It never ceases to amaze me...

According to Dr. Z -

"Say what you want about the Cowboys' Jerry Jones, but wouldn't you want to have a guy like him in your corner? During the offseason he left an owners' meeting early to fly east for a late contract negotiation with former Jets nose tackle Jason Ferguson. The Jets offered Ferguson $8 million in front and it was almost a done deal before Jones swung it by coming in at $9 million.

He's 30 and he's had weight problems through the years (that's Ferguson, not Jones), but he's the one guy Bill Parcells felt he had to have to make his new 3-4 defense work. So Jones gave the guy the VIP treatment. We're not talking about a glamour position here; we're talking about an owner-nose tackle sitdown. Contrast this, please, with a character such as Dan Snyder, whose team keeps drafting quarterbacks because he likes, as he's said, "sexy" picks."


Jerry Jones gives an older vet first class treatment to get him signed w/ a big old signing bonus and somehow its f***ing brilliant, but, when Danny Boy does it, its just mindless showboating.

I am sure Gibbs had NOTHING to do with the Campbell pick - you know the owner just flaking out again. Also, didnt Z crucify LDS and gang when they signed Springs??

It's one thing to say "Well they've sucked for a while, so they got to show me something before I'll acknowledge that they have turned things around."

It's another for Z to praise one owner (Jerry freaking Jones - of all people) for conduct (paying big bucks and giving first class treatment to ensure the signing of an older veteran player) almost identical to Snyder's conduct (Can anyone say "Redskins One"??) for which he only had scorn (hmmm - Randy Thomas anyone?) AND then to throw in a gratuitous dig for conduct (trading up to draft a player THE COACHES wanted) unrelated to the conduct he found praiseworthy in Jones. Hell, if anything - the Campbell pick shows how supportive of Gibbs Danny is. Remember, Ramsey was originally an ALL Snyder pick! AND - wasn't Snyder's "I like sexy picks" made a couple years ago and not even related to the Skins picking Campbell ??

God, these guys just piss me off.
