LOL did you ever hear the story of a mama from the 1960s telling her little boy about how someday men all over Americs would sit around their phones all day and everyday crying and complaining about their football team even when there are no games to play for several months? Hmmm...mama was a genius...I dare say...yesssssahhh!!
Haven't heard it, but sounds prophetic.

Some think it's all about a Super Bowl, and that's all that matters. Mortgage the team's future for just one season in which they get to do all of the interviews and reap all of the glory.
But if the Cowboys want to be the franchise that made the world fall in love with them, greatness is the goal.
But that is something this franchise apparently doesn't understand. From Jason Garrett saying "Be great today", to Dak Prescott promising to win Jerry a championship, all the way to the circus atmosphere and sales hype from Jerry's ringleader business model, it is clear that there is no one in the building that understands how or what greatness is.
It can't be spoken. It can't be bought. Fancy uniforms don't make a team great. A big stadium doesn't make a team great- although it helps. From the sounds of the interviews and the manner in which this franchise has been run for the past 20 years, it's clear they have no idea what "greatness" really is.
But that is what the Cowboys should be striving for.With greatness, Super Bowls are simply a by product.
But, here's the secret: Greatness can only be ACHIEVED, if they know how.
Coming in second is best, as long as you do it every year.

It does when you can't get out of the wild card round. It does when you look at the last 30 years of failure.
Would you agree that the only way this franchise will ever win another SB is Jerry backing off and giving full control to a competent GM? If so, the GM that pulls this franchise out of the gutter will be well prepared to at least have a run for a few years.

I've been asking for years, how the bar suddenly got lowered....it went from winning Super Bowls to appearances in a NFCCG as being the goal....appearance in a NFCCG....not even winning. Pathetic!!!

Doing it every year - that's the goal.
This circus that Jerry has been running and hyping every year, only to fold every time they play a real team, that's sad and sickening.

The bar is even lower than that for some fans. Stats and regular season records are all they hope for. Pathetic losers.........

i’m not sure Prescott promised Jerry a championship, I think what he promised was to do everything he could in his power to help win a championship.

Good grief dude. Super Bowl wins is the ONLY metric that teams are judged on.
that is because the nfl and media have brainwashed fans.
It isnt the superbowl, it is now the entertainment bowl and the money $$ bowl !
It runs 4 hours so they can air all the stupid ads that networks make a fortune off of.
They have a 30 minute halftime with some usually goofy musical act.

Both teams in the Superbowl are Champions, but then when one loses even by a last second fg they are laughed at and looked down upon.
It isnt what it should be.It has been distorted into a farce.

Greatness is passed down. Tex Sharam and Landry brought it to Dallas first. Jimmy Jonhson and even a young Jerry Jones brought it to Dallas in the 90's. We have no greatness at the top anymore to pass down. Thus the 30-year drought. In sports greatness starts at the top-not bottom. Usually, the Front Office and head coach.

It will make you happy to find out that our FO doesnt have the goal to win a SB.

Dak didn't do it, Jerry did. And the NFL as a whole.
Jerry finished me off by giving Dak that ludicrous extension to Dak. The NFL did it by scamming Americans, making them believe they were still a football league. Instead they are more like pro wrestling and pro boxing.
And I only stop by out of boredom. It's like talking about a car crash- just something to discuss.
Dak will go down as the worst failure in franchise history and the man who finished off "America's Team".
Thanks for reminding everyone that you're a traitor and a quitter!

Supposedly, that's what the G stands for on the Packers helmet.
