"It's a tumultuous time for the Dallas Cowboys. They're not winning enough football games, they don't appear to be big movers before the trade deadline, and Jerry Jones publicly announced that he cares more about his oil business than he does about fixing the defense of his football team. Yay! Good times. The hits just keep coming, and it can put fans in a dark place."
"The Cowboys are an adventure. For as long as I have been alive, that's never not been true. Everything about them garners attention, and it's been exponentially exacerbated since Jerry Jones bought the team in 1989. And while it's easy to fall into this belief that the Cowboys have an incompetent front office that will never amount to anything because they are led by an inept, power-hungry, wealthy old man, we should stop and think about this a little bit before drawing conclusions."
"Jerry's recent comments where he indicates he is more concerned about the potential gains of $100 billion worth of new oil than he is about fixing the Cowboys' defenseare pretty incriminating. And it's a slap in the face to Cowboys' fans who have to sit and watch their red carpet defense struggle week after week. Understandably, people are upset about this, but there are other elements here that should be taken into account before getting too out of sorts about this."
The Dallas Cowboys are enduring a tumultuous stretch marked by too few wins, minimal trade-deadline activity, and a struggling defense. Owner Jerry Jones publicly signaled greater concern for his oil business than remedying the defense, intensifying fan frustration and prompting thoughts of disengagement. The franchise continues to command outsized attention and remains an adventurous spectacle, a pattern amplified since Jones acquired the team in 1989. While many view the front office as incompetent and Jones as a wealthy, power-hungry figure, the team's history and the owner's business background introduce context that counsels against snap judgments and total abandonment of hope.
