When most people think about the Dallas Cowboys they think America's Team. When I think about the Cowboys I think of one thing....Jerry Jones. The last thing I should be thinking about is the team owner but after watching another Cowboys loss Sunday vs the Chargers I had to write about this. The Cowboys haven't won a playoff game in over a decade and our in the midst of another December collapse and missing out on the playoffs for the second straight season. During these losses Fox Sports continuously shows footage of Jones pacing throughout his expensive suite. My issue with the Cowboys is I believe they are all glitz and glamour and an average football team. During Sundays game vs the Chargers fans could watch the game wearing 3-D glasses. The fans are also sitting in a brand new ultra expensive stadium in which there are dancers on every level of the place. The new Cowboys stadium is awesome I will give it that, but completely unnecessary. Does there need to be a giant TV screen when people are already at the game. In my opinion the new Cowboys stadium is more like Cedar Point. The Cowboys and Jerry Jones need to worry about winning actual football games and not playing in an amusement park. I think its a joke that the Cowboys are considered Americas Team. What about the Patriots, Colts, or Steelers?
You have picked another (former) favorite of mine in writing about the Cowboys. However, I do not consider the one-time "America's Team" to be worthy of that moniker under Jerry Jones. When he came in and fired the legendary Tom Landry, he lost my whole-hearted support. I was still a fan when Troy Aikman was there, but it is hard to root for the franchise that has become what you have aptly described as a 'circus.'
