What's Wrong With The Cowboys Today?

[sojourner truth]

Well, I had stowed all my Cowboys paraphanellia and went to Texans gear...Oooops.

Guess I'll have to see if I can find my old Star Wars Tees in the attic.

I'm already sporting my Ellison Eagles hats instead of my Texas Rangers hats...If you have to wear sports headgear, it might as well be for a team you love, even if they ain't exactly "stellar".

Are you all that stupid? Jerry Jones is the owner, president, and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys. He paid $140 million for that. Your only options are to boycott the franchise or to buy him out. Get over it. He's the boss.

I fully understand that he owns the team, Ludwig. And I AM boycotting the franchise by not buying one piece of Cowboy "stuff." But I also think that fans can have a big effect on what happens through criticism and lighthearted mockery.

LOVE the firejerryjones website (yes, I know he can't be fired)....especially the Declaration of Independence. Funny!!!

My favorite (last two paragraphs):

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A general manager whose character is thus marked by every act which may define an idiot, is unfit to be the general manager of a storied franchise.

We, therefore, the Representatives of FIRE JERRY JONES, in GENERAL FANDOM assembled, appealing to the supreme owner of the Dallas Cowboys, do, in the name and by authority of the good people of Fire Jerry Jones, solemnly publish and declare that the Dallas Cowboys are and of right ought to be run by a general manager who is competent and skilled; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the old general manager and that all fan connection between them and the old general manager is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent social media members they have full power to levy social war on general manager Jerry Jones and to do all other acts and things which independent social media members may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of the Dallas Cowboys, we mutually pledge to each other our NFL lives, our NFL fortunes, and our sacred NFL honor.

IMO those kind of websites just makes Jones more of an idiot and ornery.
He knows it's his team, it's his stadium. Personally, I hope the Skins and Eagles clean their clocks the next two weeks. The Skins probably won't, but I don't see them beating the Eagles.
Maybe then this pompous buffoon will wake up and start to realize everything that is wrong. He has no problem building a $1B stadium (although he didn't pay for one dime of it - lol), gives $100M to a mediocre fool at QB and goes after washed up free agents by dangling big $$ that nobody else will pay.
You build through the draft, and he hasn't had a good one in years.

I like your description "pompous buffoon," Dave. Very appropriate.
