Jerry Jones quotes about
guy common teach
You talk about the [armed] service teaches you how to depend on each other, the service makes you aware of the common good and strips that down. Guys who go into service get to have that. But that's a high price to pay in this day and time with going into service.
real player talent
You could have a player that gave you some iffiness but his talent would make a real contribution, but you had to have an overwhelming base of players so you know exactly what you had.
sports tired feel-good
There's no question that the striving, the stuff that you got out of [sports]. The depending on someone right beside you. Sitting here and calling on yourself when you're tired or getting through something painful, watching your teammates do the same. Everybody feels good when you first walk out there.
fence
We see every day that our very laws have both sides of the fence.
meaningful football thinking
Is [football] for everybody? Of course not. But it is a meaningful contribution beyond, I think, other alternatives.
long moved
We have long moved away from some of the principles of law as to what is fair and equitable in the United States. We all see every day that's debatable, 50-50 in almost all cases.
football feelings
I take a good feeling away from what football brings.
sports opportunity giving
Sports that are continuous and never stop don't give us the opportunity to segment our messages.
trying interest
The NFL is in premium interest time, in the fourth quarter [of the business year] when you have Thanksgiving, Christmas, and that's when we try to get the most decision-makers in front of the television, in the fourth quarter.
football october november
It's the premium time, the fourth quarter. October, November, December and now, if you will, going over into the first quarter in January. But really, football, that's when the interest is in the game.
giving producers
I could hire every producer in Hollywood - 2,000 producers, let's say - and they couldn't come up with all the soap operas, in season and out of season, that NFL programming gives television.
tired character
Everybody is pretty good in the first quarter. Second quarter, you have a little bump or two on you coming into the half. By the time the third quarter comes around, you're tired, you're laboring. When you come to the fourth quarter, it calls on your character.
team thinking nfl
Nobody is thinking they're going to come out here and put a team here and become a multimillionaire. I don't know anybody that comes into the NFL like that
mean kind should
It's kind of like...with our own checking accounts, just because it's in there doesn't mean you should spend it or can spend it. You know that you have the rent coming.
