    Jerry Jones is a Douche-bag

    http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080330/SPT02/803300424/1066/SPT


    The Cowboys' Jerry Jones and some other owners of big-market NFL teams would like to see the cap on player salary money eliminated.

    It's no secret that Jones wants to turn the Cowboys into the New York Yankees of pro football.

    Not having to deal with a salary cap would put him one step closer to that goal.

    "Nothing will be able to stop Jerry Jones from giving a great player like (Bengals quarterback) Carson Palmer a $50 million signing bonus as a free agent," King said.

    Compare the ghost of NFL future with that of big-league baseball's present. The Reds, who open their season Monday, are among the 75 percent of teams who are outspent 2-to-1 by big-market clubs like the Yankees, Red Sox and Mets. The spending disparity makes it almost impossible for small-market teams to compete consistently for championships.

    Now apply that model to the NFL.

    King said that without a salary cap, Dallas would be among a small group of NFL teams - along with New England, Philadelphia, Washington, and the two New York teams - that would be able, and probably willing, to outspend the rest of the league for top talent.

    Most of the rest of the league would have to operate like the Oakland A's in baseball: Draft well, develop young talent, try to win in a three- to four-year window and then start all over again because they can't afford to re-sign their top players.

    Jerry Jones is the worst thing that ever happened to the NFL. Ever.

    This is why another football league will succeed, down the road. Jones will get his way and the NFL will have half it's current teams within 5-10 years.

    Once the average ticket buyer is eliminated from buying football tickets, $$ people will see a viable pro football market with empty/ready stadiums, hundreds of available players and a hard cap to keep it real.

    Jones, Snyder & the rest of the big market owners will maintain the same thinking of many NFL owners back in 1960. " The AFL ? Haha. That will never work. People will never stop supporting us ! "

    The difference being they drove the financial backbone of the NFL, Joe Lunchbox, out of the league. If a new league charges $30-50 a ticket, they'll pack the stadiums with working class people.

    I'd rather see a new league than be the KC Royals of the NFL.. developing stars for the elite teams. Screw that.

      I'd believe that more if a viable alternative to MLB had been created over the last 20 or thirty years, but it hasn't. Of course, baseball has the minor leagues to fill the gap.

          Jones has always been a DB.

            Yea, you guys are just figuring this out?

            Ironically, it was the Cowboy's Tex Schramm who, along with Lamar Hunt that designed the revenue sharing plan that is being chipped away at today.

                Excellent thread!


                But you can definitely add Robert Kraft and Dan Snyder to this list, they are even worse IMO.

                  The good news is that there 2/3's of the owners need to agree to change things, and the 6 teams they mention don't even come close to that. So it won't happen.

                        Jerry Jones has Tony Romo as his quarterback.

                          Agreed on Snyder, not as much on Kraft. I respect him for doing things like building his own stadium and actually not going nuts on player salaries.

                          Snyder and Jones are festering boils though.

                            And once again, why did some people around here criticize Ralph for speaking out before?
                            "'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

                            "Eh, Phil. That's one I happen to agree with."

                              No, no, no no. Totally not fair.

                              Jerry Jones is a butt hole and doesn't understand that the product works with small market teams participating.

                              However, Ralph has done his share as the polar opposite to ruin are chances of keeping this team here. Not giving naming rights for the stadium, not having an exit startegy, the bad press that he promotes by saying that "Buffalo can't support the team" does just as much damage as Jerry Jones.

                              If we lose this team I will blame Ralph Wilson more than any other issue.
