Dallas Cowboys 2024 Season Thread -- Jerrah the Asshat Rides Again

[RPM 26267]

The only thing about this that is enjoyable is knowing it's tearing Jerrah's guts out to be paying this much for players that quit on him.

Yeah yeah yeah I heard the same thing about the Lakers and Yankees. Didn't take those nepo dipshits very long to tap out and give GM duties to somebody else. They don't give a fuck about running a sports franchise. They just want all the money and glamour that comes with it.

Agree with this. Stephen will give up the reigns in some capacity - it takes a special sociopathic/egomaniacal mentality to act the way Jerry does.

[mdmost 42950]

Stephen isn't Jerry seeking glory as a football man. The entire reason we still have to deal with Jerry Jones is because people said the success in the 90s was all due to Jimmy. So Jerry's been chasing being a football man to prove everyone wrong for almost 30 years. I think Stephen will not be able to withstand the criticism that Jerry is getting. As soon as Jerry kicks the bucket, Stephen will hire a GM. He'll probably want to keep managing the salary cap but he knows people won't stand for him trying to replicate Jerry. At some point, people will revolt once the head of the organization is gone. 

And we all understand this is misdirection by Jerry. Get angry at radio hosts, threaten their jobs, and then that becomes the story in the next media cycle instead of his shitty GMing or the team's terrible play in general.

Hell, he fired the great Brad Sham for awhile for criticizing the Cowboys too much.

Dale Hansen was an early victim of Jerry's wrath.  Dale has an ego as big as Jerry's and didn't put up with any of Jerry's (or Switzer's) shit, so Jerry fired his ass for being too critical.  

this is an all-timer.

And yet of the two, which has been most recently to a Super Bowl and won their division? The Dallas media isn't giving Stephen the same deferment they give Jerry. Nor will the fans. The Davis family got by on this because no one in LA or Oakland gave a shit about those teams, hence why they now reside in Las Vegas.

yeah all of that AND...Dale is a Husker and Barry a Sooner, that had to be a part of it.  I watched Dale back in those days....he always came across smug and passive aggressive.  Barry thought the local media should lay down and kiss the ring and Jerry still lives with a part of that sentiment.

I don't think "Jerry Jones is so shitty at his job he's getting blasted by his own flagship station radio hosts, and he's such a senile old bitch he can't take the heat anymore" is the misdirection he wants. This wasn't planned, he got butthurt his "peasants" aren't toeing the company line anymore and lashed out of emotion. Also, not a good sign Stephen is the cap guy when the Cowboys are one of the worst teams in thr league in managing the cap.

That’s a pretty extraordinary interview. Jerry usually doesn’t bow up and threaten how big and important he is and threaten to fire people publicly. He’s actually going to be pretty upset with himself for losing his cool and the bad impression he left. 

Oh please, people like him, true narcisists, have zero clue about the "impression" of others, he thinks he came off as a strong competent leader. He's being sheltered from the backlash and probably doesn't even know people are out there talking about his comments in any sort of a negative light.

If you can convince Jerry that his franchise is worth 8 figures, I’ll put together an ownership group to pay the top dollar of $99,999,999 and give you 5% of the franchise for putting the deal together.

No, but for at least since the start of the Jason Garrett era Sham is the guy Jerry sends to ask a stupid softball question during press conferences when things are getting a little too real.

Same and I’m happier. Cowboys are on auto record on yttv so I just watch the key plays version in 4 minutes if I’m done with outside stuff. I hope that doesn’t give Jerry money but it probably does.

I’m a bit surprised that espn criticized an owner as powerful as Jerry but I notice that espn didn’t ask the nfl pr team to comment. Which is what an independent news org would do. The nfl would be unhappy with that question.

As wrong as it is with Jerry punching down at radio hosts, he is right that flagship stations are not there to criticize the real power of a team. The team most likely has a contractual right to control the radio hiring and firings for shows related to the team.

I'm starting to think that it might be a really regarded idea for an owner of a team to do weekly radio interviews and be the first person interviewed after every single game.

I don’t think I recall him ever facing real media. It’s always in that stupid fucking room or somewhere around the Star where it’s all softball shit with people who know he’ll pull their access to the complex if they ask tough questions. Otherwise it’s settings like discussing the latest Cowboys hall of fame indictee. So yeah in his narcissist brain he faces media all the time, just friendly media over which he has complete control.

Maybe his idea that people on the payroll can’t tell him when he’s full of shit has contributed to the situation in which he finds himself.

I'm sure the contract has some element of input but I'd be shocked if it gives the team full control. Jerry doesn't own the station. The Fan has made a lot of gains in ratings with their on air personalities over the last 10 years, and I wonder if a big change to kissing the team's ass would harm them far more than telling Jerry to pound sand. Then keep slamming him for being inept and holding the franchise hostage. 

Plus, there's a ton of competition for radio now from podcasts like DLLS and Voch Lombardi/Bryan Broadus that don't give a shit what Jerry thinks. A lot of places to go to hear about the team. Would be an interesting decision for the station management, and if they did tell Jerry that he doesn't control their hosts where else would he go? He already burned the ticket bridge. He'd have to just go streaming and be off car radios for good.

Damn, shots fired. Saying those guys have no idea what they're talking about, and especially when everyone who pays attention knows they asked exactly what they should have asked and were spot on. Insinuating they should be his hired monkeys and do whatever he says just because he pays the station to broadcast the team's games. I wouldn't want to talk to that piece of shit again if I were them.

If people who literally will never get a chance to ask me these questions publicly were to ask them I would react differently.

[Billy Pilgrim 1942]

He’s already had a chance to have fans grill him and did the same stupid shit- he said “did you like those super bowls, I’m sure you did”. He’s a thin skinned piece of shit and hates it when people don’t bow down to him which is why he’s got a string of mistresses and illegitimate kids around the metroplex. People like him are why the college game is 1000x better than the nfl.

I saw a thing where some hillbilly was waiting all weekend to take a fireball shot. He was going to do it first OU touchdown, then he had to take it first cowboys touchdown. Poor feller didn’t get to gulp down that sugary garbage. 

[mdmost 42950]

I mostly have games on in the background. If they win, great. If they lose, also great. If they get blown out, f'ing fantastic. The Dallas media is part of the problem because who do they run to after every game for a comment? It's not Mike McCarthy or Dak. It's Jerry. Name any other franchise in the NFL where that happens and then you can see why we have almost 30 years of mediocrity.

he’s been asked tough questions by “real media” plenty of times.  every now and then he slips up and gives a sound bite but by and large he’s pretty good at deflection and word salad while essentially saying nothing. 

[kevwun 15680]

He's good at saying completely nonsensical things like that he's happy with the Dallas running backs.
