Okay Jerry. Enough's, enough...

Alright Jerry. Enough’s enough….

Jerry Jones was interviewed a few weeks ago by Bob Costas and asked if he would fire himself as the general manager of the Cowboys. Jerry replied that he was the one that had to look himself in the mirror each day and live with any shortcomings. Apparently Jerry’s vision is a little off or he can’t see through the fog.

The Cowboy’s have become the whipping boy of the NFL. Alright, they’re really not that bad; the problem is they are not that good.  Who else besides me is tired of buying Cowboy gear, supporting Jerry and his overpaid “players”? We buy the t-shirts and shoes. We eat the pizza and drink the soft drinks, but in the end, what do we get in return? The Cowboy’s charge $29.95 to stand in the end zone and $50.00 to park.

Jerry used to come out to the field at the end of the game, glad-handing and slapping people on the back. He thought he was the brains and the reason for the limited success. I’ve noticed lately he don’t come aroun’ no mo’. Heat in the kitchen getting’ a little to hot for you Jerr??? Of course, he’ll blame it on someone else and hire another head coach.  But he won’t fire the general manager. Hell, even George Steinbrenner, the pain in the ass he was, had the smarts to hire someone to run the Yankee’s. 

Unfortunately Jerry Jones is just another example of “Since I got all the money, I got all the answers.” See George Steinbrenner. I’ve seen way to many people like this in my years to buy this act.  Jerry was a big fish in a small pond in his younger days, made a few good business decisions and now he thinks he’s a “football guy.” Bill Parcell’s could have saved this team if Jerry would have let him, but alas, Jerry’s ego took over. How many owners in the NFL have the same problem Jerry has? Ask the Patriot’s and Robert Kraft. Don’t ask the Raiders and the former Al Davis, may he rest in peace. 

Maybe Jerry’s kids (no pun intended, but kind of funny anyway..) will use a more common sense approach when Daddy gives them the keys.  Maybe the mistakes of the past will become the lessons of the future for the Jone’s clan.
