The three ring circus will continue in Dallas for the ’09 season. All indications are that Owens will be back. Jerry Jones will be back. Look who else is coming back.....How about Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Dion Sanders and Michael Irvin. Yes, they are coming back to help the Cowboys. Not to play on the team but, to help select from a reality T.V. show, a person to fill (what used to be viewed as prestigious) roster spot on the team.
I guess the Boys have been so good the last few seasons they feel they can give a roster spot to a reality t.v. contestant. Maybe they feel things can’t get any worse. Maybe Jerry Jones has always dreamed of being a ringmaster. Now, that would explain a lot!!
The show doesn’t have a title yet but, will air this spring on Spike. The winner just doesn’t win a spot on the team he also gets the pay. The rookie minimum is $300,000.00 per season.
If training camp gets the best of him, he will have to make do with just training camp salary of a measly $4,000.00 per month.
Michael Irvin said this is about far more than money. It’s the chance to line up across from Terrell Owens or catch a pass from Tony Romo.
Jerry Jones said, “I don’t see how you can make this a negative for the Cowboys. We all talk of doing good things for the community, for people, giving people opportunities.”
And I thought the Cowboys were about winning games, making the playoffs and maybe a Super Bowl. Shame on me!
Good luck with this Dallas. Hopefully the NFL will come to their senses and put a stop to Jones making a mockery of the sport. They have refused to comment on this so far.
