Open Letter to Jerry Jones



Dear Jerry,

I’m a lifelong Cowboys fan.  I think what you’ve done for the team is amazing.  That stadium is simply thing of beauty.  You’ve successfully managed to position the franchise as one of the most popular in sports period.  Not to mention doing so while that same franchise hasn’t won its championship in nearly 20 years.  Your business acumen is seemingly impeccable.  But this football stuff is a different beast.  Now I know you won a National Championship as a Razorback, and by all accounts, were a decent ball player.  But like I said, this is a different beast. 
I guess what I’m saying is, stay in your lane homie!  I don’t want to hear your football opinion on my pregame broadcast.  I don’t want to hear the team’s game plan as explained by the old oil money man.  Just like I don’t want to hear trading tips from the long snapper.  Play your position man.  If you wanna talk about the profit forecast, or the marketing strategy, do that, but keep your football commentary to yourself.  When the reporter asks you about how much the team plans to lean on the run game, say: “Sir/Madam I don’t know, I just sign the checks.  Ask the coach!”  That’s all we need from you.  Maybe the occasional “Go Cowboys!” soundbite, BUT THAT’S IT!  If you do that, even 2 times out of 10, the football gods might bless the team with a positive turnover differential.


Sincerely,

Lost1
