Jimmy wanted out and wanted just any ole excuse and Jerruh provided it. He talks about this in his book. He admits he is a Gypsy and was done in Dallas. Jimmy leaving was as much Jimmy as it was Jerruh.
But yeah, I feel the pain too. Jerruh should have kissed his ass if necessary and wrote another big check, whatever it took to keep Jimmy. His ego wouldn't allow that any more than Jimmys would allow him to stay.
If he wanted out, he wanted out because he was sick of jerris bullshit. Jimmy was shown recruiting Deon at the Super bowl, so he wasn't completely sold on leaving and I'm damn sure if jerry wasn't pulling all his bullshit, Jimmy would have come back to at least try for the 3-peat.
I was screaming at the TV cussing like a sailor when they showed jerri running his mouth about those times, he is such a fucking joke....I hate his fucking guts
I wish free agency could have been delayed for 3 years so they could have run off 4 (maybe 5) in a row, I think even jerri and barry could have pulled that off with those players and without the cap/free agency
That Niner loss will sting til the day I die, cant imagine how the players must feel
It really was a great rivalry though, its a shame it doesn't exists much anymore, mainly because we've both pretty much sucked since those days
