Does this mean the curse is over?

I think all Dallas fans are aware of the Jimmy and the Ring, but I don't think many are familiar with a supposed "curse".

A curse makes no sense to me either with Dallas winning a ring 2 years after Jimmy left. Did the curse officially start 3 years later?

Jimmy was coaching the Dolphins and wasn’t eligible for the HOF or ROH. He deserved to be in n the ROH from the moment he retired. The fact that Jerry refused to put him in is the reason for the curse … allegedly.

I mean, that would actually be kind of freaky if Dallas shocked the NFL and won a ring this season after Jimmy was put in.

I don’t care what “reason” Jerry is using to finally do what he should have done a long, long time ago.

Personally - I think the Rangers winning the World Series moved the needle but I’m a Jerry skeptic in long standing and view him as a petty old goat who can’t stand the other local teams having a moment in the sun that they can call their own but that’s just me.

OR… he got some bad news from his doctor and finally made the decision to induct Jimmy before either of them die.

He's 81... he knows any day could be his day.

Better late than never. I'm glad these two were able to put their diffences behind them and celebrate the great success they had.

Way way way too many Cowboy fans look back at all that with negativity. When in reality it was one the greatest dynasties ever created. And they both deserve credit, niether could have done it without the other.

Return to Dallas Cowboys
