Yeah ... he fancies himself as this great football expert but, quite frankly, he hasn't done a very good job.

I don't think the fundamental problems will change until he's gone.

And Jerry Jr takes over. And he is any better in the area of great football knowledge......... sure.

Maybe Mark Cuban can buy them. Then we might have some hope of them actually making it to the Super Bowl one day.

Jerry Jones is the man. Last time I checked the Dallas Cowboys are the richest sports franchise in the world. I am happy he decided to move his team on the other side of the metroplex. With all these sporting events coming to Arlington like the All Star game, Final four, superbowl etc.. This should be a big boom for not only Dallas but Fort Worth as well. I am already seeing hotels popping up in far East Fort Worth around eastchase parkway.

I wish he'd just put it out there and try to coach them one year so he'd learn his lesson. Not like it could do much harm at this point.

Even in Decatur where we use to live, there is 6 new hotels under construction and another fixing to start. I have heard that this is because of all the sporting events and stuff coming to the DFW area.

He's a great businessman but that does not make for a great football team.

Is there any other NFL owner who micromanages like he does? No.

He needs to step away but he'll never do it.

Agreed but he'll never do it. Too much ego.

Oh ya, I will give him that. After talking with him and knowing him for so long, you realize that he knows his business, economics, and math. He's smart, but doesn't have a lot of good common sense. And like I said earlier, his attitude and ideas are not good and hurt him when it comes to decisions and stuff.

Okay in sports someone has to lose and someone has to win. But to lose 44-6 is just unacceptable! Esp in such an important game. I don't understand what happens when they get out on the field??? It reminds me of watching the little rascals playing sports.

Second, I can't imagine having to spend more money at the new stadium on food and drinks. I went to my first game at TX stadium with $60 and was broke by the time I got to my seat. And I didn't buy any apparel. I don't know where the money went (a drink or two, gigantic hotdog, souvenir popcorn bucket, #1 fan glove).
