My epitaph for Cowboy season..waited on this one

I use to be a die hard fan and still fight not being one. Got upset when they lost to the Redskins. Actually been trying not to comment on their season, but sooner or later the bug hits me.

One reason I waited is because of the death of one of the players this year and the culture that is going on that lets this happen.

The best way to describe it for me is if you are the owner of a team and had the same General Manager for over 15 years, and it has been over 15 years since your last Championship, and that GM has been through 5 or more coaches, and still nothing, whose fault is it? In most other organizations that GM would be long gone. Yep, it is no secret Mr Jones may be a great businessman, but he knows nothing about football. He had Parcells for awhile and chased him off. Coach Parcells almost got us back on track, but Mr Jones meddling destroyed that progress. And I have nothing against the other coaches that have been with the Cowboys. I lay the blame for everything on GM Jones.

If you are in the midst of a possible playoff run, why is it your players are out partying till all hours of the night. The Cowboys suffered a great tragedy this year and I hate pointing that out, but it is the culture that Mr Jones lets slide that possibly led to this tragedy. I do not blame the coach because the coach (whoever it may be) is always end run by the GM.

Over and over again, year in and year out, there seems to be some crazy behavior by the players. And there has been one person in charge for the entire time. And as a life long fan it irks me that nothing can be done. Every other organization in the league does not have the consistent personnel problems that the Cowboys have. Yes there are some incidents throughout the league, but for a team that is suppose to be a top notch organization, the Cowboys have had way too many.

If you live in Dallas it is no secret that Jones is completely out of touch with creating a successful team. Sports talk stations have probably already beat my point to a pulp. I use to listen to them, but due to lack of time and then frustration with the Cowboys I can't bear to hear anything. Truth can hurt like crap some days. So I know I am not saying anything new, but since it got to the point where we have lost three season ending games that kept us out of the playoffs the last few years I had to get it out of my system.

So is there any adventurous lawyer out there who wants to sue the Cowboy ownership for incompetence based on the idea that the Cowboys ( or any sports franchise) is owned by more than the owner. Or better phrased can the owner be held accountable to the fans for his mistakes that basically affects more than the business, but a whole community. Sports franchises are businesses and a person who has a business can make mistakes and go out of business, but I am thinking that a sports franchise has a indirect ownership by the fans and they have a right to a better product when the business ownership is completely lost as to the product. Not too many courts probably will take this because of rights etc, but at some point when an owner is so lost for so long, isn't there an argument that the community has some rights since they invest in the team not only with money, but psychologically as well. The community benefits when the team does well, so shouldn't they have some say when it goes south for this long. And not because of the lack of championships, but the character of the team. IT is hard to win a championship, but it is possible to have a competitive team whose make up is not a sore spot for the community. And saying this I am definitely not blaming the players. It is the ownership that allows a culture of irresponsibility year end and year out that is the problem.

Again, if you are in the midst of a possible playoff run shouldn't the team be focused, and if not, and it happens year in and year out, there is only one person to blame. The person that is there year in and year out.

Anyway long suffering fan wanting to change the management, which I think about 90% of Dallas is ready to see.

And a final note;Shame some coaches lost a job etc, because one person's ego is so disconnected from reality that the truth is no where in sight.
