Certainly not. I think Mama Purdy might have a few words with him if he started tanning his perineum, raving about Ayahuasca, and going on four day darkness retreats.

Jerry needs to die first. Dak is like Romo, good but not good enough.

I know this has been addressed already, and the old rules of which games go on which networks no longer apply, but I just wanted to point out that under the old setup (NFC on Fox, AFC on CBS; or going further back, NFC on CBS and AFC on NBC) for inter-conference games it was the visiting team that determined which network had it, not the home team.
It's going to be worse when he dies. He's going to leave it to one of his kids, aka a less accomplished version of Jerry.
my fandom for cowboys is slowly fading.
jerry jones is a bug eyed pos.
dak isn't special
same thing ol thing every year.
got my purdy niners shirt in the mail last week, wore it sunday and he goes 20/21. dont think that coincidental.
im leaning cheering towards the niners next week when cowgirlz come to town
Wait…….is this bad? Doesn’t everyone do it?
As I get older I enjoy watching high level players. I watched Brock yesterday when in the past I would have never watched the 40 whiners.
It'll be like the Raiders after Al died or the Yankees after The Boss died.
I don't know if USSSA has killed participation but it's definitely changed the demographics of who's playing baseball. Baseball was already an expensive sport compared to Football or Basketball adding in the club fees hasn't really helped with that. What we've got now is a group of more affluent, mostly white kids playing with private coaches and the like. What ends up happening is those more affluent suburban school have 100 kids show up for Freshman baseball when 10-12 ever end up playing so if you're not one of those 10 kids who play you go find another travel team. We don't see this so much in Iowa since the high school season overlaps with most travel ball in the summer but it's a real thing. The club sports model has taken over baseball from being a school sport.
Romo was a good QB. But Jerry was just an idiot in terms of putting a full roster together. Dak is just plain bad. Dak is incapable of "looking off" defenders; he passes directly where he's looking and safeties know it (Purdy is so good at looking-off db's).

This was legion ball in the 70s/80s/90s. Nothing really has changed, just more 'travel' / 'elite' team creation.
Same with AAU basketball.
My son has played baseball since he was 8 on a USSSA feeder team and will be on the high school JV team next spring. There are times when I wanted to go postal on everyone associated with his team. The fiefdoms, the glaring favoritism, the pressure to specialize and the rising costs to participate. The only options as parents are to either donate enough money to gain influence or take over a team as a coach and dedicate hours equivalent to a full time job.
I've lived that and ended up coaching for 8 years between my two boys. I don't know what the answer is but I don't think the system as it sits today is sustainable. There's a lot of travel teams that take things way to seriously and I was like pump the brakes they're 12 and you're playing AA level USSSA but on the other hand a lot of the rec teams are kids who's parents just want to get rid of them for a few hours a week and they don't want to be there.
I coach my sons USSSA team. Finding families (not just players) that are good fits for your team is crucial.
It was a great day when our sons were done with travel baseball. It was also a great day when high school baseball was over with even though they made it to the state tournament. For all the reasons above.
