Garrett spent 17 years of his professional life as a scout for the Cowboys, including the Super Bowl seasons of 1992, 1993 and 1995. He wrote the original scouting report on Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, the organization’s first-round pick (and first overall) in the 1989 draft.

Garrett also worked for the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns.

It all makes sense now. Jason really is the illegitimate son of Jerry. Holy shit.

Anyone know where I can find the clip of Jim Garrett raving about how awesome Todd Lowber was going to be and then the scene where Wade Phillips was talking about him in a team meeting and was all "Yeah he's a good athlete but he isn't a football player"

It was during Hard Knocks 2008.

I just remember him basically fellating Zach Thomas. Embarrassing.

You knew this was my bat-signal, didn't you?

Couldn't find the Garrett raving... only vids other than this one I could find have some seriously messed up audio. But this is Lowber getting cut and Phillips' comments at just before 17:00.
