Jerry is definitely going to catch some hell for a video of him that has recently surfaced on Deadspin.  The press is tagging Jerry as being blatantly disrespectful towards Tuna and that guy from that Super Bowl commercial.  The unofficial transcript is as follows:

Jerry Jones: Romo was a miracle.

Other guy: It was a miracle, wasn’t it?

JJ: He almost never got in, and he almost was gone. Tebow would never…

Different other guy: What if you were the Jaguars or — would you just, just draft him and sell fucking jerseys?

JJ: That’s the only reason I brought in Bill Parcells.

[Laughter]

JJ: [Inaudible. Sounds a little like, "Sell mammoth fuckin' rake," whatever that means.]

JJ: Bill’s not worth a shit. I love him.

Different other guy: I know you do.

JJ: Not worth a shit, but I wanted — they were on my ass so bad. J’s gotta have a yes man. So to get this fuckin’ stadium, I need to bring his ass in.

Different other guy: What, you, you wouldn’t take Tebow in the third round?

JJ: Why? He’d never get on the field. I can’t get him out there.

[Laughter]

JJ: I can’t get him out there.

Sometimes I miss Texas because every old, drunk guy at a bar sounds exactly like Jerry does in this video.  Personally, I think this situation only emphasizes how bad ass this guy is.  He’s an amazing business man with billions of dollars and the greatest team in sports.  He’s entitled to a drunk opinion.

My brother’s comment takes the cake for “beautiful first thoughts of the drunk Jerry video”.

Ryan: “That shit is hilarious! I love that he still gets blacked-out drunk at age 100″.  (Agreed!)

Love ya Jerry,

Kyle

(Apparently, It’s Good to be a Cowboy via Blue Star)

According to various polls and studies, the Cowboys are at once the most despised, most popular, most profitable franchise in the NFL. They are easily the most visible, which might explain, in part, why they are so thoroughly hated and loved, depending on who you ask. 

But apparently, for the average NFL player, it’s good to be a Cowboy.

 In a poll conducted by Sports Illustrated (Per the Dallas Morning News), the Cowboys were named as the team players would most like to play for, with 11.1 percent of 296 players participating. The San Diego Chargers came in second with 8.5 percent, followed by Pittsburgh, with 7 percent.

 With the question, “which team would you most like to play for?” locale seemed to influence decisions as much as winning, with the aforementioned San Diego beating out the reigning Super Bowl champion Steelers for second, and Miami (6.6 percent) beating out perennial contender New England Patriots (5.9 percent) for third. It’s better to be middling in comfort than winning in the frigid cold of the North, I suppose.

As far as Dallas is concerned, this poll could point to any number of factors: a winning tradition perhaps, history galore or Jerry Jones’ long standing policy of taking care of his players. Maybe it’s a combination of the three; but it is somewhat remarkable that Dallas sits atop the NFLer’s wish-list after 12 plus seasons without a playoff victory.
