Prostitution definitely takes place on Harry Hines just not that part.

Yeah. No one here confuses that part of Harry Hines with the Walnut Hill/Royal Lane sector of Harry Hines do they?

I don’t see it that way at all. Jerry has always prided himself on being a gambler. He’s even referred to himself as a “Wildcatter”. He’s never been scared to mortgage the teams future by trading away premium draft picks for Star players and definitely never been scared to blame out huge (and stupid) contracts to free agents.
Somewhere around 2014 that all changed though. Stephen took a bigger role with the finances and Will McClay took over the scouting and drafting of players. Jerry is basically just the face of the franchise. He’s the frontman. Stephen at this point though is pulling the strings.

I won't say that Jerry has completely divested himself of being the voice & face of the franchise (you didn't either) but I agree completely with you about Stephen. He has a far more significant voice in the daily operations of this thing and the time parameters you mentioned are spot on. No one will ever stop Jerry from making those noises he makes when a microphone is shoved in front of him. But when we listen to Stephen, more and more we hear his dad with the gibberish that comes out of his mouth and ESPECIALLY when he talks about cap space & team finances.

When he has a trade in place he does look for an okay from not only Jerry but from also the Offensive Line coach and the others. But all in all if there is only one person in charge here it is Stephen.
I think when we argue over who is in charge of picks a lot of the time it turns into a black and white convo when the reality is that there is no ONE person in charge. A big board is created by an entire group of people. Dating back before Jimmy even. And all involved in the meetings are being swayed and informed from multiple scouts. The reality of drafting is that it is ALWAYS the result of a group effort and never just one individual.
Another interesting facet of this video is that Shy Anderson is seen involved. (Jerry's grandson)
Shy is probably being groomed to be next in line after Stephen.

Thank you. Some in here can't see what has been in front of their eyes for 20 years and running. I'm sure Jerry will be on local and national media 4 more times this week with the State of Cowboys Union addresses to sell his losing garbage to the Cowboy dullards.

Good luck Cooper Rush....Good luck Cowboys.Why,because it looks like they will be relying on luck this season.
No discipline...still taking a bunch of false start penalties on Sunday.When Smith went down that was it.Dak looked terrible because he knew Smith wouldn,t be there to protect his blindside on Sunday.No Amari Cooper...another safety net for Dak gone....thats 2 big ones.
The best chance they had to win a SB was 2015 with Dez,and then they got robbed in GB.
They led the league in Rushing with Demarco Murray,and had the best O-line in the league for Romo.
They also had a shot with Dak,but he got hurt.
Until Cooper,and Gregory left,I thought they were doing an okay job with personnel,but not anymore.Letting Gregory,and Cooper go made no **** sense at all,so its going to be another **** all year-imo.
Good luck Cooper Rush....Good luck Cowboys!

Jerry would fight it tooth and nail but if the Dallas mayor is successful in his pitch to bring another NFL team to Dallas I really think that team would have a very solid fan base. There are a lot of people in Dallas that feel the same way BJJ does and have completely written off the Cowboys because of Jerry. Plus the mayors plan is for the team to have a stadium actually within the Dallas city limits. The question is would it be a new franchise or would an existing team move to Dallas, if so which team?

If I lived in Dallas (instead of 60 miles north) and my mayor was advocating updating Fair park and using the Cotton Bowl to lure another team or razing the old Convention Center for a new arena to lure another franchise or building a baseball park to lure another MLB team here instead of simple things that benefit the city like fixing roads that are a complete mess, I think I'd be looking for a new mayor. Because Eric Johnson is an idiot.
