Where does one begin to catalog disgust?  Is it the quitters on the team?  Is it the self-centered receiver?  Is it the QB who can’t be made to care?  Is it NFL’s weakest head coach telling the world he can change himself into the toughest little sheriff this side of Mayberry?  Is it the mediocre linebacker laughing on TV at the idea that the coach can get tough, then showing how tough he is by taking on a fan who dared show his displeasure at this bunch of losers?

You thought maybe you’d seen enough in December.  And maybe by all rights, you should have seen enough of the Cowboys.  But now it appears that we get not one, but TWO reality shows about this team of losers.  Two!  Is TV so desparate for shows that we deserve two shows?

Now, don’t get me wrong - I love Michael Irvin.  Sure, he’s had his down times, but he owns up cleanly to his mistakes and appears to be on the right track in his life.  And his idea of following people as they go through open tryouts for the team might even be interesting if the Philadelphia Eagles hadn’t already done that as far back as Dick Vermiel days - in fact, Mark Wahlberg’s already done the movie!  Why would anyone let them make the same show again?  Is TV that starved for ideas?

And then today they announced that TO and two bimbo friends will have their own show.  Could there be anything less interesting.  I don’t know what the purpose for TV is:  maybe it’s letting the whole world share in the recent inauguration.  Maybe it’s the instantaneous horror of the world watching the Twin Towers fall.  Maybe it’s parents getting to watch their kids play in the school band on the local community station.  I don’t know for sure what the purpose of TV is, but I will never believe that this technology that allows a signal to transmit from any point in the world into my living room was designed to let TO and his bimbos preen in front of a camera.  In the name of all things large and small, please do not watch this show.  Let them cancel it quickly in hopes that it will be replaced by something - anything - of value.  I never thought I’d miss reruns of Gilligans Island, but that might make me do it.

Of course, there’s always the chance that we could drag in one more used up has-been to join the team.  This year’s rumor is Ray Lewis.  And to be fair, it’s been well over 6 years since Ray was directly involved in a murder (as far as we know).  So heck, he’s the kind of guy I’d want to bring in.  A 13 year veteran who hasn’t been involved in a murder in over 6 years!

So Jerry, this is what you have wrought.  Your team quits.  You coach is a laughing stock.  Your rationale that you will keep him because you want “continuity” would be laughable if it weren’t so sad.  13 - 3, moving to 9 -7 is not really a trend you want to consider.  I’m assuming you understand this, but if not, let me help:  trend lines that are headed down and to the right are bad.  Up and to the right - good.  But down and right is bad.  Try to keep that in mind as you look at Shanahan, Gruden and a host of strong assistant coaches sitting ready to be hired by another team and go on to defeat your gutless group of men.  Pick one. It almost doesn’t matter which one as long as it’s not the laughable weakling you have now.

So here’s where I am on the team.  I tried to care.  I really did.  I invested many years of my life watching great guys play with the Star.  I have my autographed Tony Dorsett, Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman balls.  I keep pictures of Irvin, Aikman (and some baseball and hockey stars) in my Sports/Media room.  But it suddenly occurred to me that Jerry doesn’t care if he wins.  He bought something for $325M, it’s now worth over $1B.  And he apparently doesn’t even have to win to make it grow in value.  And that’s where it finally made sense to me.  He really doesn’t care if the team wins.

If Jerry doesn’t care, why should I?

Unabated greed. Ridiculously outsized ego. And completely out of touch with the people who made the Dallas Cowboys into America’s Team. That’s just the start of why we proudly dedicate this site you, Jerry Jones. We, the fans of the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL are here to tell you, we are disgusted by you.

Can’t afford a $150,000 Personal Seat License (or even a $50,000 PSL) to buy the equivalent seat that you’ve owned for over 40 years? Disgusted that Jerry is asking you to build the stadium that he will make money on?  This is your site!

Can’t afford to take your kids to a game at the new stadium, because 4 tickets will cost you over $1,000 for a Sunday afternoon? Feel free to let Jerry Jones and the NFL know your thoughts.

Don’t want to shell out another $100 a year for the NFL Network? Angry that you had to miss 2 games out of the season, including the Packer game, as a result of that excess greed? Tell Jerry.

Still annoyed at the way Jerry plastered advertising on every open inch of Texas Stadium, or that he took up hundreds of close-in Blue Coupon parking spaces to build his sponsored tent that he charges money to get into? Let him know you’re tired.

Let’s thank Jerry for thumbing his nose at the fans that made the Dallas Cowboys. Let’s let him know we don’t appreciate his desire to prove they are HIS team, not America’s team. Click on the “I’m disgusted by Jerry” button below to add your thoughts. (Eagles fans – feel free to comment, but keep it clean.  This is still a family site, and we will pull objectionable comments).

Or better yet, jump to one of the many sites for NFL souvenirs, and pick another team. If you can’t go to the Cowboy game, and you can’t watch at home, you might as well pick a new team to follow.

Pass this along to an equally disgusted friend, and check back often. I have a feeling we have not seen the last of the reasons why we should be disgusted by Jerry.
