Well, he asked if something would get him banned and then posted it after he was told yes.

You all just witnessed the drama of martyrdom for the sake of some high fives and back pats.

Hope you enjoyed the show. This stuff is free ya know. Just another perk at Window Lickers and Mouth Breathers.

What up, fuzzhead!!

Getting over the flu and a head cold simultaneously. Chills, fever, body aches AND not being able to breathe is FUN.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Oh, this reminds me.

Of the little bit of reading the idiotic crap on this board, you absolutely take the cake.

Having you say that actually makes me feel better about myself. It beats you agreeing with me by a longshot.

Can he still read?

I think he should be allowed to speak his mind because it's theraputic for the guy to realize that his tilting at windmills (if he knows what that means) is good for him.





Call it "an education"...if you will.

We salute you ole Martyr of the intertubes
To the man who will show the world your courage of the keyboard
To champion that little man that is beat down on the dreaded cyber
battlefield of the sports message boards to show them you are not
afraid to be banned, to thumb your nose at their source code.

To return home to triumphant victory and revel in front
of your warrior tribe, hit a cap button and emoticon and proudly
proclaim...I showed those blankers what was up
I showed them what a true cyber gangsta means
How you flashed your electronic patriotism and gang signs by
giving them internet 01101000011001010110110001101100
Oh you binary bad arse, you keyboard kamikaze, you vigilante of the vbull.

The world wide web nearly broke in half during your stunning display of
pwnage. Yes your thread delivered and there was only epic fail by your enemies of electronic frontier...yes their bases truly belong to you now.

So crack open a cold one ole digital deity and know that before being banned
you rained down bolts of binary badness on those users.

Mr, I planned to be banned from your moronic board and that does not make me moronic for doing it, man.

[ravidubey]

I have been told that you post mostly at DCC nowadays and have ripped me over there. If you haven't then I apologize for thinking otherwise.

Ripped? No. I'll PM you directly about specifics. It's not my style to rip posters personally. Like anyone, I just might not agree with what they post.

I'm going to disagree with you a bit. I think Tex was handicapped by Bum Bright who did not want to spend the money it took to do proper research and the team paid for it.

Bum definitely undermined the scouting department, but it's clear that later in Schramm's career he became more of a showman and promoter.

One example might be comments after "Marshall" Irvin was drafted was that he should "accelerate our return to the living". Schramm was being funny and glib, but it underscores his need to work the audience a bit.

I disagree with you again. Tex did not stay out of the limelight. In fact many criticized him for being more powerful than Rozelle.

... and wouldn't you agree such criticism was warranted? Lamar Hunt was equally innovative, many would say even more so, but his style was far less flashy, especially after the league's merged.

Hunt would never draw empty headlines to his team like "Cowboys Interested in Carl Lewis" after the 1984 Olympics like Schramm did. Schramm was only half-joking. It's stuff like that which creates a circus sideshow that overshadows the product on the field, and a team can take only so much of that.

He pulls Wade's strings?

Not as a defensive playcaller, but certainly from a hiring standpoint.

So, he's going to step aside and hire a competent GM, or another puppet?

That remains to be seen. A guy is a puppet if he's GM in name only and Jerry's calling the shots. A "real" GM has the contractual authority to be the final decision-maker and bases those decisions on his football acumen and desire to field the best product possible, both in the short and longterm. Marketing and a perpetual win-now philosophy often conflict with his goals.

See, that's where so much of this argument loses me. Whomever this GM is that he hires, the real football man, is going to exorcise him and his albatross from the building.

No, but it would allow Jerry to focus on what he does best, which is marketing the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys. If the GM sucks, then Jerry fires him for the right reasons and hires a new guy. Accountability starts at the top. Right now it's a hollow term at Valley Ranch.

Unfortunately we are stuck with him.

This we can agree on. Whether we take it lying down or not is what I think this thread is about.

$10,000 and a billboard and website to announce fan displeasure is going to land one of those caliber guys?

No, but it would help raise awareness in casual fans and bring attention to others who don't see the inadvertent damage Jerry causes in his role as GM.

Mostly it would be a way to express our feelings, like we do on this website everyday, yet in a way that we know would reach Jerry Jones' eyes once and for all. Nothing is more frustrating than to voice anger at a blank wall.

I've already been warned that he plans to get himself banned here today. What purpose does that serve?

It's possible he might be looking for cred elsewhere by saying that.

I think this is stupid, but the thread's still here.

Why is it that it should be a question?

Bet me I wouldn't get the same respect over there. Naw, save your money, don't bet me.

Maybe at first, but ultimately it comes down to the content of your posts. It's an anti-homer slant over there mainly because of the mass of blind homers who typically post on fan boards.

There's always a fine line between being a homer and respecting reality (lower case).

 

[Hostile]

Thank you for the PM.

Bum definitely undermined the scouting department, but it's clear that later in Schramm's career he became more of a showman and promoter.

One example might be comments after "Marshall" Irvin was drafted was that he should "accelerate our return to the living". Schramm was being funny and glib, but it underscores his need to work the audience a bit.

I'm drawing a blank on the "Marshall" Irvin reference.

Every GM and HC I have ever known tries to put a positive spin on every move. Tex is no different.

... and wouldn't you agree such criticism was warranted? Lamar Hunt was equally innovative, many would say even more so, but his style was far less flashy, especially after the league's merged.

Hunt would never draw empty headlines to his team like "Cowboys Interested in Carl Lewis" after the 1984 Olympics like Schramm did. Schramm was only half-joking. It's stuff like that which creates a circus sideshow that overshadows the product on the field, and a team can take only so much of that.

I'd like to state for the record that there is nothing wrong with criticism. I'm just saying that Schramm was not in the background making football moves, listening to no one and being a genius.

Football, from the top down is a team game. Is Jerry doing nothing or is he trying with everything he has plus some money invested to make the team better?

You can listen to all the Iamtdg's in the world say that we will not win for another 15 years and have 30 years of losing if you wish. I prefer to look at the efforts being given and not make wild assinine predictions based on bitterness over the last 13 years. I'm funny that way.

Not as a defensive playcaller, but certainly from a hiring standpoint.

I simply don't agree with this as a concern.

That remains to be seen. A guy is a puppet if he's GM in name only and Jerry's calling the shots. A "real" GM has the contractual authority to be the final decision-maker and bases those decisions on his football acumen and desire to field the best product possible, both in the short and longterm. Marketing and a perpetual win-now philosophy often conflict with his goals.

But based on the evidence that is Jerry Jones track record, which do you expect to get?

No, but it would allow Jerry to focus on what he does best, which is marketing the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys. If the GM sucks, then Jerry fires him for the right reasons and hires a new guy. Accountability starts at the top. Right now it's a hollow term at Valley Ranch.

I believe the GM is already accountable. Yes, to himself only as far as the team goes, but he still is accountable to the fans.

This we can agree on. Whether we take it lying down or not is what I think this thread is about.

I'm not lying down. I don't consider a billboard that begs for graffiti to be standing up. I don't believe polls asking for dissenting voices are smart advertising. What can I tell you? I think this is a dumb idea.

No, but it would help raise awareness in casual fans and bring attention to others who don't see the inadvertent damage Jerry causes in his role as GM.

Mostly it would be a way to express our feelings, like we do on this website everyday, yet in a way that we know would reach Jerry Jones' eyes once and for all. Nothing is more frustrating than to voice anger at a blank wall.

I simply don't think it would. I think it will get ridiculed worse by people who are not message board fans and fans of other teams as well. Just what we need, more ridicule.

It's possible he might be looking for cred elsewhere by saying that.

That's exactly what he is looking for. He point blank asked me via PMs if calling someone an idiot is against the rules and I told him yes. So what did he do? Called everyone who disagrees with him an idiot. That's nothign but drama queen BS and you know it.

Why is it that it should be a question?

Because contrary to opinions expressed on other forums we do not silence voices here as long as the posts are within the Guidelines. It's a real easy concept. We've allowed other stupid ideas to linger too. I don't always like it but I would rather we be tolerant than self absorbed.

Maybe at first, but ultimately it comes down to the content of your posts. It's an anti-homer slant over there mainly because of the mass of blind homers who typically post on fan boards.

There's always a fine line between being a homer and respecting reality (lower case).

You have no idea of the History I have with two of the guys over there if you say this. You can believe it is all about their "non-homerness" if you wish, but that's a sales pitch. Period.

The point is for him to step completely away from football operations. The goal is for him to hire a General Manager that he isn't controlling like a puppet. Of course, this is against his nature. That is why more pressure, more bad press and more awareness must be made about what he is doing to this franchise. Jerry would have never tolerated a GM with a track record as bad as his, why should we accept that from him.

You mentioned somewhere else that Jerry is accountable to the fans, funny thing is that I don't believe that he is. He does what he wants with his toy, and has completely ran this franchise into the ground, in terms of the product that is on the field.
