“For me, it’s a reminder. I’ve been here 23 years. I’ve been here when it was glory hole days and I’ve been here when it wasn’t. And, so, having said that, I want me some glory hole. So I have that perspective.” - Jerry Jones

“What do you think of your team’s execution coach?” To which McKay replied, “I’m in favor of it.”

This thread needs more John McKay:

- "We didn’t tackle well today but we made up for it by not blocking"

- "If you have everyone back from a team that lost ten games, the experience isn’t too important"

- "Three or four plane crashes and we're in the playoffs."

Came here to post these. Also one of, if not my favorite football quote, of all time is:

"There's nothing like professional football!"

"And this is nothing like it!"

Wish I know who said it 🤔

I guarantee you that the moment someone explained to him what "glory hole" meant, he had one installed in the executive suite at AT&T Stadium.

Love the thread.

Jerry Glanville:  (To an official)  "The NFL stands for Not For Long in your case."

Lou Saban:  "They are killing me, Whitey!"  "They are killing me!"

Brett Favre:  To an official, "You got any of them left handed footballs?"

Favre to a teammate:  "You think God never farted?"

Brett Favre to officials:  "I got some advice for ya'll.  You need to take two weeks off, then quit."

To Ty Detmer:  "Either my head is getting bigger or these hats are getting smaller.  Shut up!"

Al Davis was a quote machine:

  • "We don't take what the defense gives us; we take whatever the hell we want."
  • "You don't adjust, you just dominate."
  • "The quarterback is going down ... The quarterback is going down hard."
  • “We would rather be feared than respected.”
  • “History will dictate what my legacy is. And 'maverick' is fine, because I am.”
  • “It’s not important to be consistent, it’s important to be right.”
  • And of course.... "Just win baby"

Decades ago, a trainer flashed some digits in front of a dizzy Jimmy Edwards.

"How many...?"

"Three," said Edwards.  Right answer.  Play on.

After the game Jimmy collapsed and was rushed to hospital with a head injury.

Later, someone asked Edwards how he passed the trainer's on-field concussion test.

"That jackass always puts up three fingers!"

Jerry said that on purpose. It was only the fans who didnt get the joke.

Was the joke that he's a weird, out-of-touch old pervert?

I think you are confusing our owners. The joke/goof being that he can say stupid ish whenever he wants to the media and create a whirlwind of publicity. He does it all the time. Makes an absurd comment and then sits back as the sports world talks about him for years. 

 

Less about being out of touch, more about knowing how to press buttons.

You could be right. He obviously loves to press buttons. That’s just such an odd thing to say on purpose. Imagine his grandkids having to listen to that. One thing’s for sure…he’s not boring. On the other hand, there will be very little entertainment value from up top once Stephen takes over completely.
