year

Were people hopeful that we might be a reasonably good team? Sure

When cowboys sign/ draft some players I'll talk about them and hope they do well and when the season starts I'll still watch the games hoping by some miracle the team is able to overcome the idiocy of Jerry and Garrett but ....

That is not the same thing as thinking they're doing a great job

be honest man. C'mon. It ok to like Jerrah from time to time.

 

[Pants]

the jones family wouldn't make moves if they were in dallas or on the moon, so they might as well have a little "down" time...the camera sheds time so Jones has to get all refreshed before getting back in front of the media before he hosts the draft

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Man this is a slap in the face to the fans. Why should we care? They aren’t taking it serious

This season has 8-8 written all over it.
I would feel sadness, but here is the anger thing: the fan lives and breathes Cowboys. The Jones family lives and breathes money. 8-8? No big deal. The family still makes money.
I am almost to the point of chucking it all in.

 

[Rayman70]

Visionary..I agree with you on here almost 99% of the time..but I guess we see things differently on this one,and that's ok. No biggie.

Jerry has to shed is lizard skin lol...

He's molting lol
