Simply the greatest organization in league history, and we have another example of it right here.

As a lifelong Steelers fan who hates the Cowboys and despises Jones, I have to give him credit for staying classy.

As an Eagles fan who loves nothing more than to bash Jerry Jones and the Cowboys at every turn… I really can’t say anything negative to this.

Jerruh got this one right. Respect.

MF,

Where is the list of teams, who did and who didn’t cut back?

That’s because Jerry is probably paying his undocumented workers 10 cents an hour.

Another point….. owners like Jerry are making money they wouldnt normally make right now. Think of the millions that are paid out usually by now in signing free agents, & draft picks.

MILLIONS in signing bonuses, etc. Actual dollars leaving the owners’ checking accounts. They will eventually have to write those checks but….. until they do, the owners are earning interest on those dollars. What do you think the interest on say 30-40 million is for even a month..? let alone a few months..? Safe to say, it much more than most of us make in a year.

At 68, Jerry Jones could probably whip any other owner’s ass, not to mention at least 75% of PFT Planet. One of the very few team owners in NFL history that have had a decent level of success as a football player (he was, in fact, co-captain of the 1964 National Champion Arkansas Razorbacks).

Jerry deserves some respect for keeping all the non football player employees, on staff & at full wages.

At the same time, its no wonder. He hasnt lost any money yet. Season ticket holders have already paid for the 2011 season tickets. They were due May 1st.

An owner like Jerry Jones doesnt lose a dime until we start missing games. My point is, although a noble gesture, nobody needs to break their arm patting him on the back yet…

““This train is going to get there; I just want to be on it,” Jones said.”

Translation, get this done before I kick it for good…

On it? Jerruh, you’ve been driving the damn thing ever since the owners opted out.

How does that taste Jets employees? Woody is quite a boss. Hopefully his kids can eat.
