Still trying to figure out why JJ is such a bad owner to most folks.

Sure, he may get too involved at times, but no one can say the man doesn’t care about winning and will do everything he thinks possible to help the Cowboys get better.

Ok, yeah.

But check this: Blogging The Boys had a great article talking about the public misconceptions about JJ. While most say JJ needs a real “football” mind to make personnel decisions, this is a G.M that has built the current team through the draft while supplementing via free agency. He learned tough lessons (Joey Galloway) but has generally made decent choices. Questionable characters aside. And he learned that was a bad idea this past season, and has decided to get rid of the bad apples.

He’s not the best owner in sports, but he certainly is far from as a bad as most folks make him out to be.

and

since 2003, his drafts and FA signings have been some of the best in the NFL…on par with any GM. I would love to know 5 that did better in personnel decisions in that time…

That is not true

Jerry will do anything to win…except something that will lessen his enjoyment of owning the team.

Orel just said

he expects the Angels to win the division by double digits this year.

So we have that prediction now too

And let me know if you need a loan.

Jerry to Tom

“ure we ought to partner, but act like we hate each other …. remember the cartoon years ago, Tom and Jerry – what a blast, always a fight, always a chase, and drew a huge audience! Now all it would take is, say, let me try lil’ Elvis Andrus at wideout, and Nelson Cruz as a tight end to back up our AllStar. You can even have our boy Roy take the mound an throw a few.”

Tom to Jerry – what percentage did you say you want for your $300 mllion ??

Heh Wash has nothing on Bobby Cox
CF Jordan Schafer homered in his first major-league at-bat, which manager Bobby Cox will take but does not prefer; he doesn’t want any of his hitters straining to hit home runs. Cox wants Schafer to do what he did in his next at-bat, which was hit a clean single.

Heh, singles are always better than homers, of course……

I think...

Cox doesn’t want his rookie lead-off hitter all of the sudden thinking he’s Albert Pujols and swinging for the fences.

by Sherman McCoy on Apr 6, 2009 10:17 PM CDT up reply actions  

lol

thanks for that. I wasn’t aware of what he meant. It’s all so clear now.

by Dirk Diggler on Apr 6, 2009 10:19 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah...

Because a talented young baseball player clubbing a home run is definitely an indication of questionable abiltiy for the leadoff spot.

Ian

I think the same thing happened to Kinsler. I think it 2 years ago when he hit like 40 homers in April and all of sudden thought he was.. Pujols, so he would swing for the fences every time.

Or maybe I’m not remembering correctly.

by akuykenda on Apr 6, 2009 10:27 PM CDT up reply actions  

He wasn't batting leadoff that April though.

He didn’t really hit his stride until Ron finally slotted him at leadoff in the second half of ’07.

My people said you did not pay last month. So when should I expect your payment?

From the expression on Tom’s face, it is clear that he can answer Jerry’s questions of “do you see my hand Tom? Now guess where my other hand is?”

Do the AP Photos show up randomly or only at your discretion?
