On a kick-off, as long as the ball travels 10 yards, it's anyone's ball.


If the ball is touched first within 10 yards by the kickoff receiving team then it's also anyone's ball.

That wasn't the real reason why though. It was suppose to have been a dome, but the stadium could not support the weight of the entire roof, and funding ran out before the roof support structure could be modified to support the top section


God had a lot to do with that. So that he could watch his favorite team play.

skoochie, back when the old Cowboys Stadium was built and reporters asked why the roof was never closed, the answer they received was "so God could watch his favorite team". MGM is not steering you wrong on that one.



Cowboys are not "America's Team" or even God's Team, I consider them to be MY team. But always liked them being labeled as "America's Team"

Deed: This is a very neat article I read about Owner Jerry Jones versus Old Cowboys owner Clint Murchison with General manager Tex Schramm and Head coach Tom Landry. There is no compairing the "Old School" from the "Old Fool" Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.


Jerry Jones and the Way We Were

Can it already be 20 years? Is it really possible that it was two whole decades ago that Jerry Jones informed the disbelieving Dallas Cowboys nation that he would be involved in (and in charge of) everything regarding the team, right down to the "socks and jocks?"

It has not been easy for old school Cowboys fans to accept the brash, swashbuckling, micro-managing owner's ways. This isn't the way we were taught a successful team was built and managed.

Clint Murchison, the beloved and long-since passed original owner of the Cowboys, the man who gave the team life and then entrusted it to the tender loving care of Tex Schramm and Tom Landry, was the antithesis of Jerry Jones. Murchison loved football, obviously, but never fancied himself a football man. Instead, he identified a man with a personality as big as the state after which he was named and a reputation for knowing the game, hired him and gave him the reins.

Schramm immediately went after the young defensive coordinator of the New York Giants, a man known for his steady ways and extraordinary football acumen, a man destined to become one of the NFL's most recognized and recognizable figures, the Fedora-wearing, sharp-dressing, seldom-smiling, franchise cornerstone, Tom Landry.

Together, Murchison, Shcramm, and Landry carved out a legacy. They built what would become one of the NFL's flagship franchises, a team that NFL films would one day dub "America's Team;" and then along came Jones (Of course, there was the Bum Bright interlude, but it is hardly worth remembering, so we will just pretend it wasn't there, for argument's sake).

Jerry Jones and His Coaching Carousel Versus Clint Murchison, Tex Schramm, and Tom Landry

Twenty years is long enough for Jones to have established a legacy. Since Murchison only owned the team four years longer than Jones has at this point, it is not too early or unreasonable to compare eras and try to answer the nagging question: which was better?

Old timers will answer without reading another word, "Of course the Murchison years were better! Jones is a total idiot. He couldn't carry Murchison's jock strap."

The kids will say, "Who the heck is Murchison? When were the Cowboys great? They haven't won a playoff game since I was like five or six, they suck, man."

The thirty-something crowd will say, "Three Super Bowl Rings, homes! Jones wins, hands down, even if he is an idiot."

Inside the Numbers

But what do the facts say? If we compare the two eras side by side, how does one measure up against the other.

Glad you asked.

I have compiled some data for your consideration. We will look at winning percentages, playoff appearances, Conference championship appearances, Super Bowl appearances, and Super Bowl wins.

1.Winning Percentages: Each regime got off to a slow start. The Murchison era because it was an expansion franchise with little on-field talent and the Jones era because it was an aging team in decline when he bought it and subsequently blew it up to essentially start from scratch.

•The Murchison Record: 223-126-6. That is a winning percentage of 64 percent.
•The Jones Record: 179-149-0. Winning percentage of 55 percent
•Edge: Murchison by a healthy nine percentage points.

2.Playoff Appearances:

•Murchison, Schramm, and Landry: 17 playoff appearances in 25 years (68 percent of the time), including one streak of eight consecutive years (1966-1973) and another of nine straight years (1975-1983). Those streaks were only separated by one aberrant season, meaning they made the post-season 17 times in 18 years.

•Jones and Company: Eleven playoff appearances in 21 seasons (53%), including a streak of six consecutive years (1991-1996) and eight times in nine years.
•Edge: Murchison, Schramm and Landry (and not even close.)
3.Conference Championships:
•Murchison (Old School): Landry's teams appeared in a whopping 12 conference championship games in those first 25 years, winning five of them (42%).

•Jones (Old Fool): Jones' teams (most would correct this to Jimmy Johnson's teams) made four consecutive conference title games, from 1992 to 1995. They won three of the four (75%).
•Edge: Murchison for the sheer numbers, but Jones' teams had an incredible success rate in the big games, so that narrows the gap some, but not enough to give Jones the nod.
4.Super Bowl appearances:
•M-L-S: Five Super Bowl appearances in the 1970s.
•JJ: Three Super Bowl trips in the 1990s.
•Edge: Murchison, et al.

5.Super Bowl wins:
•Murchison, Schramm, and Landry won two of their five Super Bowls (40%)
•Jones, Johnson, and Switzer won all three of theirs. (That is 100%, if you are keeping score.)
•Edge: Jones and Company.
So, out of five major categories, Murchison and the dream management team he assembled win four of them. Jones, many might argue, more than redeems himself with three Lombardi Trophies in four years and that is a valid consideration. However, the current 12 year drought without a playoff victory would seem to dilute that argument just a little.

Outside the Numbers

When you consider intangibles, such as structure and stability, the scale tilts even more in favor of the Murchison team. For its first 28 years, the Dallas Cowboys had one coach and that coach led them to 12 conference title games and five Super Bowl appearances. In Jones' first 21 seasons, the team has plowed through five head coaches and is now on its sixth.

On the business side, Jones may be peerless in the NFL. He took one of the great sports brands and built it into a franchise which Forbes Magazine has valued at somewhere around 1.5 billion and rates them the number one professional sports franchise in the world.

Confusion of Biblical Proportions

When I think of Jerry Jones and how confusing it can be to determine whether he is one of the best or one of the worst owners in the NFL, I am reminded of a story in the Old Testament, in the book of Ezra. Zerubbabel led a group to rebuild the temple, which had lain in ruins for many years. When it was done, there was a celebration.

Ezra 3:11-13 describes the scene. It tells us that the young men were shouting for joy while the old men, the ones who remembered the glory of Solomon's temple, wept. The shouting and the weeping mingled together, so that you could not distinguish one from the other.

That is kind of how it feels to be a Cowboys' fan. You shout for the joy of those unforgettable, magnificent teams of the 90s, but you weep for the glory of the past, a glory that may never be duplicated or restored.

Twenty years of Jerry Jones and I still don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Bilichick had way too much confidence in his defense.


Belichick had way too much confidence in his offense which failed and cost him the game. The Colts had beaten the Patriots 4 of the last 5 games they played and Belichick wanted to send a message that the Pats are back. Now the Colts have beaten the Pats 5 out of the last 6.

How many times have we seen a team that was in the lead punt the ball with a couple minutes left to play in the game and the other team ends up scoring off that punt to win the game? Many times in the past.


Roger Staubach has led the Cowboys to victory in under two minuites to play when being behind 23 times in his career. No telling how many times John Elway and Brett Favre has done it.

Funniest thing in week 10 NFL
Bud Adams gives Bills owner 90 year old owner Ralph Wilson and the Buffalo Bills fans the double barrell shotgun and screw off salute after sundays game. Commissioner Roger Goddell happened to be sitting next to Adams at yesterdays game. I think Adams was pissed because Wilson was elected into the Pro Football Hall of fame and Adams was not.

^^^Instant replay was brought in the mid to late eighties. But it was a 1976 playoff game Patriots at Oakland where the Patriots were robbed of that game because of all the bad calls that went against them. The Tuck rule was replayed but that was just a payback to the Raiders from the '76 playoff game the patriots lost and I truly believe that. It was a controversial roughhing the passer call that helped the raiders score in the last few seconds of that game. That should have never been called. Thje Raiders also held pats tight end Russ francis from a TD on one of their drives that wasn't called either.

Champ Bailey holding Patrick Crayton but not getting penalized on 4th down and the game on the line was a Bad Call by the Officials. Dallas could be 7-1


football fans who think that ONE play decides a whole game. Dallas fans who STILL cant accept losing to my Denver Broncos.


During the time I posted this Thread and being a Cowboys fan that was the only play that came to my mind where I needed to use it as an example. Sorry, Broncsbuff for getting you all riled up.

SEC cheating its way to a national title?
Posted: 11/12/2009 8:59:41 AM

It was about Notre Dame beating Alabama in the Sugar Bowl in the 1970s, I think. Blown calls and all.


If your referring to the 1973 Sugar Bowl game, The greatest college game ever played there were no blown calls in that game. Bama blew it when they missed an extra point losing the game 24-23.

By the way "Bear" Bryant never did beat the Irish the four times he faced them. Losing 24-23, 13-11, 21-18, and 7-0
