Unless.... Seeing Jimmy almost make the HoF before him overrides this (to him and his legacy) lesser stuff. Else why the sudden flood of "legacy" building interviews?

Perhaps. But that still leaves the question, why the sudden "legacy" building tour? Wishful thinking is that he eats a big bag of puss infested, AIDS infected dick, and dies a slow, suffering, lingering, horrible death.

Recently even.

And when this vet shits the bed like the last two we had, out trots the rookie.

Well. If we draft one I do not assume there will be time for him to learn from the bench. I assume Tony's gonna break again.

Agreed. I think Gregory is the real deal in the making.

I might have this all wrong, might just be my own false perception, but it seems to me Jerry is doing more and more softball interviews about himself, kind of trying to establish a narrative of his "legacy." If my perception is accurate, I've thought of a reason or two why we're seeing this...

Yeah, they're not fans anymore. Therefore they can't be called "negative fans." There's no such thing as that. You have essentially two types of fans in existence: One - The total homer idiot fan who to him/her, this is a religion and how dare you question it. And Two - the objective and...

No other sports owner or sports CEO is ever called a "marketing genius." It's pretty much only Jerry and I believe it comes from, Jerry. Then it's been regurgitated soooo much and so long oft-repeated that I think few people really give it any thought. But when they do, invariably they stop...

Yes they can and they can do so successfully, even getting you to change the meter to "knows a thing or two" and very few would argue against that.

Jimmy Johnson. Jerry didn't know dick about running a sports organization, marketing it, promoting it or even doing media and TV for it. Jimmy set all that up. Jed Clampett didn't know anything about Oil, Gilligan didn't know anything about sailing. It doesn't take any kind of genius to...

It is NOT! It's the marketing machine Darymple instituted combined with the tidal wave of sports franchise success in general.

No, stupid. I got over the Landry part right away. Had been telling people for at least a couple of years prior that the game had passed him by. And spent years after the mediocrity on the field started, defending Jerry just like you. Because Jerry was the only one crass enough to do it...

It averaged a million annually but that is how Bum Bright wanted it - whole thing was just a tax shelter and a write-off for him, right in the middle of the savings and loan scandal. That is partly why the government made him sell the team. It wasn't smart, it was a no-brainer. Tex had been...

Plus, you're pretending that every top sports team hasn't climbed the same value ladder Dallas has. Newsflash - the 10 most valuable franchises in 1988 still are the most valuable ones. They've all made billions and increased their value tremendously. Jerry's just rode the same wave the rest of...

That's all shit you're saying, nothing even close to anything I've said. But that's what weak fucks do when being trounced in a debate, erect straw men they can burn.

There was nothing shrewd about anything Jerry has done. I used to be just like you, hailing Jerry and defending him with the same tired old shit you're spewing, up until about 15 years ago when I started looking at Jerry objectively. He's just a wildcatter who struck the honey hole. He's Digger...

If we define shrewd as listening to smarter people on the business side and pretty much staying out of their way especially early on, then ok. But, personally I don't give Jerry credit for shit. He bought the most valuable sports team at a fire sale rate, hired the same guy as HC Tex had been...

Any idiot could have bought this team and made billions. In fact, that's exactly what happened.

No. He bouught the team that already was one of the best marketing teams ever assembled, then fired the braintrust of that, Tex Schramm. Then Jimmy bailed his as out of the fire.
