That Aud Smell Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 u compleat me honest question, though: what of jerry's manner of ownership-management? he's almost certainly been far more involved in his team's affairs than pegula has been or ever will be. Bucky and I are masters. You should see the two of us out on the lake when the sun starts to set. ... holding hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm still amazed by Bucky's 2001 article slamming Mario Lemieux for choking in a playoff series against the Sabres -- when it was only 3-2 Sabres. That ended well. And the part where Mario Lemieux acknowledged he was PO'ed about that article was a nice cherry on top. Maybe nothing is different if that article is never written, but why are you even giving the other team bulletin board material? Are you that desperate to feel relevant? Our local sports media is pretty terrible in general. Disagree with any of them on WGR or on Twitter and they completely spazz out. They all seem extremely sensitive about having their judgment questioned since they're no more qualified to watch sports and given an opinion than anyone else in the world. You hold a good grudge. But I refuse to believe Mario Lemieux needed some column out of Buffalo to get fired up. (Same goes for the Hogs claiming Chuck Dickerson got them all soooooeeyyyy.)

woods-racer Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 And how long ago? Did Jerry do it in his first year of ownership? Super Bowl winning owner? Been a long time since Dallas has been relevant. Even a seasoned owner and lots of money don't guaranty much in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Did Jerry do it in his first year of ownership? No. Just his 4th, 5th and 7th. Pegula still has time! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 No. Just his 4th, 5th and 7th. Pegula still has time! :P And what was the biggest difference between his seventh year and all proceeding years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Jones made his fortune in oil and gas, too. Didn't know that. He also co-captained a national championship football team in college. So at least he had some chops in the sport when he bought the Cowboys. Job one, by the way: firing longtime legendary coach and GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 And what was the biggest difference between his seventh year and all proceeding years? having multiple HOF'ers at key positions, for starters. also, his coach at the time wasn't bad either.

I can't reconstruct whether a no-cap environment paved the way for the Cowboys dynasty of the 90s. I will add: Even in far less salary-regulated leagues (MLB, English Premier League), money does not buy titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the rule in MLB and in soccer is that money wins. Well, there is that. I was thinking of some exceptions, but mega clubs like Barca and Real Madrid really undo any point I would try to make. But to the larger question: Did the absence of a cap make Jerry's 90s dynasty possible? I feel like they just did a real good job drafting -- the triplets, principally.

It (lack of a cap) allowed them to keep a lot of players. Same goes for the Bills of those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
