Aikman and Irvin recently put into words why I knew on March 29, 1994, from the pit of my stomach and deep recesses of my soul, the Cowboys were doomed for the rest of my lifetime (and probably well beyond). The reason I felt this way is because winning football cannot be accomplished by one man who sucks all the oxygen out of the room for his own selfish desires and insecurity. You could perhaps get by with a player like that on the back end of your roster but never at GM. I believe the teams that win are able to put together a group of talented coaches, who coach hard, players with great work ethic when properly cultivated by players and coaches, creates a winning culture with, as Michael Irvin describes, a "collective will" resulting in a formidable team, tough to beat. We had that for an all too brief but beautiful span of time in the 90's
I dont believe the GM of the Cowboys places any value on any of the above and has specifically scoffed at the notion of culture.
He's also proud of overpaying which is antithetical to building the best team under the constraints of a salary cap.
Its why we're here 30+ years and counting with zippo in the success department and no hope anywhere on the horizon but hey at least 31 other teams are ecstatic:

He’s going to freeze his head like Ted Williams and come back in the future to haunt our future generations.

I hate Jones with a passion (as do most) but this is one thing I really don't take any issue with him on.
In regards to Parsons, he believes they had the makings of a deal done, and shook on it.
This is exactly how many old school business people have dealt with "people" and "business" for eons. Jones feels like Parsons reneged because his dumbass agent was butthurt over a direct convo.
If the agent doesn't like it, fuck him and fuck his client. His agent is every bit the turd that Parsons is now and probably deserves most of the blame for the loony way this has been handled.

I have a question... I have noticed, that for some sports ownerships, that when the owner passes away, that the the ownership goes to the spouse, and not to the son, or the daughter.
In the case of the Dallas Cowboys, do we know right now, when Jerry passes, if the ownership would go to Eugenia Jones?? Or would Stephen be the new owner, the head of the Empire.

Looks like it's a secret, but I doubt it goes to his wife.
There is no definitive public information specifying who will own the Dallas Cowboys after Jerry Jones passes away. However, based on available sources, it’s reasonable to infer that ownership is likely to remain within the Jones family due to their deep involvement in the franchise’s operations. Jerry Jones, who purchased the team in 1989, has integrated his family into key executive roles: his son Stephen Jones serves as the chief operating officer, executive vice president, and director of player personnel; his daughter Charlotte Jones is the executive vice president and chief brand officer; and his son Jerry Jones Jr. is the chief sales and marketing officer/vice president. This family-centric management structure suggests a succession plan that keeps control within the family.
While no explicit will or succession document has been publicly disclosed, the Jones family’s significant financial stake—Jerry Jones’ net worth is estimated at $16.6 billion, largely tied to the Cowboys’ $10.3 billion valuation—further supports the likelihood of the team staying under family control, possibly through a trust or direct inheritance to his children.
Without a specific announcement from Jones or legal documentation, this remains speculative but grounded in the family’s entrenched roles and the franchise’s value to their legacy. If you’d like, I can search for any recent developments or posts on X to see if new information has emerged.

He retired after the 96 season amigo. Had ruptured disk and missed a bunch of games at end of 1995 yr after having surgery.
