I really like what I'm reading here. But think Jerry's desire for media attention and the hope for big jersey sales cloud his thinking when it comes to "I like my guys".
There are more ex-players in sports media that did not play for the Cowboys than did play for the Cowboys. Those jobs have more to do with the person, not the team(s) they played for. That notion that playing for the Cowboys somehow is an advantage post playing career is a fantasy created by Cowboys fans. It’s ridiculous. There are increasingly more women in sports media than even just five years ago, not one ever played for the Dallas Cowboys. Every fanbase is convinced their favorite team is special compared to every other team in the league. If that’s what makes fans feel good and compels them to buy another logo key chain, there’s no harm in the fantasy.
I still cant believe that so many people think Jerry is so worried about money. His team is probably worth 14 BILLION DOLLARS. i think the Dolpins owner was offered 10 Billion and he turned it down.
wow.........how can one argue with that. More woman in sports broadcasting? I never noticed.
Dude is delirious. When I lived in the Bay Area I saw Dak Prescott on more TV ads than any 49er or Raider past or present. When I visit my family in Orlando it's the same. Of the four major networks broadcasting NFL football 2 of them have a former Cowboy as the #1 analyst. If I'm not mistaken Troy and Romo are the two highest paid analysts in the business. If you count non-studio guys Garrett is part of NBC's SNF team. Ex-Cowboys are everywhere all over the media. Marcus Spears, Chris Canty, Irvin, Moose, the list goes on and on and on. People wanting to act like it's not a thing are a mystery to me. As if denying reality will change it somehow.
Being a member of the Dallas Cowboys does not provide advantages playing for other teams does not provide. It’s why the Cowboys have to pay every bit as much as other teams to secure the services of top players every team has to pay. Players are not lining up to be Dallas Cowboys. For awhile you couldn’t turn your TV on and not have to watch the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns. It’s a
I always chuckle when people feel attacked and then try to attack back with the same words. Instead of being a bit more creative. Especially when you write and have so much more time to be creative in you insults/attacks.
It's a free country man.. You are free to believe whatever you want to believe. CBS broadcasts 5 or 6 games per week. FOX broadcasts a similar number. NBC broadcasts one a week sometimes two. ABC/ESPN broadcasts one a week. What percentage of these games will be broadcast by ex-Cowboys? 15 games a week. At least 4 will feature ex-Cowboys as the analyst. So at least 25% of the color analyst jobs belong to former Cowboys. But you right.. It's only in my mind.
All NBA contracts are fully guaranteed, don’t think the owners would ever agree to that.
Do you believe they’re hired because they’re ex-Cowboys players? Do you believe network executives meet and decide to hire commentators and analyst because they feel the success of their broadcasts depend on having ex-Cowboys players doing voice and color? If that were the case 100% of commentators and analysts at every network would be ex-Cowboys players. If a player wants to go into that line of work after his playing career he does not need “ex-Cowboys player” on his resume. Fans’ perception rarely is reality. Perhaps getting to a Super Bowl requires fewer future sports commentators and more dedicated football players.
But the statements not even true we're not setting the market it ebbs and flows from team to team when they have players come up anybody that's in the same realm of talent just like Justin Jefferson just set the damn market I mean how is it that that statement is true when other teams have just paid a bunch of people and they've been resetting the market A.J. Brown Smith you know with the Eagles they reset the market it just happens to be we're up next but then how about jamar chase and then Brandon iuke wants to get paid as well I mean we are not constantly setting the market before Ezekiel Elliott it was Todd Gurley and a couple other running backs making some big time money we did not set the market before that it was other teams and then our turn just rolled around I I don't get why people think we're constantly set in the market Prescott's contract right now is the 11th in the league so all these quarterbacks ahead of them that's been signed in the last three years those teams are setting the market now Prescott's coming due but that's not saying the Cowboys are setting the market they're just using right now because we have so many players coming up for contracts because we draft well and they're superstars and we either gotta pay them or trade them...
Micah will be the highest paid non QB ever not because he's a Cowboy, but because he racks up HUGE number of sacks (in Sept, Oct, and Nov that is...not so much after that). Still though, Jerruh will pay 5 % more than a competent GM would, because he's feeble minded and easily outwitted by agents and everyone. But still, regardless of GM he'd be the highest.
Love that hard-liner talk!
It’s not just Jerry Jones…it’s the same for all GMs.
I'm surprised there isn't more. If Emmitt could talk he would be included.
Well, the Dallas /Jones way hasn't worked for 30 years either. Under Jimmy, the way described did work. If your team was not going anywhere, trade away a few of your best assets to gain even more assets, via the draft.
I recall several years ago he did get a couple of shots at being a studio analyst several years ago, first with NFL Network, then with ESPN.
Have you been watching? Lots of free agents are resetting the market this off season and none of them play for the Cowboys. I know it may feel that way but the numbers don’t lie.
Was waiting for somebody to bring facts into this thread
