Add to that two NBA championships * only because Michael Jordan couldn't control his gambling addictions, and you have a major sports city that has not really done anything in it entire history.

Yes he did. Because David Stern made him sit out for running up gambling debts at Vegas casinos well into the millions of dollars.

I cheer for money-generating business enterprise number 1 over money-generating business enterprise number 2 because their parent organization decided that money-generating business enterprise number 1 should be placed in my city/state/region. Go team!!!

I enjoy watching close NFL games, or really any sporting event. But, I really don't understand being a 'passionate' fan of any professional team?? (maybe the Packers because fans can actually own part of the team) but for the rest of them, your basically just rooting for the financial interest of the owner?

I understand being a real fan of your school, college, a team you played on or your kids play for...or being a fan of individual players...otherwise I don't get it.

So angry

You don't understand how Jerry defines success. Cowboys fans define success as winning the division and making a deep run into the playoffs, if not an outright Super Bowl victory. Jerry wouldn't mind another Super Bowl win, but it's not how he defines success. To Jerry, winning enough games to ensure the stadium is always sold out and the merchandise moves so that he had a healthy bottom line, constitutes a successful season.

Which makes him a bad business owner.. The reason? HE WOULD MAKE SO MUCH MORE MONEY BY WINNING A SUPER BOWL. All this tells me is that Jerry is happy with mediocre football AND mediocre money. It would be like Apple saying, we can be the richest company in the world selling only IPhones and we are good with that. We have no desire to sell MacBooks, Apps, Watches, Cars, etc..We are good! We don't want to get even more rich than we easily could be.

Jerry is not happy with mediocre football.....He wants badly to be a winner......The problem is he and his sons suck at football operations. They think they are football geniouses, they are not. He had success with Jimmy, got jealous, and wanted to prove he could win without Jimmy. He hasn't. Even when he had good football people like Parcells he insisted his family would have final say in football operations.

This has not changed for over 25 years. The only way the Cowboys will win another championship is to let someone who knows how to run winning football operations run the team. Which will probably never happen with a Jones boy at the helm......

"Being a passionate fan of a pro football team is for the adult jersey-wearing mouth breathers who couldn't get into a legitimate university."

Exactly.

Teams who have never even made it to a Super Bowl

Houston
Jacksonville
Cleveland

Bwaaaahahahahaha…..perfect company …..

Actually, you can make that double for Houston if I recall.

No SB for the Oilers.
No SB for the Texans.

That's pretty bad for the city of Houston.

And their hockey team sucks as well. Oh wait, they don't have a hockey team.

Their baseball team has to cheat to win. Things don't look so great for Houston.

This. Professional sports Fandom is super weird and unhealthy.

Houston is the arm pit of sports. The football sucks, the basketball only won because Jordan played baseball and baseball cheated to win.

Jerry Jones is in a league of his own as a bad GM, nobody will ever be as bad for that long again.

I thought it was "go away for two years or we bust you on the gambling on the NBA" theory.

Jerry is not the GM- Steven is. Steven stopped Jerry from drafting JFF.

The Houston NFL franchises oilers/Texans had no intention of competing with the cowboys for nfl fan base supremacy in texas! The Texans are happy with their 60,000 inner loop t-shirt fans along with the NFL TV money and thus their existence as a bottom feeder in the nfl is secure. Don't expect them to step outside the box and compete for an NFL title!
