I missed the joke too but I just can't believe that there is this much outrage. What a bunch of jock-sniffers. Enjoy your Cowboys season tickets.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who says the wrong thing or crosses the line without meaning to.
If I had written whatever the offensive comment was, I would dwell on it and wince with regret for years.
I hope you don't, Sam.
Jerry thought you were Titans coach Jeff Fisher.
Jerry doesn't need your pity. He hasn't done anything to harm the reputation of the Cowboys. Jerry's a character and tries his level best to help the Cowboys.
We may disagree with his means or moves but you got to say the guy is really trying. I really like the way Jerry is self-deprecating and seems to appreciate that everyone has a role to play, even if they aren't acting parts...
Jerry gets it, is making a buck off of delivering fans what they want. You can laugh at him, he's laughing with you, all the way to the Bank.
WTF? People getting pissy because Sam made a joke about the guy who turned Americas team into Americas Most Wanted? Sorry, Jones deserves all the ridicule he gets, he destroyed the reputation of the Cowboys and fired/ran off/whatever the only coach who knew how to win. Fuck him.
Got any pictures of you and John Weasel Price?
I could roll with that.
*sigh* Late to the table again. I missed what everybody's goin'on about...
I once visited the urinals at Mi Cocina with Jerry. He was a pretty nice guy even when I joked about winning playoff games while we were washing our hands.
*I obeyed Man Rule #46 - Never have a conversation with another man while using the restroom. Jerry and I also obeyed Mom Rule #2 - Always wash your hands after doing your business.
I passed the smelling salts around the trailer when I saw the OG post. Defending Jerry Jones from getting made fun of is what America's all about. If Jerry would just hire a bodyguard or two to save me from my drunken rampages he'd be the swellest guy ever.
Seriously, I hereby solemnly pledge to projectile vomit should someone capture me in the same frame as Jerry. Meow. Meow.
Those who can, do. Those who can't bother those who can on a night out and then because they feel completely unworthy to be in the same picture with them, make fun of them on their blog.
actually, just have ur wife edit the photo so its a picture of jerry. and go do the same with salisbury.
'Arent u Sean S.?'
'Yes, I am! Who are you?'
I'm Sam. Can I take a photo with you and then later, behind your cooperative back, make fun of your phamous phenis photos?'
seriously, Sam, get back in ur wheelhouse. isn;t there a Dallas County Commissioners Meeting to cover or something?
The jokes sucked but at least you had the good judgment to pull the comments.
Replace it with a "Look who was cool enough to let me take a quick pic." and you'll break even.
After reconsideration, I�ve removed a joke that was in poor taste. In the holiday spirit, I respectfully ask for a mulligan.

Touch�
You gotta like the Jerry Jones.
First, your wife can't even get you both centered in the pic, Second, you write a shitty joke...
(the 80's called, it said you are no longer allowed to tuck a T-SHIRT into your jeans)
Very lame, Sam. I will be the first guy to make fund of The Establishment, but this was really over the line.
And you couldn't carry Jerry's jockstrap.
You are a back-stabbing ass wipe.
Merten, I like your reporting, but this is something a douchebag like Tim Rogers would do*.
This merits removal for your own reputation
*Only if the victim is new money.
good on you, son. lotsa guys woulda tried to turn this into a hit-grabbing back-and-forth controversy. Journalism Jesus will someday reward you.
My apologies for the dickery and uncoolness.
And, Tony, you�re right, misspelling Gene�s name was a major gaffe -- it�s now fixed.
Major problems with you, sir.
1. Most journalists do not solicit 'photo ops' with celebrities. You are a journo, right?
2. of course, if youre a journo, you know that the woman you mention -- one of the most recognizable and most charity-minded active women in Dallas -- isn't named 'Jean Jones.' It's 'Gene.' Of course, she's only been in town for 20 years.
3. Bruce nails it above; it is possible that Jerry disliked the odor coming from your armpits or thinks your beard looks ratty. But I doubt he'll post those opinions on his website.
4. The guy on the right is calling the 66-yr-old guy on the left 'disheveled'? Seriously?
5. Satire is very difficult. The fake quotes are highly confusing and not at all amusing.
6. 'Nobody else noticed Jerry'? Sam, I doubt that. More likely, nobody else was rude enough to flag the man down, hug his shoulder, ask the wife to snap a photo while 'Jean' was kept waiting, and then ran home to a keyboard to make fun of the whole non-newsworthy scene.
Very uncool (and unfunny)
Jerry is nice enough to take a picture of you and you make a facelift joke. Not even a clever one. You, sir, are a dick.
