Honestly how can any heterosexual male pull for a Jerry Jones Cowboys team? *

I don't know very many things that are less gay that hot women in scatily clad outfits and cowboy boots. And I was a Joe Montana/Jerry Rice/49ers fan as child, so no, I don't like the Cowboys.
I've been a lifelong Cowboys fan, long before Jerry bought the Cowboys and I'll be a fan long after he is dead and gone. Although I understand peoples dislike of the Cowboys (I hate the Yankees but mostly because of MLBs lack of salary cap as opposed to the actual organization/ownership), but I've never understood the specific hatred of Jerry. He's an owner that actually tries his damndist to win. What's so wrong with that? Do those that hate Jerry wish all owners were like the owners of the KC Royals???? Seriously, the new stadium cost 1.1 billion and Jerry sunk over 600 million of his own money into it. Would you rather it have been a mediocre stadium paid for with all tax payers money??? What is so terrible about an owner with a win at all monetary cost attitude?
What kept America's team from winning 5 or 6 Super Bowls, besides the fact that Jerruh is an egotistical asshat who couldn't take Jimmy Johnson was winning and taking glory from him, was the imposition of the Salary Cap. With that, a lot of good mid-level players like Ken Norton, Jr. and Russell Maryland, left for big-money contracts elsewhere while Jerruh locked down Aikman, Emmitt, and Irvin. Without the strong supporting cast, they couldn't make plays like they used to and the team slowly deteriorated.Fletch Fletcher said:
If Jerruh would put his ego in check, get out of the GM's desk, let football people run the team (a good start would be Mike Shanahan or Sean Payton as Head coach), and buy some lockdown Cover corners and a Left Tackle.
Valid point from a fellow Cowboys' fan, but that still doesn't answer the question why non-Cowboy fans hate Jerry. Random NFL fan hates Jerry because his ego hurts the Cowboys? Why would a non-Dallas fan have a problem with that? If the Jets (random team) had an owner that held them back, why would I care?
How can you not see why people hate Jerry Jones? He tries to run the entire team, he's all about himself, he fired a legendary coach and then the greatest coach during his tenure b/c he didn't want anyone to be "bigger" than him, he's always sticking his presence into places it doesn't belong (ie being on the sidelines during the game, micromanaging the staff, telling Phillips mid season to start calling the defense and demote his DC)... Basically, he's got a bigger ego than Steinbrenner and has the biggest "look at me" complex in all of sports.
But if that's such a detriment to the team, why do non-Cowboys fans care???? I think Sean Peyton makes horrible in game coaching decisions because of his ego, but I don't give a ****. It doesn't generate a passionate hatred for Peyton. I don't give a damn
Because collectively, Romo and Jerry are the face of the franchise. The most hated (and loved) franchise in the league.
And Tom Benson is any better? He's a cheapskate that has played the city of New Orleans for years for money and concessions. He lucked into getting a decent coach in Payton, but he'd as soon decimate a team (Dikta/Ricky) as have a serious contender. Jerry Jones is a grand moron, and he's a lousy GM. But the very last thing the Saints fans ever need to do is try and complain about owners. I guess after that beat down, nothing's left, is there.whatever said:
and i dont mind people raggin on jerry or whatever they wanna do because that is their opinion...
But when you say he fired a legendary coach and make it sound like he ran him out of town after winning a super bowl is just wrong. Tom Landry is still loved by all cowboys, even jerry himself, but you cant just say because hes a legend we should let him stick around forever. No one at Florida State had the balls to tell Bowden to step down and thats why their program is what it is. Its just like what they said before the game last night. Jerry was nervous because he didnt wanna have to make some of the changes that he would have to make had they lost last night. Granted the seasons not over and if we dont win in the playoffs he still may have to make some of those changes. Jerry Jones is an owner that cares about his team and wants to win, and is doing it at his own expense.

But I would take jerry over benson as an owner everyday... You can hate jerry for a lot of things but not giving a **** has never been one of them... I think benson has proved over and over that he doesn't give a **** about the saints or the city of new orleans...

of a team based on their cheerleaders, he needs to take a step back. Want to know which other team has amazingly hot cheerleaders? Every other team that has them...
Unintentional comedy gold. There are several NFL teams that match or exceed all of your list there.
Who the 17 is Betcher? And I'm still cracking up at a huge Cowboys fan who spells Roger Staubach's name as "Staughback".
