Together with owner Jerry Jones. Jerry has a lot of money invested in his team. Only to see Year after Year, that he gets no invitation to the Big Dance.
Yeah, poor Jerry! All he gets to do in the off season is go to the bank and count his millions! I really feel sorry for ole Jerry!

I watched the game between the Cowboys and the Seahawks yesterday, and it was a horribly played game. It was a must win for them, and a home game. Ezekiel Elliot's return was null and void. No running game was established whatsoever. It appears the same thing will be said again about the Cowboys. "Wait till Next Year." It matters not who their Quarterback is. The Cowboys have missed the playoffs in 6 of the last 8 Seasons.
Well I don't know what you watched but I got a split of 60/40. Sixty percent advertising and forty percent football and it seems to be getting worse each year. Another thing that is troubling is the referees. It's easy to kind of root for your team but when you watch a game that you just watch for the fun of watching and you see with your unclouded mind the calls that these clowns are making you begin to wonder, is a fix on? In the old days the announcers never questioned the call or if they did they would be gone next week but today with instant replay you see and hear the difference all the time. If you don't think this is really possible all you have to do is to go back and look at what one ref did in the NBA. The money that the players are paid is ridicules. But that's OK because the NFL players union is already saying that there may be no season in 2020 unless the NFL pays them the same that the NBA is paying their players. I enjoy watching European Football, soccer.

I have to agree with you on the questionable calls by referees. The latest idiot call was the "Incomplete completed pass" that cost the Steelers a touchdown against the Patriots, as well as the game! The NFLs explanation confirmed the completed reception! a fumble inside the end zone once the ball breaks the plain is just that, a fumble, and belongs to whoever recovers it, in this case the receiver recovered it......touchdown anywhere except against the golden boy Brady and his Patriots. Yep, the fix was in for sure.

So right! Not a fan of the Steelers having grown up in a "rival" town but that was what I am talking about. That play put me over the edge. Catch , control, touch the goal line, TOUCHDOWN, but not when you are playing the golden boy with all his friends wearing the black and white and I don't mean the Raiders! But you know "MT" that was only one of so many questionable calls made this year. More questions about management, please tell me why Dallas being on the 2 yard line didn't give the ball to their prized running back and they're not the only team to be doing this kind of thing. Look at Seattle in the Super Bowl against New England and having two down to run 1 yard into the end zone for a sure victory with Lynch instead ran a pass play that gave the game away. What happened with the Falcons in the second half, fell asleep or a fix. I've just about given up on the NFL and now go out and do what we all talk about here and that is to have fun with photography. Have a Happy and prosperous New Year!

I too watched the Cowboys game. Did anyone see the owner, Mr. Jones get up and leave his box when it was obvious that the Cowboys would loose the game? Not the first time he walked out before a game ended. I remember seeing him on the sidelines when it appeared his team would win, only to have him disappear when a last minute interception resulted in a lose. Just a sad commentary about the team owner.

If the NFL's "crazy uncle" ( Jerry Jones) would hire someone to run his team instead of himself they might win.
Massive egos always lose in the end.
Go Niners.

The 49ers got New England's backup Quarterback. And he could bring back the prominence of the Joe Montana, Steve Young era. Jerry Jones will always make money on the Namesake of his team, whether he loses or wins. He is the only NFL owner who has a Press Conference after every game. That also helps to massage his ego.

In response to black horse 1-7, i too saw Jerry Jones leave his box quite Po'ed and I told my wife that I would bet none of the coaches will be back for another year. I do not know what idiot would take the position but I am sure he will find one

What I don't seem to understand is why do they now always have to go to New York City to get a read on a penalty. Why and what do the refs on the field get paid to do?? Oh I forgot, they now all carry a white (so we can see it) 3x5 card to check for first downs but be very leery of a ref that is giving you a SH*# eating grin while he is making a measurement.
