What I Think of Jerry Jones (and NFL Playoff Games)

The NFL playoffs begin today.

Like all but one of each of the last 18 years, the Dallas Cowboys will not be among this weekend’s winners.  That’s 17 of the last 18 Januarys spent at home.

This may seem unremarkable unless you consider the perpetual disappointment of this wasted franchise.  Do you think the Detroit Lions or Buffalo Bills would be ranked near the top of NFL team memorabilia sales if they posted just one playoff victory in 18 years?  Somebody is fooling somebody here.  There are a lot of fools drinking Cowboy Kool-aid.

And therein lies the wicked wizardry of the man responsible for brewing the punch, behind the curtain, at the controls, pulling the levers.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Jerry Jones.
