On a November visit to Back to the record with Bob CostasCowboys owner Jerry Jones said the NFL can’t complain about scrutiny when the NFL welcomes interest.
“We are going out of our way to Ask people to take a look at the NFLJones said at the time. “Stop looking away, look at the NFL. We want you to enjoy the nuances of the game. In fact, on a personal basis, the more transparency, the more behind the scenes, the more involved you are, for me, the more you enjoy the game. I think when we ask that For the country to be as interested in professional football as you are, you have to expect these kinds of questions.”
Jones has been more vocal about his belief that even bad news is good for business in recent comments by Peter King of Football morning in America.
“Let me tell you a story,” Jones told King. “A few years after I bought the team, I went out to Los Angeles to have lunch with David Hill and Ed Gorn of Fox. At the time, there was a lot of negative headlines about the Cowboys. Michael Irvin was in the headlines. People are saying, “The owner is out About the law!” And I told them that day, “I’m cracking down on this privilege. We will control this team.
And David Hale jumped. He said no! Don’t touch my children! They are gone TV! Don’t even think about it!”
Why would Fox find such a combination of negativity attractive?
“The shortcomings, the serials, the issues,” Jones said. “They create interest. Add in The Senior Bowl, The Combine, Free Agency, Draft, Bootcamp, we always get something going. People follow us year round. The owner every now and then comes into the newspaper. It just adds to the interest, all of that.” People love it.”
Jones entered the newspaper several times in the off-season, for reasons that weren’t very good. Caesar left PR for a long time suddenly, and it wasn’t long after that we found out that Rich Dalrymple’s departure was apparently linked to… voyeur scandal Involving members of the cheerleading squad – an incident that was not investigated by the league, despite a $2.4 million settlement being paid. After that, a woman sued Jones He claims to be her father. More recently, John Schnatter, Jones’ close friend, the former CEO of Papa John’s, was very vocal last month about his belief that Jones and Washington owner Daniel Snyder wanted Schnatter to help them. Get Commissioner Roger Goodell to be fired At the height of the national anthem controversy in 2017.
However, Jones believes that all attention is good attention. Obviously not everyone in the NFL system agrees. Over the years, we’ve had a lot of complaints about the stories we’ve covered or the opinions we’ve clarified from the league’s office and, at one time or another, from most teams.
However, the cowboys never complained. Once upon a time, there was a picture of Coach Jason Jarrett that captured him with Crazy look with heavy eyes on his face. The cowboy kindly asked us not to use it again.
Other than that, nothing. Not a complaint. Not a word. Not a peep.
Good or bad, Jones embraces all the attention that is being directed to the NFL. Perhaps he is into something. Despite various controversies over the past twenty years (as recorded in game makers), the NFL is bigger, better, and more financially successful than ever before.
