The middle row up and down is a Bradie Bottle Lock.
I honestly think that's been why he's had a lot of problems as a GM, he's a genuinely nice guy that sees the best in everyone.Just ran into Eddie Collins, Jerry's longtime jet pilot now retired. He had a bunch of Jerry stories, but one of the coolest was how Jerry bought Superbowl rings for him and several other key staff.
Dude was walking around the cruise ship with the 95 Super Bowl ring on his finger (thing was probably worth $90k). My brother and I ran into him in line for a show, struck up a conversation, and before we know it we and our daughters are taking turns wearing it. The guy was generous, and even sounded like Jerry same voice and Arkansas accent minus the crazy-isms.
Reminder of how cool Jerry is to friends and family, despite his many failings as a football guy.
It's a big part of it for sure.I honestly think that's been why he's had a lot of problems as a GM, he's a genuinely nice guy that sees the best in everyone.
Like him or not, you can't write the history of the NFL without including Jones. He belongs in the HOF, I only wish he was half as good a GM as Joe Fans think he is.I didn't watch the whole ceremony or hear his speech but despite all the shots I've taken at him over the years, he deserves it. Some bad, some good as a GM but easily one of the best owners in the league. Helluva salesman too, he could sell ice to an eskimo.
Agree that sometimes he was way to patient with some players but he was always willing to give some players second, third and fourth chances before getting fed up. I think I've only seen him lose it on the sidelines on TV maybe once or twice, I think the one time he went off on Quinthy.
I don't think he's a genuinely nice guy. I think at times he is -- I've personally seen him be generous with fans -- but I think he has a pretty bad side, too.I honestly think that's been why he's had a lot of problems as a GM, he's a genuinely nice guy that sees the best in everyone.
He's a fucking snake oil salesman. Fuck Jerry Jones.I don't think he's a genuinely nice guy. I think at times he is -- I've personally seen him be generous with fans -- but I think he has a pretty bad side, too.
I think he's just gotten a lot better at covering it up. Plus the natural mellowing process that happens when you reach old age.
