Explain.

Jerry Jones deserves credit for hiring Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells. It was visionary to hire Jimmy Johnson, as most thought Johnson was going to be overmatched. However, this is where the crdit ends. It was Johnson, not Jones, who made the critical football decisions that brought the Cowboys back from the abyss. Jerry posed nicely for the camera and inserted himself into the Cowboys draft room as a publicity stunt. Was is it his right to do this?....absolutely, he's the owner, but as far as making decisions on personnel....he did not have nearly the knowledge base of Jimmy Johnson nor the scouting department.In my opinion, that Cowboys team, when weighed against what could have happened if Jimmy had stayed, ultimately underachieved. The talent was there to redefine dominance in modern pro football, to eclipse the four titles in ten year threshold set by the Steelers and Niners. They were, after 1993, both the youngest and best team in the NFL. I know, true free agency had just emerged and the Cowboy team felt intense scrutiny, but all the pieces were in place for extended dominance. We all know what happened...Switzer took over, won a title w/ Jimmy's team, and the Cowboys have never fully recovered.IMO, it was Jerry who fired Jimmy because of two factors A) He's an insecure man who cannot bear the idea that the public views him as an ancillary component of the team's success and B) He's a bad drunk who runs his mouth while intoxicated. Didn't he once claim while on a bender that there were 500 coaches who could win with the talent HE put together for Jimmy Johnson?So, in context with this latest drunk incident...that's why he's a horrific owner...he can't share credit and thus, makes decisions that hurt his team, and than, combined w/ being a bad drunk leads him to terrible decisions, which is why Dallas will never win big again. This is not the end of the drunken stupidity for Jones.

Whomever orchestrated the Herschel Walker deal was what made the Cowboys great. Jimmy Johnson was/is way overrated, wow he knew to pick Emmitt Smith from his home state. Jimmy did squat in Miami with normal circumstances, squat.

ESPN is tabloid garbage.

Obviously this is want the majority of their market wants, but ESPN becomes more like TMZ and less like the old ESPN every year. Half the time when I do turn on Sportscenter I find myself thinking that it seems more like the #### my girlfriend watches.

If Jimmy Johnson is go good then why did the Dolphins suck so bad when he was there, the team if JJJJ worked well together.
