Belichick Bombshell! Jerry Jones' PR Dream Is Cowboys Nightmare: FISH PODCAST

Bill Belichick Bombshell! Jerry Jones PR Dream Is Dallas Cowboys Nightmare: FISH PODCAST

"The Cowboys sometimes seem like a marketing company that plays football on the side.'' - Mike Fisher

“There’s no doubt in my mind we could work together. None. None.”- Jerry Jones on Bill Belichick.

“If we got 'em talking about us, then we’re doing our job.'' - Jerry Jones.

The Dallas Cowboys owner, regarding "the job'' and his Tuesday Bill Belichick "announcement.'' is partly right. If "the job'' is about marketing, Jerry just manufactured a news bombshell.

But if "the job'' is running a successful football team? Jerry just turned The Star into a minefield. ... meaning that as a "general manager,'' Jerry just did a terrible "job.''

Which is more important to Jerry? The PR dream Or the football nightmare?

Jones, in his Senior Bowl media session in Mobile, claimed he's "all in!" for the Dallas Cowboys in 2024. But at the same time, given a chance to shut down the Bill-Belichick-to-the-Cowboys rumors, the owner instead used his big black cowboy boots to kick the door at The Star wide open.

“There’s no doubt in my mind we could work together,'' Jerry said of Belichick. "None. None.”

Great. But ... who cares? Why say that? The Fish Report and the Fish Podcast is here to explain exactly why Jerry said it. ...

Jerry calls it "above the fold,'' a newspaper reference to how important stories go at the top of the page. And he just accomplished that. But while that marks a bonanza for "PR Jerry,'' it is potentially damaging for "Football Jerry's'' team.

It threatens to do harm to the football team, to the "football side of the building.'' And the fact that Jones is willing to brush that aside in the pursuit of marketing, PR, sales and attention is troubling.

'We’re All In!' Jerry Reveals Cowboys Plan

“If we got 'em talking about us, then we’re doing our job,” Jerry says, and he's right - but it's not a "football job'' the GM is doing here. And if the GM demonstrates in his words and actions that he cares more about "marketing'' that "football''?
