What Jerry Jones. Robert Kraft and Dan Snyder Can Teach Us About Leadership
And other observations about our modern NFL owners and coaches
Not. A. Fucking. Thing.
Good. Now that I have gotten that out of the way….
Warning. This is an unapologetic rant about my favorite sport. I have skin in the game (pun intended) and I care about the only sport that can get me to sit on my ass for multiple hours on a Sunday. Mind you, I’m on my bike on a trainer, but still sitting on my ass for hours.
As is always the case in the NFL, teams with embarrassing losing records kick out their coaches. Or, even if they do have a winning record (Jimmy Johnson, anyone? But I’m ahead of myself) they can be canned, given the mercurial stupidity of the owners.
The Packers, always and forever in search of the next Lombardi, dumped Mike McCarthy. He is now the latest in a long line of soon-to-be-loser coaches for the monumentally ignorant Jerry Jones, who for a million different reasons is a cancer in the NFL.
But for his money, his butt would have been bounced a long time ago, if anyone who cared about the game- or the once-great-Cowboys- gave a flying shit. I stopped caring about the ‘Boys right about the time Troy Aikman retired.
