No it’s that they built the stadium the wrong way and left it part open air so it’s direct sunlight that’s the problem lmao
There is a massive curtain but they refuse to use it.

Other events at the stadium do use it though.

Jerry Jones is a terrible NFL owner as he doesn't listen to people more qualified then him. He is similar to Levy in this sense however he does spend money and is desperate to win.

He also made the Dallas Cowboys the most valuable team in the world so would bring in more money from sponsorship.

Wouldn't really want him as an owner but as he knows nothing about football he could be more hands off and leave the decisions to other people. So could potentially work

Let's be honest, these rumours never come to anything. I think now I'm going to have to see something quite substantial before thinking there may actually be something in it.

Be careful what we wish for. If we hound out DL for LOLs.... he'll piss off and sell up to whomever gives the most money.

How do you now someone toxic wouldn't asset strip us, saddle us with debt, leverage the hell out of THFC and take all the dividends like the Glazers. - all because the purple and gold mob with some annoying trust members / twitter nobs wanted 'ENIC OUT'!!???
I know from nothing, but i'm pretty sure if Levy sells it won't be because some trust members/twitter knobs wanted ENIC out.

And for getting on 20 years i've been very careful what I wished for, just as i've been told to, like the good boy I am and it's wearing a bit thin now:D

But I've never heard about this guy so i'm not going to worry too much about or be careful what I wish for yet again it until it's proven, actually genuinely proven to be more than a shithouse rumour.

Fuck me Jerry Jones? As an NFL fan of a rival team for the past 20 years, few things bring me more joy as an opponent than watch him overreach and meddle in affairs which fuck the Cowboys over time and time again. He spends money like it's going out of fashion to back his madcap ideas and vanity projects, keeps the wrong people around for too long and generally makes the wrong decision every time.

The Cowboys are the Real Madrid of the NFL in terms of revenue, history and pulling power for talent, yet he's succeeded in winning nothing with them for 30 years after a promising beginning. I can't think of a worse potential owner for what we need than Jerry Jones.

I also can't see why he'd buy us either. He's 82 years old and as of yet has shown 0 interest in (proper) football in his life. Smells like BS to me....

Amazon did an All or Nothing season (the same series they did with us) with the Cowboys a while back...I watched it a few years ago and think it may have been back in 2017 or 18.
It's been a while since I watched it but remember him coming across as very cringe. And lots of nepotism, with various family members promoted into high ranking jobs within the Cowboys organisation.

Worth a watch if you have an interest in NFL or sports docs in general.

Couple of things:
Jerry Jones would never run an English Football team.
Jerry Jones is not going to buy a football team, he’s probably going to croak within the next 10 years and his children run the Cowboys. Would make no sense.
PFTCommenter has the largest NFL podcast in the world and I am a fan of it actually. However, I would say his credibility level as a source would be on par with The Sun. Could he be right? Yes. Is he right, 98% chance no.
Enjoy your night.

Yeah don't see why he would be interested unless the NFL is actually considering having a team in London in the future and Jerry wants to be the face of making that happen.

Hmm, so not many good or positive things being said about him so far.

There must be something good to say surely?

Patriots, but watching the Cowboys suffer brings me immense joy. I don't think you're a true NFL fan unless you love the Cowboys falling apart.

It's like loving watching Leeds fuck up. Some things are just right.

Straw clutching almost certainly but note the Emir of Qatar in London today for a state banquet so wonder how the dialogue is in terms of their supposed interest in acquiring a percentage.

Business interests and asset management in London must surely be discussed no?

Akin to watching United lose under Fergie. Cause for national celebration. Even better as an Eagles fan.

All I read is he backed humongously his coaches. Just had bad recruitment team around him. Mike you o don’t follow NFL. Just what I read

Yeah, he gets behind them to a fault. Mike McCarthy was dead on his feet last year, yet they brought him back this year on a one year deal, and they shit the bed again (even before Dak Prescott got hurt, they were shit). He did similar with Jason Garrett who is a nice guy, but not a good football coach all things considered. NFL expenditure is somewhat limited due to the salary cap, and there’s no doubt he’s spent oodles on the Cowboys and their organization, as a whole. But as others have said, he thinks he knows best, there’s some pretty good evidence over his 35 years as an owner that he holds some racist beliefs, and then there’s the nepotism that creates this whole cycle of enabling his behavior. He’s basically the Donald Trump of the NFL.
