AP what the hades is wrong with you man? Minnesota now has Mike Zimmer as your HC & Norv Turner as your OC & a brand new stadium in the pipeline man.

 

You "dream to play for the Cowboys?" Are you insane?! Dude, the Cowboys have sucked for almost 20 years now...Order a CAT scan ASAP...The Vikings are rising man why go to the dungeon with Dallas?

 

Even as a joke it's not funny man seriously.

 

Stop trying to make Jerry Jones feel better. While noble on the surface, it's dangerous & counterproductive feeding the attention junkie like the sign at the zoo says "please don't feed the animals. Thank you."

I don't think that's tampering...

Adrian initiated the conversation...Jerry said what you'd expect

Peterson is under long term contract with Minnesota isn't he?

Jones didn't report it to the Vikings brass

[oldunclemark]

But he isn't culpable.....He didn't do anything....Adrian made the call

Its not at all serious...

To tamper...you'd have to act..he didnt

Okay, maybe so PT perhaps AP was feeling homesick temporarily, but you never depart a franchise on the rise for another 1 in the doldrums. It's like siren songs in folklore tales, no matter how sweet they may indeed sound at the end of the day you are still gonna crash into the rocks & drown.

 

Translation: Dallas is not paradise or the 1990's era powerhouse team anymore. That swan song has left the building years ago & she's not returning with the keys glory anytime soon I'm afraid.

Given the rest of  his off season antics and the usual stand up job he's done as a GM can I vote this topic is retitled to Jerry Jones could be in more trouble.

 

Not entirely sure on the rules but I think he's culpable for not reporting the conversation to the relevant people even if he didn't initiate it.

:woah: :woah: :woah:

 

 

If this is true, wow. Is Jerry trying to top himself from when he forced Jimmy Johnson to resign?

 

It's like this guy is on some kind of mission to see how far he can sink that team into the ground.

 

Just thinking about Romo and Peterson on the same team would have been a nightmare....except for his defense. Thank you Jerry for letting us have Rob Ryan, we really appreciate it, you don't know how much.

This guy is a mess of an owner. Trust me, living in Maryland we have had some great examples of horrific hands on owners namely Bob Irsay, Peter Angelo's, and Dan Synder. Jones 's Waterloo , as stated earlier, was the *ic decision to fire Jimmy Johnson. Peter Angelo's did this with the Orioles firing Davey Johnson in 1997, leading the O's to fourteen straight losing seasons. He must have had a brief period of lucidity , as he has hired Buck Showalter and Dan Ducquette. That is what Jones has to do, step back, and let real football people run the show.
