Jerry Jones quotes about
surprised
I was very surprised that he was still there.
football orleans owe people problems throughout
Football has been an inspiration to people who have other troubles. There are problems throughout New Orleans and Louisiana. We owe to those people not to take football from them.
became chance concerned good opening reviewed severe terrible
It was a terrible play. When we reviewed it after practice, we became even more concerned because it was really very much a possibility that he could have had the most severe injury. The good news, there's a chance we get him back for the opening of the season.
effort fact seen strongest
The fact that we're here and doing what we're doing is better than anything I could say. This is the strongest effort I've seen on the league's part.
entertainment happy proposal type
I'm not happy with the proposal. I didn't think we'd be entertaining the type of proposal we got from the players.
team long looks
But if you look at teams that want to share more revenues, they're teams that don't have a lot on the table. They've long since not had any serious investment in their team.
dream marine looks
Look, many of us here are regular marines... I will die as a marine because that is my dream.
cowboy looks way
We are continuing to look for ways that we can do something that's good for both of us. Good for both of us being the Cowboys relative to relief as to our cap management and good for him that would maybe be some pluses for him on his contract.
team california focus
With the initial focus groups and the initial look-sees, the Rams are a very popular team in Southern California. And so one of the reasons that it was attractive to us to work against them is because they have that good flavor.
men
You don't see young men walk out and say, "Hey, let's go knock the [stuff] out of each other." You say, "Let's hit some grounders. Let's play catch. Let's shoot some baskets."
sensitive concerned
And I completely am one of the most sensitive in that area as far as the NFL is concerned.
seven
Only 7 percent of NFL fans have ever been inside an NFL stadium. Seven... have ever been inside. So the NFL is certainly about the Colosseum of Rome. It can't be a studio game.
team people appreciate
If people have the ability to see it, and you spend the money to put the wow factor into it, they will reward that entity or that team or that business, and they will then say they appreciate me, they appreciate what I'm about, and they will support it.
We've all got to get on the same page.
