Is the Jerry chasin' it?

Rome made an interesting point today. He compared Jerry Jones to a gambling addict chasing his losses. An extreme compulsive personality. Someone who cannot control himself. In this case, buying players.

First, lets review some recent history.

-Signed Adam "Pacman" Jones. In my opinion is second only to Michael Vick on the controversy meter. Was suspended for a year by the commish. Just got suspended for 4 games (and depending on when he has to get re-instated again, maybe more.) Not to mention, may be (you know "allegedly") responsible for:

• Spitting on 2 different women, on different occasions
• Obstruction of justice
• Grabbing a stripper by the hair and slamming her head against the stage (Las Vegas shooting incident)
• Threatening to kill a man (L.V. shooting incident)
• Conspiracy to commit various crimes

It has also been confirmed that Jones has been a distraction to the Cowboys organization by other players. He has only participated in 6 games for the Cowboys.

The pros of having Jones: Hes an above average punt returner and an above average corner back.

-Signed Tank Johnson. Might not have as many legal troubles on his jacket as Jones, but he's no angel. He was also suspended by the league, and has served jail time for crimes committed during his time as an NFL player. A player who has 77 tackles in 5 years, and averages a sack a year.

-Signed Zach Thomas. Good pick up. Is this a star name pick up though? A Jerry impulse buy? I'm guilty of this during fantasy drafts if I'm not sure of someone who is higher up on a projected list.

-Picked up Roy Williams yesterday. So you're stud QB goes down for a few weeks, and one of your corners gets suspended. Your other stud CB is sidelined with injuries. You're star wide receiver is already bitching about throws to him. So the first thing you think about is getting another star type WR who feeds off touches? For 3 draft picks no less. I've seen this "win now at all costs mentality"... it was called the New York Yankees over the last few years. It hasn't worked.

This leads me to believe that Jerry Jones is not a very effective owner when it comes to building a team. This also makes me feel good inside. Although, these signings give the Cowboy fans these false feelings of security when bragging about their team, which is very annoying.

While I'm listing reasons why Jerry Jones sucks, let me start listing other things the Cowboys piss me off about.

• It is widely acknowledged that one of the intentions for the Cowboys new football stadium was to ensure that the only Superbowl's in Texas will be hosted in Dallas.
• It is widely accepted that Cowboys upper management believe a "circus, reality TV-type" atmosphere helps the franchise.
• T.O. cried on national television after a loss that he should have sucked up.
• T.O. probably knew what he was doing with that whole "committing suicide incident."
• T.O. has verbally assaulted both quarterbacks he's had relationships with (after the fact no less!) before coming to the Cowboys, but cries for a quarterback to "stand up for him."
• Signed a guy who actually thinks a strip club is a "script club."
• Same guy thinks the proper use for being rebellious is "being rebellion."

Sad to say it, but I will feel no sympathy for that man when his skeletor body finally fails him. Hopefully someone takes that franchise over soon and makes it respectable. I'll still hate the fucking team, but maybe I can shut this blog thing down.
