Rusty I understand how you feel. I’m only a remaining fan because of the past and my hope for the future. I completely understand the fans who have had it.
Sadly, the Cowboys are run by a very rich, greedy, insecure and arrogant man who cares more about his personal ego than his team’s on field success. If Jerry truly loved this team and wanted them to win he would have stepped aside. It is truly that simple. Three decades of evidence is overwhelming
I mean, I'm definitely getting close to having had it. I do have a 2.0 costume being paid for. The stars on my suit are for the Cowboys. I paid a lot of money for this suit, and the next one is going to be expensive. I'm strongly leaning to having the stars on the next suit being circles or some other shape. The Cowboys are a heavy part of my suit because they've been a huge part of my life as a fan. Yet, I've never gotten anything out of it. I have accepted that I'll never win with the Cowboys. I just want to feel like it matter at all.
And you know what really pushed me to feeling this angry? 3 things. One. Stephen's comments that Jerry was laughing and nodding to during the training camp press conference where they were asked about fan apathy. To which, Stephen (partly why I wrote this thread) responded "we've never sold so many season tickets." That told me everything I needed to know and confirmed what I suspected. The FO doesn't care. As long as they make money, who cares?
Secondly, the fact they dragged out the Lamb and Dak contracts and the lack of offseason activities when signing them were the obvious moves. It was obvious they were dragging it out to get as much media attention and as much media money as possible out of it. If we were run by say, Howie Roseman and the Eagles organisation, those two and Parsons get extended, and they find a way to address glaring weaknesses that I was screaming about all offseason. RB and NT. Derrick Henry wanted to come here. Jerry never called him. It told me it's all about the clicks and media and not winning. Again, Jerry doesn't care. Honestly, I'm not sure Jerry even likes the Cowboys. He just uses us to get rich.
3. His interview with Stephen A Smith. For as much as Stephen A Smith talks about his much he hates our fan base, you'd think he'd want nothing to do with Jerry Jones. Yet, they're pals, and they got to laugh it up a week or two ago. Again, makes me wonder if Jerry secretly hates the Cowboys. He just likes that we make him money. He doesn't actually like us. I know Stephen A is a heel. I know he knows that the more he talks about how much he "hates" us, the more he gets paid. Yet, the interview between the two of them spoke volumes to me. Jerry hates us. He thinks we're stupid.
I may make a thread about this at a later time when I have more energy (especially as I'm still not well). But that's why I'm where I am with this team. I never thought I'd be here, but I'm just, miserable with this team ATM.
