- The Dallas Cowboys are engulfed in major turmoil after yet another close loss this weekend, even though it was to the undefeated Atlanta Falcons. Major questions are being raised about quarterback Tony Romo and Owner/General Manager Jerry Jones.
- Quarterback Tony Romo faces a great deal of scrutiny after throwing 13 interceptions and only 10 touchdowns this week for a team that is only 3-5. Many Dallas fans are calling for Romo’s head as it does not seem like he is maximizing the talent around him.
- Jerry Jones is the picture of a tyrannical owner. He owns, runs and is the face of the team. However, the former college football player is not necessarily a qualified general manager. Many of his moves are reminiscent of former Oakland Owner/GM Al Davis who refused to see that he was hurting his team by refusing to give up the reigns. While many fans are calling for Jones to hire a qualified General Manager, Jones is reticent to change, saying to the that he will always be the GM of the team.
- Fans of "America's Team" have to hope that Romo and Jones can turn it around soon and starting putting the "W" back in Cowboys.
Sporting Figures Fair Poorly in Elections
- Perhaps the biggest sporting name in the 2012 elections was Linda McMahon. The wife of pro wrestling magnet Vince McMahon lost her second senate bid in 2 years for Connecticut. McMahon was defeated by Chris Murphy, after losing in 2010 to Richard Blumenthal. All told, McMahon spent $97 million on both campaigns combined.
- Another family member of sports royalty lost a senate bid on Tuesday as George Allen lost to Tim Kaine in the Virginia Senate race. Allen's brother Bruce is the General Manager of the Washington Redskins and their father George was a longtime coach of the Redskins
When are the Dallas fans going to get it? It's not "America's team". It's Jerry's team!
