So many s in there it's hard to isolate just a few.

It is sad when you get so much cringe when you listen to the owner and the guy who is steering the ship talk.

"It is just absolutely a stunning thing to me to think of why we’re not there (playing in Super Bowls) with what we commit and what we do to win Super Bowls.”


It's really stunning that a bunch of guys named Jones that love to try and tell everyone how much they know about football, fail miserably at implementing very simple things that armchair GMs sitting on the couch see every time the Cowboys play.

Holy shit. No self-awareness whatsoever. Yes sir, it's a total mystery as to why we've flailed for 20+ years.

He just rationalized it.

They have been trying!

Is it me or is this a backhanded compliment? So we have to go 30 years with Garrett before a Super Bowl or am I reading it wrong?

 

[deadrise]

The question is, what time period in the last 20-plus years represents his "best work?"

He says that this is his 30th combine and he doesn't have "30 more." The fans wish his clock had stopped a long time ago.

I think you are. I think Jerry is saying that if Garrett wins a Superbowl he will have the job for life.

That's a lot of talking just to say nothing's going to change.

"Jerry Jones: “I got involved (with the Cowboys) to win. I must tell you, I didn’t know it was going to be this tough. ... It is just absolutely a stunning thing to me to think of why we’re not there (playing in Super Bowls) with what we commit and what we do to win Super Bowls.”"

This is classic, right up there with the top 5 brain dead things Jerry ever said. It's in the same category as "500 coaches could have won that Super Bowl." He's totally unaware of the role his mismanagement plays. He thinks if you throw money at it and want it real bad that's enough -- like 31 other teams aren't committing resources to win Super Bowls. He actually believes that his football acumen should have earned them more Super Bowls. Hard to imagine someone that delusional getting out of bed every day and tying his own shoes.

I will take "Shit you say when you have nothing at DE" for $500, Alex.

I find it an insult to the memory of Tom Landry.

It’s that nonsense that sickens me, but Jerry’s sycophants just lap it up year after year.

I think he's saying that if Garrett ever does win a Super Bowl here, the Jones clan will give him a lifetime contract.

All the more reason to pray for his failure. If he somehow does luck into one, that would be it.
