If you watch much ESPN and NFL network, you would think they spend 25% of coverage on one team--Dallas.  Even during the draft, Jerry takes the full time on the clock when nobody is on the phones.  He sets up his draft room like some dictator's banquet hall.  He does stuff to get his team on TV--in other words.  Now, Deion put Colorado on the map and he dominated the headlines in college football for a team in the top 20--barely.  He is not a great coach; he recruited through the portal and talked 25 players or so to transfer. 

For Jerry, it is not about the game of football; it is about the show of football.  Yes, he'd like to win, but his ego gets in the way. 

If he lucks out and this move is successful, he looks like a genius--if it fails, he blames his coach.  I think Jones would do this--

The problem with it isn't about it being successful or failing, it's what happens if they BOTH happen?

What does Jerry do if Shedeur is amazing but Deion is an awful coach, or if Deion is an amazing coach but Shedeur is shitting the bed and it's clear very fast that he needs to be replaced?

You're tied to them both and if you need to replace one, you are going to need to replace both as there's no way you can get rid of one while the other one stays.  If you cut/trade Shedeur, Deion is going to quit.  If you fire Deion, Shedeur is going to hold out and demand a trade.

And these days, how many coaches are able to stick around for 10+ years with one team like you hope the QB you draft will be there?

It's almost like the best case scenario for them is that they do well for a few years and when you have to fire Deion to bring in a real NFL HC, Shedeur is good enough to get you a good return in a trade.

I've been listening to a Michael Lewis podcast "Against the Rules" -- season 4 deals with the sports gambling industry.  Essentially Cowboy fans are known to place such stupid bets that the online betting sites use that to skew the odds even more in their favor.

I just googled it and yes, the Cowboys are still currently the most valuable team in the world, and by a decent amount, they're worth $10.1 Billion while #2 is the Warriors at $8.8 Billion.

Also seeing the list, how the fug are the Rams the 3rd most valuable sports team in the world?

I get why the Cowboys got there in the 90's, but I'm shocked they're still #1 on that list, they seem less relevant than ever.

The rams play in LA where 10 mil people live - it’s the largest market in the country.  It doesn’t hurt that they won a Super Bowl recently.  

Theres nothing east about Dallas but Jones has wielded his power with the nfl  to make sure his team is in a division with rivals that have some of the largest market shares in the nfl and play in the best prime time spots.  They are always in the spotlight for better or worse.  He makes moves like this that are absurd football wise but media wise pay huge dividends.  Hes great at keeping the brand relevant.  He bought the team for 140 mil and now it’s worth over 10 bil.  I hate the cowboys and even more their fans but you gotta give the guy his due… Jerry Jones is a brilliant marketing strategist.

Then why is there a thread on a Panthers fan forum about them? lol

Not enough to make it worth it as they’d still need to move up again.

Cant see how they’d make it worth our while when they’re only 4 spots behind us already, they’d be better off just loading up an offer to move all the way up to where they need to get

I would be surprised if Sanders goes before 8. There's talk that he may not go in the 1st at all. Dallas can probably get him without moving up but Jerry doesn't need to know that.

Great points--the Cowboys are as close to reality TV as I have seen, and that seems fine with Jerry.  He wants to win, but I wonder if the distractions are just to keep people watching.

Teams aren't going to want to take Dak's awful contract.  They definitely aren't going to get any value back by trading him.  Not this offseason especially.   No way a team gives a first for the opportunity to take that giant contract for a qb that is a little above average.  I believe the Dallas offense statistically was better overall with Rush in at qb and they won more games.

On the open market it would fetch way more then that I would imagine just on brand alone.  Problem is there are only a handful of people in the world that could afford that

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...

      I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
