Dallas has no class

(photo improvements courtesy of Brittanie)

Jerry Jones has ruined the reputation of the Dallas Cowboys. When Tom Landry was coaching Dallas, the organization had class. You could almost overlook that their cheerleaders looked like hookers. By today's standards, they are pretty conservative compared to other cheerleading squads. But Jerry Jones doesn't care about the image of a team or bringing class to his organization. He just wants to win and doesn't care what kind of hoodlum he has to bring on the field to do it. I couldn't believe it when I heard Jerry Jones wanted Terrell Owens to play for the Cowboys. He is a problem child...a stupid little boy with a bloated ego, nasty temper, and, in my opinion, his talent isn't worth putting up with all the junk he brings. His latest thug move of spitting in the face of his oponent should get him suspended. But it probably won't. Ya know in the real world if you spit in someone's face, you are arrested for assault. In the real world, if you stomp on someone's head with your cleats, you are arrested for assault. In the NFL world, at best you get a fine and suspended for a few games. The guy that stepped on his opponent's head should be fired and banned from football, in my opinion. Tom Landry would have kicked him off the team. But Jerry Jones has no class whatsoever and that is something his money will never buy him.

From head stomping to their big hoodlum baby spitting in the face of an Atlanta Falcons' player, it is plain to see why Dallas is no longer America's team. In the Tom Landry days, no matter who your favorite team was, you always wanted Dallas to win. They were the sweethearts of the NFL. Since Jerry Jones bought them, they are full of thugs and have no honor whatsoever. It is a sad thing to see.

Here's hoping Jerry Jones or anyone like him ever buys the Panthers. John Fox is alot like Tom Landry. He has dignity and class and wouldn't want Terrell Owens or a low life like him on his team. Winning is only part of being a good football team. There are kids looking up to these athletes as role models. What a scary thought that little boys across our country may be idolizing Terrell Owens!

***By the way, before anyone e-mails me, I'm perfectly aware that Jerry Jones is the owner and Tom Landry was a coach...not the owner. When Jerry Jones bought the cowboys he started acting like he was the coach. Everyone knows Bill Parcells would NEVER have chosen to have T.O. on his team. Bill Parcells also has class and can't stand having an
egomaniacal problem child that has no concept of teamwork and is all about himself on his team. Unfortunately, Jerry Jones doesn't care what the man coaching the team thinks....even though he isn't the one that has to work with that jerk....Bill Parcells is.
