Lighten Up On Snyder

It's great that cowboys and redskins can get along but really...I possess some MAJOR distaste for Jerry Jones and the whole cowboys organization. Hearing that it's just a business that they're pals just kind of rubs salt in the wound that the cowboys are more competitive than we are.

I thought others would be disgusted by the fact that Snyder pretty much loves him some cowboys...the rivalry doesn't mean much to him at the top.

From the bottom I don't take solace in finding that out.

Meh, you can be friends with someone but also be respectful rivals.

The league ownership circle is pretty tight, there's only 32 of them in the world. They have to work together on a lot of issues and naturally there's going to be some relationships there even between rivals. That's not to say Danny doesn't want to own them on gamedays.

It's fun to hate on people you don't know, but for all we know Jerry could be a decent guy. Just saying. And why are the Cowboys more competitive than we are if Snyder and Jones are pals??

But if you have a competitive rivalry there's just some things that you don't do with your rival.

Vacationing with them should be one of them. What other thing can you do with someone that is more initimate than vacationing with them???...Driving someone to the airport pales in the comparasion to that.

If are constantly getting worked by your competitive rival and still so happy to see them something is wrong. In that same position I would not be all smiles with my competitive arch rival.

...If I was Jerry Jones I would because he has nothing to uneasy about...I can at least see why he doesn't care that they are such good friends.

...like Jerry Jones says in the article..."The numbers are there"

The rivalry is pretty much gone dude. It is pretty hard to maintain rivalry status when it has been one sided for such a long time, plus it hasn't meant that much like when Gibbs and Landry were going at it. You have to remember, it is pretty much a business anymore, and that in itself has hurt both the college and pro game. If the game isn't being played you are subjected to constant commercialism, etc. Once you keep that in mind then the Jones/Snyder thing isn't so hard to fathom. To them money is the bottom line. They rely on you to care about things like the rivalry, etc, to keep the money flowing.

You said it, not me.

If it is about the money than would you say that it's not about winning?

If it is about money than what does winning have to do with anything? If it's about money than what does a competitive rivalry have to do wiith anything?

Unfortunately I believe that you're right when you say the rivalry is nothing to them because it's about their bottom line.

...It's not out of the question though to say that you can put the rivalry and winning in the same category and THAT is why I'm really disgruntled with the fact that Snyder and Jones are best pals.
