Who was the g-e-n-i-u-s that thought it was a GOOD idea to place a POLL on a website meant to publicly HUMILIATE Jerry Jones? Doesn't it defeat the purpose of attracting supporters if your website demonstrates that there are DISSENTERS to the cause who are willing to say so right there ON the website???

BRILLIANT!!!

WAIT A COTTON-PICKIN' MINUTE!

I'm not even really sure what you are talking about, but let me take a stab at it.

I have only posted this website at Cowboys msg boards.

Apparently, think that Jerry Jones has done a fine job as our GM. I mean 13 years without a playoff win ain't so bad, right?

Hell, we only have to wait another 13 and we'll be the absolute worst team in the league.

But, we can wait. Sit back and keep buying all that you can, and "hope" that it gets better.

Have fun with that.

On February 25, 1989 this team was sold into slavery. Jerry Jones began his era as the owner of the Dallas Cowboys with an almost foreshadowing of moves. He immediately fired the legend of a coach in Tom Landry. This move caused great discontent among a lot of fans of the team. Most believed that Landry was on his way out and that the league had passed him by, but also thought that his departure from this team could have happened in a much more appropriate way. This began what has become a fan’s nightmare of an era. The organization is caught in a stranglehold, and is not soon to be released.
I won’t go into any great detail about season to season guffaws, or bumbled moves on Jerry’s part. If you’re reading this, you already know the grim particulars and shouldn’t have to read about them again. I know I’ve tried to forget them myself. What I do want share are some very interesting facts.

No playoff wins in 13 years. (We are one of only 3 NFL teams to do this. Yes, the Oakland Raiders have won a playoff game since we have)
Without Jimmy Johnson, we would be staring at 30 years since a Super Bowl win.
A record of 163-147 in the 20 years he has been GM. Now let’s look at the bigger picture. Jerry got lucky with Jimmy. He got desperate when he hired Parcells. After the 3 super bowls in the 90’s, Jerry really had to dig deep to allow someone else to coach the team. His record outside of those two desperate/lucky hires? 58-70. That record truly reflects what it’s like for Jerry to run our team without a true football mind involved.

Pathetic, you say? Embarrassing? Well, you have but one person to point a finger at in blame. That’s your general manager and owner. He has single handedly brought this storied franchise to it’s knees. His relentless pursuit of credit for the success of this team, and his refusal to relinquish control and hand it over to a real football mind, has handcuffed the entire organization. In his mind, he is bigger than the organization itself. This mindset has brought you what you have today.
I call for you to do two things. First, boycott. Don’t buy anything Cowboys related. No tickets, jerseys, hats, beer mugs, pennants, etc. The only way a fan can affect the team it supports, is to stop supporting it financially. Not another dime, Jerry. Band together with me and thousands of other fans, and say no more to Jerry Jones as the general manager of this team.
Secondly, join me in taking the money I would have spent on Cowboys “stuff” and put it towards something that will voice how fed up as a fanbase we are. We will be gathering funds to put up a billboard in Irving, as close to Valley Ranch as we can get it. I’ve already been in contact with a dozen or more advertising agencies in the metroplex area, and have discovered that with just 1,000 fans contributing 10 bucks, we can hang one for a month. 10 bucks a month, and we can leave it up until, as a group, we decide to take it down, or start using the money to put more billboards. You may be thinking, “Jerry isn’t going to give a damn about some stupid billboard”. In this, you’re probably right. But, what it will do is openly embarrass Jerry publicly. It will bring to light the true number of Cowboy fans that have finally had their fill of Jerral Wayne Jones. By myself, I stand no chance. With your help, and dedication to this, we stand to point tremendous negative attention to what this man has done to our team. This must be done. We have no other choice unless we just sit back and take it, and I don’t think any of us want to do that.

Go to www.cowboysfanrebellion.com and let your voice be heard.

Join me, brothers. The time is now.

Did you read the WHOLE reply? If so, why the heck are you throwing attitude at me? I'm not the webmaster! :laugh2:

Hey. If the webmaster(s) are willing to **** up their own internet presentation, it's no sweat off my nose.

You don't seem to get it. Are you the webmaster?

man you beat me to it I was thinking the same thing

 

[CowlyFanby]

Does the OP really think he can pressure a team owner? This isn't college where boosters can put pressure on the AD. Good luck w/ that...

I didn't post this article on here to start any sort of arguments. I started on this board because of the sheer number of members here. I'm pimping this in many different places. If you don't want to back this cause, then don't. I, personally, feel like this is something that needs to happen. I'm fed up, and I know there are tons of others that are just as fed up as I am.

It has to start somewhere.

It always entertains me when I hear of people who think that a "rebellion" or a "boycott" or some petition-drive is gonna' change anything.

Owning an NFL team is not an elected office. It's a dictatorship. Be it a benevolent dictator, or a tyrant, doesn't make a difference.

There's no "uprising" or "revolt" or "revolution" built into the system to create "anarchy" and "upset the regime". This is NOT a democracy. Popular vote doesn't rule. If it did, the Bidwell's and the Al Davis' of the world would've been gone long ago.

If you follow the Dallas Cowboys, the first order of business, if you want to remain sane and free of ulcers, is to understand that YOU HAVE ZERO (as in NONE, NADDA, ZILCH) SAY in the date that Jerry brings to the prom.

Take T.O..............Nobody, and I mean NOBODY likes T.O. I myself can't stand the guy, ala the Niners and the Beagles. But Jerry went after him and got him. Little 'ole me, being a Cowboy die-hard, had nothing to say about it. So guess what??? Now, I'm a T.O. guy, because I HAVE to be. I have NO SAY in the matter.

That's life in the world of NFL "fandom". Don't like it? Then follow another deal where you actually have a vote that matters. Follow politics. Join the Rotary. 'Till then, it's Jerry's show, for better or worse.

People go to work every day to jobs they hate and boss's they can't stand. But there ain't squat they can do about it, so they just labor on and put up with it. Like it or not, you're gonna' PUT UP with Jerry until he's damn good and ready to either relinquish his GM position or sell the team.

Put up all the BillBoards you want. Organize a "revolt". Have airplanes fly banners. March on Valley Ranch. Won't make a difference. We're stuck with this deal. The only option is to quit on Dallas and start buying Steeler or Cardinal gear............

Get over it................................................

Jerry Jones just spent tons of money on his new stadium. He also will be spending tons more with an uncapped year coming. This is absolutely the best time for fans to hit him with a boycott.

The time is now.

 

[Hostile]

I can't help my curiosity.

Please post the name of the person who can be hired as the GM that will suddenly guarantee winning. I have to tell you that in all my years of football study I have never heard of that magical name. Please tell me the football equivalent of King Midas.

I can't wait to hear the name of whomever it is that by virtue of his having an office with the word General Manager on his door makes the coaches coach ebtter and the players play better.

Yes sir, that is information I am looking forward to because that's a man I want to admire and I somehow missed him in my studies. The time is now to correct this.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I would like to be the treasurer, sir.

This is the dumbest idea I have ever heard of, seriously.

I have a news flash for everybody: Jerry bankrolled 3 SuperBowl titles with his own money. The team won 2 SBs in the previous 30 years, so how exactly is Jerry worse than the previous management under Tex Shram and Tom Landry.

If we are judging success off the # of Lombardis, then from 1960-1988 (almost 30 seasons), Tex Shram and Tom Landry won 2 SB titles. Jerry Jones has owned the team from 1989-present (20 years) and has won 3 SB titles as the GM and with two different coaches. Lets recap, shall we:

1960-1988.....2 SB wins under Tex Shram and Landry

1989-present...3 SB wins under GM Jerry Jones.


More math......29 season for 2 SB titles before Jerry.....14.5 years per Lombardi.

20 seasons with GM Jerry and 3 SB titles.....6.67 years per Lombardi.


BOTTOM LINE......WE HAVE WON LOMBARDIS AT TWICE THE RATE UNDER GM JERRY THAN UNDER GM TEX SHRAM.


SORRY, NUMBERS DONT LIE AND NUMBERS DONT HAVE AGENDAS. SO I THINK I WILL STICK WITH JERRY FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER MYSELF.

 

[silverbear]

I am stopping.

I've been buying merchandise for this team the entire time he has been the GM of it.

Not anymore.

I heart Jerry...

I don't heart you...

I can see the futility of many movements to boycott, oppose, revolt.

I just don't see the resignation you propose. The towel thrown in.
You probably give up easily, huh?
Well, many Cowboy fans do not!
(cue in "Battle Hymn of the Republic")
Heck no.

Yes, it would have been easy to shrug it away when they changed our Coca-Cola. And then they took the 8-track away.
It didn't bother me when they took my right away to bear arms in downtown Dallas. And even during the lowest of the low times, like the time that Jackie started dating Krushchev, even then I would not give up. Throw in the towel.

No, sir, our right to boycott, rebel, revolt, demote or evoke is ours.
Ours as guaranteed by the deeds of heroes before us. We don't give up easily.
When the shopkeepers of the middle colonies resisted agin the british tariffs, it was a failed boycott. When Sherman marched across Montana and then tried to starve the grape growers them farmers boycotted Sherman.
And so it goes.

No, our right to boycott or protest is written in stone.
Guaranteed by Washington, Lincoln, Filmore, Roosevelt and Obama.
And don't yew forget it, buster!
