Jerry Jones Missed His Calling

With the Dallas Cowboys suffering a rash of injuries to the receiving corp and effectively depleting all depth, the release of both Danny Amendola and Mike Jefferson leaves one, not only shaking their head, but also wondering what the Cowboys leadership is thinking. I say that only because the official word from your head Hero, ie. Jerry Jones, was that they had no interest in picking up any veteran potentially available from other teams.

I guess that in order to understand these moves, you need to let Tank Johnson use you as a tackling dummy for 10-15 minutes. But I doubt that any amount of head shakin', head scratchin' and head buttin' will begin to get the cranial cavity to functioning enough to approach, within a galaxy or two, any stray logical process regarding these two moves.

With that said, I am forced to back up a certain amount and take another stab at an explanation. I say that I'm forced to because I must admit that there's a trend that I've noticed with Jerry Jones for quite awhile. Prior tendencies aside, this activity has seemed to escalate of late, specifically since Bill Parcells headed south. It's an activity directly related to the Truth. In fact, it has to do with speaking the Truth. To be more specific, not speaking the Truth.

What purpose is served by announcing unequivocally that you absolutely have no interest in another veteran receiver, then immediately cutting your only two remaining receivers on the team? And at the same time, stating that you just don't know anything about Terry Glenn. I realize that this could be, and probably is, just a coy way of throwing other teams off track when it comes to guessing what your true plans are, especially if you're in the midst of working out a deal with a player and especially if that player is an available veteran, maybe Terry Glenn. Do they really think, though, that the front office personnel of other teams can't figure this out. Do they really think that we, as fans, are that stupid? Do we really think they care?

Maybe Jerry enjoys exercises in futility. Maybe Jerry enjoys having the rest of the management and coaches participate in covert football operations, ala Bill Belichek. Maybe, Maybe, Maybe!!!!!! Which makes the point! Why not speak, at least a little, more plainly? It definitely makes things more simple. And maybe, instead of feeling the need to spout some amount of misinformation or propaganda, don't say anything.

Now there's a thought! Can you imagine that? Jerry Jones silent??!!!!????!!!!????

Silence has never been a Jerry Jones forte. Just ask Tom Landry. Which makes it all the more important to speak with a certain amount of credibility. If you must make people listen to you, make it worth their time and effort.

But if you can't, and Jerry doesn't seem to be able to reach the lofty heights of straight talk, he needs to take a short trip to Austin Texas. They have this elite group of professionals called the Texas Supreme Court. They preside over the organization called the Texas BAR Association and probably have a membership card waiting for him as we speak.

That way, Jerry can meet his true calling head on. He can receive a license to practice Law, thus officially and legally enabling him to speak out of both sides of his mouth.
